Why Eric Geiselman is rad:
1. First and most importantly, he surfs. That’s enough to make anybody rad.
2. Eric is sponsored by Fox. Fox = anything and everything rad (surfing, bmx, mountain biking, moto x, wakeboarding…). Eric makes Fox rad, and therefore he makes anything and everything rad.
3. Eric comes from Florida, which pops out Slater-esque groms like a rabbit without birth control. To stand out in a crowd like that takes some extreme radness. (Note that the radness gained by standing out from the groms is greater than the radness lost by being in a state filled with old people, giving Geiselman a net gain of radness).
4. He surfs. It deserves to be said at least twice.

His parents, Greg and Gina, have supported him in his efforts and taught him to be a gentleman and a good person. He has learned well.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:39 am
He’s on my wall. It’s a dakine cardboard poster doing a sick alleyoop. E’s rad ’cause he rips.
September 18th, 2008 at 1:01 am
action /adventure / Thc jedi craves not these things. Geisselman for pres.
September 18th, 2008 at 1:56 am
He rips,shreds,kickflips, jams, rocks,rules,owns. In a few years he might ride onto a wct podium,stall at the microphone, and forgo a victory speech to play the star spangled banner; ala Jimmy, minus the psychedelic LSD laden headband, then medley into FOXy lady to shout out his sponsers. Then he’ll eat a sandwich…why? Cause he’s hungry.

The first thing that comes to mind when being asked why I think Eric is such a rad surfer is how he embraces his family. I am in the military and know from experience that family is #1 when it comes to tackleing lifes chalanges. Also Eric Geiselman is a east coast surfer from florida. So in my own opinion that also makes him a rad surfer.
September 18th, 2008 at 6:24 am
yo Eric Geiselman is so rad just from his last name alone. just switch the G with a D and you get DEISLMAN. Nah, but seriously Eric rips harder than any other surfer out there, ya he isnt on the ASP world tour(he’s more than good enough to get on it) but the photos ops he gets are amazing and really bring out the true style or surfing. how else can’t you describe a perfect life: sponsored by Fox, Skateboard….and is good at it, Pro surfer, and can rock the Guitar…that life sucks….NOTT! haha btw if it helps i need a new board!!
September 18th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Mindblowing creativity a rad surfer does make. As someone much wiser then I said once “It’s not impossible if you believe you can do it.” Eric’s ability to think outside the box combined with otherworldy talent makes mind surfing a reality. Rad isn’t about how hard you rip, or about how gnarly you are. Rad is about pushing the limits every time, all the time. Rad is about having no ceiling. Eric has no ceiling. And if I had to ask Eric one question, I would have quote Wesley from one of the greatest movies ever, well, RAD. Eric, “You think you have room for one more on the RAD team?” Epitomizing radness, only Eric can make this decision.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Tall guys that rip are the shit!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:04 am
What makes Eric so rad? Well he’s not Chris Cote and thats what makes him so rad.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:08 am
what makes him so rad is that he can do two different sports and be great at both the pictures they shoot of him surfing are amazing and some of my favorite photos if i could pick any surfur to meet he would defintly be one ofm y top chices. so please pick me.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:18 am
O_o? Is this a trick question?
September 18th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Geiselman is rad because I heard he once beat Chuck Norris in a Pipemasters Final…on a SUP.
September 18th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I cant believe all the brown nosing, its embarrasing. Ya he rips: cool! I think he should name his next manuever the Geise-sleeze, because could you imagine contest announcers calling this out? Lets just hand me over the free stuff and we will call it a day.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
because I heard he can beat Super Mario Bros. with his feet in 5 minutes flat….I obviously have a thing for double jointed toes.
September 18th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
ALL AROUND RIPPER.
September 18th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
He’s from florida and rips harder than slater.
September 18th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
First and foremost, what makes a man rad? This is a question that only the most killer bros can answer. This is not something for the Pairs Hiltons of the world. To get this question answered i knew what i must do, it was a quest a quest that would bring me in and out of many different states. So I began! Many questions were asked many men met….. Blah Blah Blah…. The end of this long drawn out story is that i met no one who really could get to the down and dirty roots of what rad was (which did not help me in my quest as to why Eric Geiselman was so rad). So i searched my own soul and decided the answer was right in fron of me. Eric is so rad, not because he is a good surfer, awesome bro, man stud, and even a lady killer. The reason is that he is so rad is because he has web sites dedicated to making groms tell him why he is so rad and that is just f#@*ing rad.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
why is Eric Geiselman is so rad first and for most he works it with the ladys surf and skates like his boards were carved from mount olympis itself ,and is giving away all this shit making him officially the man.
September 18th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
On his younger brother’s first hand for Fuel TV he was ripping the mini ramp in his backyard. Also him and his family went out for a surf and he was punting and busting loose in Florida mush. Not only is he a great free surfer always having sick clips and a recent pro spotlight in Transworld Surf but along with the Gudauskas brother’s he is an American hopeful for the WCT in the near future.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
If I could pull a alley oop on a snowboard as well as he does on a surfboard, I would be stoked. There is more to style then throwing spray at people, and he’s got it. And he skates like a demon.. Keep up the good work man.. Inspirational.. Luego
September 18th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Hes totally rad, awesome style, extremly good looking, a role model to young surfers, loved by tons, and obviously an amazing surfer
September 18th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Eric Geiselman (b. February 11, 1972, Cocoa Beach, FL, USA), known simply as eric, is an American professional surfer best known for his competitive prowess and inspirational style. He is widely regarded as the greatest professional surfer in the history of the sport, often drawing comparisons to other dominant athletes such as Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
eric has been crowned ASP World Champion a record 9 times, including 5 consecutive titles from 1994-98… sorry im not that creative so i just copied this from wiki.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:12 am
I think he’s rad, not only for his talent and style, but his good looks and generosity! Thanks for the contest, dude!
September 19th, 2008 at 1:59 am
Eric Gieselman once bodysurfed an avalanche, without a wetsuit. He 50-50′d the Golden Gate bridge, while breakdancing, blindfolded. He basejumped into Mauna Loa. His California burrito farts cure cancer…and gout. Christmas happens to fall on Eric’s birthday, it’s now called Ericmas - we checked with Christ, He’s cool with it. Eric plays Beethoven on the piano, from across the room. Ocho Cinco changed his name to Ocho Gieselman, for intimidation reasons. He sent a chimp to space, after teaching the chimp to build a rocket. He recently put oyster farms out of business, manufacturers around the world blame Eric for being “the ultimate aphrodisiac.” After acquiring Eric as team member, gas was free, babies never cried again, and the surf was always perfect.
Oh, and he once gave away 4,000 bucks, just because he was in a good mood.
September 19th, 2008 at 6:12 am
Eric Geiselman …… oh hell what cant i say about this browski.
Rad, Bomb, Shreadder, Broha, Surf Crazied Machine!!!! This guys insane, any board he steps onto, he finds a way to make your jaw hit the floor like a brick. From a surf board to a indo balence board!!
Plus Eric has just joined the exclusive club of “my tears can cure cancer!” Too bad for us him and Chuck Norris never cry!!
Hey Eric props for giving all us someone to look up to, and a chace to win a dream board! Thanks! Thasyndrome–Kevin
September 19th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Anyone who can inspire this type of giveaway, enough said. Thank you Eric Geiselman!
September 19th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Talented and cute, what more could a girl ask for.
September 19th, 2008 at 11:27 am

Eric is rad because he is pulling the freshest tricks and making a serious impact on the surfing world. Because of him a lot of smyrna kids are having a greater oppurtunity to get recongnition. He hasn’t lost sight of where he is from and always gives back to the community. Plus he did a gnarly dance on the stripper pole when I was on the FOX bus. Pretty rad.
September 20th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Eric who……? Oh that’s right, just the winner of the ‘06 ASP Pro Junior circuit, NSSA legend and a solid contender on the WQS. By the way he is also an East Coaster….so shove it you pompous west coast kooks.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Eric is so rad because when the inlet is crowded he can just boost over them while us mortals are forced to slalom surf. And he can save shipping by dropping his gear off at my house. Thomas in NSB.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Eric Geiselman….doesnt the name say it all? well anyway if you dont think so then wake up! he made a slick through with a hat trick at the NSSA East Coast Championships who does that o yea i’ll tell you who ERIC RIPPIN IT UP GEISELMAN!!!!!!!!!!!…keep shedding your awsome!!!!!!!!!!!
-Surfing needs someone positive to look up to that can protect us from chuck norris! you rock!
September 21st, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Hahah, what makes E.G so rad. He’s the ASP pro jr. tour champ, aand he’s sponsored by fox. His mom is a esa champ, and his dad shapes orion boards, so he has natural talent. Eric can surf, skate, and even play guitar. He’s sooo rad, that he’s on the etnies surf team. He surfs like a madman, and is a role model. So Eric Geiselman isnt just rad, he was born rad.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:35 pm
FACT: Eric Geiselman is a rad individual. Often innovators and philosophizers of the Rad, like myself, have deeply questioned and debated, “What makes one so rad? is it Nature or Nurture?”. That is until G-man came, and broke the mold. First off, as if from a fairytale and the lords of all that is RAD, the guy was born in New Smyrna, one of the heaviest breaks in Florida. Due impart to the gross amounts of foreboding bull sharks that feed on a constant supply of unwary human limbs. And yet the “RAD” locals of New Smyrna still paddle out every morning, day or night in hope of keeping the feeling of their first wave endlessly flowing, needless to say, and in natures argument the kid comes from good stock. His pahs a shaper for Orion and mahs a femme fatale ripper and former champ. The kid loves his family, families are rad. Secondly Eric was awarded for “Best Maneuver” during the 2007 Surfer Video Awards, showing a progressive attitude to the lifestyle and sport. He also is musically talented and once was asked by Estaban to teach him some new techniques on the guitar, what happened afterward can only be described, or rather heard in “Flame, Flamenco & Romance, Vol. 2″. One of my personal favorites before going out for a night on the town covered in AXE BODYSPRAY. Rad. Fourthly Eric was born in the mysterious year of 1988. Being also a blessed baby of ‘88, i can tell the public of the prophecy that was told to me last night from “Earl”, a diety and wiseman that can only be found at 3am in front of Sonoco on winspear rd. wearing a sylvester and tweaty denim jacket and neon green capri’s. I was roaming the streets, tired, confused and contemplating what the hell to put in for this giveaway, when he appeared asking me for change for a buss pass, I would only agree to give him the change if he helped me out on my question. Having him agree, I asked, “What should I write in Transworlds giveaway that asks Why Eric Geiselman is so rad?” after staring at me for a good minute He replied “Who the hell is Eric Geiselman?!” in a bit of an aggressive voice. And I began to weave the story of Eric and his innovations in surfing and the whole new style he was bringing to the competition. And that’s when he replied to me in a voice like the drunks getting questioned in COPS, “The early bird gets the worm…… but the second mouse…….. gets the cheese.” After settling in to my dorm room, i began to ponder this peculiar statement, and thats when it hit me. Eric Geiselman is that second mouse, going where others have fallen, only Eric doesn’t die from the trap, he collects that cheese, banking in on the best that surfing has to offer. So keep going Eric, keep progressing and making the sport and lifestyle better for us all because thats what we all should be doing for surfing. Giving back to the sport that does so much for us! Keeping it on the outer limit, thats why Eric is so rad.
Love

September 21st, 2008 at 9:31 pm
The reasons I think Eric is rad because he SHREDS at surfing. I also think hes rad because he plays guitar i can relate because i surf and play the guitar.
Keep shredding Eric!!!
September 21st, 2008 at 9:48 pm
First off, Eric Geiselman is just a sick name. If someone were to say, “Hey you should enter in a contest sponsered by Eric Geiselman” I would have already entered before they finished the sentence. Also, I am a drummer and a drummer needs a guitarist to make music. Im not saying that drumming isnt musical, just that a guitarist would be pretty cool to have, and man, if that guitarist was a pro surfer, that would make him pretty rad. Eric is so rad because he plays the guitar and shreds at the same time.
Eric’s style of surfing is so rad because he pushes the limits while staying true to his roots. With all the question about “fake” surfing nowadays, its good to see someone who stays true to the roots of surfing. I have surfed for awhile now and i would love to surf like Eric one of these days, and having his rad board will definitely help me. Keep on ripping, Eric. Keep on being just as rad as Eric, Transworld Surf. (and thats pretty rad if you ask me)
September 21st, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Simply put He has been blessed by God and that makes him Totally RAD
September 22nd, 2008 at 11:00 am
He is a Le”bro” Da’Vinci of radness. He is a true modern rennaisance man simply showing kids around the globe how it’s done. That being said, ladies quiverat the mention of his name and dudes turn green with envy. I admire this man a great deal, and if I ever find myself with a few groms made from my own blood, I hope they’ll be just like the one, the only, THE Eric Geiselman.
September 22nd, 2008 at 11:27 am
he’s RAD because he surfs skates and plays guitar…and that’s it.
September 22nd, 2008 at 11:58 am
Eric Geiselman is gnar, obviously. In fact, he is such a bad ass he has all of us wasting time that could be spent surfing to suck up to him all in hopes of getting a free board, guitar, and other sawg. This being said, my 6′3″ WRV squash tail just broke, my Epiphone Performer ME’s neck is warped, and I’m tapped for cash. Hook it.
September 22nd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Eric Gieselman alone is a rad name, he kickflips, skates, and surfs, enough said.
September 22nd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Eric Geiselman is the MAN! He is wicked at skateboarding and intense at surfing. I would be REALLY surprised if their is someone out their that could beat Eric in surfing, or skateboarding. Keep it up Eric and some day very soon you will be kicking everybody’s ass if your not all ready. I hope you pick me for this give away because i use to surf until i moved to NY so now i am skateboarding and hoping to get as amazing as you when I’m older. Pick me please!
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:58 pm
HE’s from Fla. and not just some lame beach community, but one that is on the top 10 most dangerous beaches as determined by TWSurf. Wanna talk about balls… I didn’t think so. NBK losers!
September 23rd, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I’m the man. I put the rad in desperado. I should give myself this prize package because I’m so rad.
September 23rd, 2008 at 11:14 pm
He kills it by land or sea, super expressive,creative, high flying, banging gutiar riffs, talent and persistance squared, a shining star in a vast surf galaxy, skating thru some tunes, styling, ripping, and generous enough to part with some personal items, Eric is definately da man…………
September 24th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
He rips,shreds,kickflips, jams, rocks,rules,owns. In a few years he might ride onto a wct podium,stall at the microphone, and forgo a victory speech to play the star spangled banner; ala Jimmy, minus the psychedelic LSD laden headband, then medley into FOXy lady to shout out his sponsers. Then he’ll eat a sandwich…why? Cause he’s hungry.
…On top of all that,he gives away boards and guitars to Canadian surfers who have smashed half their quiver already this fall?
September 24th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
A poeeem for EG….<3
The sun shines on New Smyrna Beach
as an angel is born from his mothers cheech
the date was march 9 1988
little did he know his birthday was three days late
for then you see are birthdays would have been the same
but lucky for eric his backside airs are insane
your hair and skin is dark yet golden
and flows through my mind like hot lava ever so molten
i heard your a drummer i know they can keep a rythem
and you get so shacked you keep my head spining
and eric i swear i’m not gay
but i just have one last thing to say
….your just one rad guy
September 25th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
For one, eric Geiselman is from new smyrna beach which happens to be my home beach. Not only is he another successful surfer from long beach but smyrna is really small wave and the swell is not all that great. It makes him rad that he can be one of the top and most talented surfers in the world and call smyrna home.
Second, it is good to here that he has crossed in both action sports, surfing and skating. Not only this, but he plays guitar. Next kelly slater?
Show the world that florida surfers hold it down, eric.
September 29th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Eric Gieselman is rad because he is a bromanizer ( = womanizer)!
Bromanizer - your surf buddy that scores all the women. Example: “Eric can surf, skate, and play the guitar, all the women want him, he’s a total bromanizer.”
September 29th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Eric Gieselman is rad because he rips on so many different playing fields, surfing,skating,guitar. if i ripped on half the level he did id be surfin babes instead of waves!
October 2nd, 2008 at 12:23 am
e R ic Geiselman
Eric Geiselm A n
D is not in Eric Geiselman, which i why Eric Geiselman is so rad
October 2nd, 2008 at 12:25 am
the bigger question is how is Eric Geiselman not rad?
October 5th, 2008 at 3:31 am
Eric Geiselman is no less of a legend! rather than ‘trying’ to list what this maddog is rad at i want to know if there is anything he isnt rad it!… Anyone?…
Eric is the raddest dawg for wanting to hook us fellow bruthers up, who are constantly trying to be half as rad as he is at just one thing, with the kick ass threds and tools he reps to be so rad and the truth is most of us will never come close to him!
So Eric bru, help me, a lil old New Zealander be as rad as you this summer (for us summer is just starting). There is no doubt that i will shred my local break, bust berms, jam all night long and score the ladies just like you with your sweet package witch is prety much a piece of you!
Peace out Eric, stay maddog!!
PS please help me to bust ma m8z ballz when they see me rockin owt with the sweeeetest threds, board and strings all summer long! haha
October 8th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Eric Geiselman is hot.
Period.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Eric is sooo sick cause first off he is from my home state of florida,he’s pretty much sick at everything that I do, surf,skate, and guitar;his dad shapes orion surfboards, he is sponsered by etnies and fox(two of my favorite componies), his little 9 year old brother has 9 East Coast Championship titles,he has an extremely sick style and talent and is one of my favorite, surfers, skaters, musicians, and role models. He kicks so much ass at everything. keep on keepin on eric!!!
Peace,

October 15th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Eric Gieselman is so rad because Eric is just rad. Giesel makes him more rad because i’ll bet he’s related to Dr. Seuss. And of course being a man makes him rad because he’s no scrub, nor is he a boy, or anyone’s son.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Eric Gieselman is so rad because he has the kerrupt flip on lockdown. He is a super stylish surfer and just flows really good. Not only does he kill it at surfing but he can also skate and play the guitar. All around Eric is just the man. I think he will be on the tour in a year.
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Beacause Eric won 3 ASP Pro Jr. finals,and ended 2006 as the ASP Pro Jr. Tour champ. which is my dream and i have to sit here in school watching surfline, and Eric ripping Teahupoo. I look out the window and see smoggy, hot, LA with no waves… ever.
October 27th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
eric geiselman is RAD!!! because though he’s a ssick surfer and absolutely shreds….he has an amazing talent on the skateboard as well. How many pro surfers do you know who not only do both but are freakin awesome at both!!?? Bein that my board snapped this past summer surfin brown water in galveston before it got wrecked by hurricane IKE, and my parents won’t provide in the funding of a new stick, Eric G’s board would be the best thing EVER for me at this very sad time in my life. Also, props to FOX for bein rad eneough to throw this deal whoever wins! Surfing, MX, Sk8boardin…they do it all at FOX. thanks bros

Eric is the absolute future of surfing, his style delivers power and ariel perfection. He will go down in history and be a surfing icon for centuries.
March 21st, 2009 at 9:33 pm
What makes Eric Geiselman so rad?! Well, What Doesn’t!!!!!!!!!!!?????
Eric is sooo rad because he is an EXTREMELY awesome pro surfboarder born in New Smyrna Beach and he is sponsored by some of the best sponsors ever!!!! Eric is a very cool guy and he is without doubt the BEST SURDBOARDER EVER!!!! What makes him extremely rad to me is that we do the same stuff!!!!! I rip on guitar, an awesome skateboarder and I surf too!!!! we even have hair that looks the same!!! lol NOBODY COULD BE MORE RAD THAN ERIC WHEN HE DOES THE SAME STUFF AS ME AND IS AS COOL AS HE IS!!!!!!!! He has rode some of the gnarliest waves and has made it through a lot! He is very tough too…mentaly and physicaly!!!!..thats very rad and important when you do what he does!!! Eric is the raddest guy on the planet, the best surfer ever on Earth, he is extremely awesome, and we have A LOT in common!!!!!!!! The last thing that makes him rad is that he is nice enough to have a sweet contest to give away a bunch of free stuff!! If i get picked for this contest you would be the nicest, coolest, and best dude EVER ON EARTH!!!!!!!! NOBODY WOULD BE COOLER THAN YOU AND YOU ARE THE RADDEST PERSON EVER!!!!
Thanks!!,

October 19th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
ohh…… and write back
January 12th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
He was born on Krypton and is just toying with us, that other shit was a cover he never spent a second in Kansas. He could never have just on Lois to serve his desires, nor one rad sport or hobby. He is super rad, and should kick me some of his super rad shit, so I can feel like i am super rad; Even though, unlike Eric, my feeling of radness would be just that; but I could savior in to Depends years.
February 19th, 2010 at 7:54 am
Eric Geiselman slayed his through the babes and waves of flordia and when he was done that wasnt enough. He felt he needed more so on a whem he set out on an epic adventure were he met many a folk and encounterd many a stuff. First its tuesday, spanish dogs migrate north to the english coast because they obviously can swim, when comes in handy seeing as how there are sharks. there in for a suprise. Because theres nothing worse than a geiselman in the english strait.
