Taj Burrow

A Mohawk toting, baby-nappy changing, air freak from Western Australia. Taj Burrow is owner to some of the greatest video parts ever and one of the longest serving pros in tour history. Taj’s laidback attitude on land is totally opposite of his eternally explosive approach in the water.
