IN OTHER WORDS

Whitaker excelled in 2006 building on the platform he established in 2005 to finish in eight spot on the Foster’s ASP World Tour ranks. The athletic regular footer also demonstrated to the surfing world that he is the real deal and is well and truly capable of claiming the scalps of the sport’s biggest names. Whitaker has always been considered a dark horse at events and it won’t be long before he walks away with a top tour win. Whits has constantly been climbing the rankings since his rookie year in 2003 and watch for him to rattle cages in 2007.
