BioFred Patacchia is a fast and powerful goofyfoot who was born and bred on the North Shore of Oahu. He's a former prodigy and NSSA Champ and was the 2005 ASP Rookie of the Year! Fred finished 14th in the year-end ratings after blowing up in Tahiti, Fiji, South Africa and Brazil. He's an incredible tube rider at spots like Pipe and Teahupo'o and he's also got a wicked backhand honed from years smacking the lip at his home break of Haleiwa. He had another great year in 2006, finishing 2nd at Teahupo'o and 3rd in Brazil and has already qualified for the 2007 tour. Outside of surfing, Fred has an eclectic taste in music - he loves hip-hop, rock, even country. He's Hawaiian through and through and he loves his Mom's cooking. He's also a confident, smooth talking ladies man who has even been known to bust a few break dancing moves.
