“Dude, I’ve paid off all my debt AND bought a new board at Bird’s” said Tom, a former Pacific Beach bartender. “Thanks Unco Sam!”
Recognizing this unique time in surf culture, the dudes at JM Sales and Service, a San Diego-based sales and marketing agency representing Volcom, Electric, Stance, MIZU and Christenson Surfboards, have introduced the EDD Surf Team.

No longer a pastime, as a member of the EDD Surf Team, you are technically a PROFESSIONAL surfer akin to Kelly Slater and/or Jamie O’Brien. After all, this is what you have always dreamed of, GETTING PAID TO SURF.
While you ride this wave as long as the state and feds keep loading your BofA debit card, let your local break know that you’re a PRO by rocking a EDD Surf Team t-shirt.
Important to note, there are also Team EDD for skating, drinking, fishing, and golfing.
