Jared Mell

Surfing’s wild affair with Jared Mell started way back in 2006.

Surfing’s wild affair with Jared Mell started way back in 2006. At the time, Jared was sleeping on Alex Knost’s couch in Newport, California. He was just 18 years old at the time, but was born with cat-like paws perfect for prowling a log effortlessly, as well as the instincts to match. These days, Jared’s bringing old school to a new surfing world order, and his passport is now filled to the brim with stamps from traveling the globe. You’ll find him brandishing his smooth style and switch skill, while gaining a solid reputation -- and breaking hearts along the way.
