About Ross Clarke-Jones — surfing athlete

Ross Clarke-Jones is a legendary Australian big-wave surfer with instant credibility in action sports, ocean safety, and high-performance recovery. With a loyal surf audience, strong visual storytelling, and authentic experience in the world’s most iconic waves, he’s a natural fit for brands that want rugged, adventurous, and high-impact sponsorship energy.


Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 Born on 6.6.66 in Sydney, Australia, Ross made his name as a big wave surfer at the 1986 Billabong Pro and the Pipeline Masters in Hawaii. He went on to spend 12 years on the ASP World Tour. He has starred in and produced some of the most iconic surf films ever made, including Mad Wax, The Sixth Element (his own biopic, narrated by Dennis Hopper), Storm Surfers 3D and the four-part TV series of Storm Surfers. In January 2001, Ross became the first Australian surfer, in fact the first non-Hawaiian, to win the prestigious Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau. In 2004, and again in 2016, he took second place at the elite big wave competition now known as The Eddie. Ross divides his time between Portugal, Hawaii and Australia. He bases himself in Bells Beach, Australia, chasing fierce swells in the Southern Hemisphere in places like South Africa, New Zealand, Tasmania and Western Australia.

How Genisys Credit Union Built a Multi-Year Detroit Lions Athlete Program

What started as a single partnership with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has become a multi-year, two-athlete program that Genisys has renewed and expanded every season since 2024, adding Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in 2025 and renewing him again in 2026.
