Surf shop Puerto Escondido - 71983 Puerto Escondido

Born into a family of local fisherman in Puerto Escondido, Roger spent his entire life by the sea. His older brothers Lupe, Juan, and Miguel belonged to the first generation of surfers in all of Mexico. To this day, the Ramirez brothers are recognized as true surfing pioneers; respected for their contributions to the sport and the path they paved for many to follow. Motivated by his brothers and watching an increasing number of foreigners arriving to town in the name of surfing, Roger picked up a board at the age of 12 and by the age of 16 he was already a standout in the water. Over the next several years, Roger gained international fame and notoriety from his signature style in powerful waves, particularly in the heaving lefthand barrels of the Mexican Pipeline. He increasingly drew attention from magazines around the world with these published photographs, transcending borders and building his tube-riding reputation. Over the course of the next decade, Roger went on to enjoy a successful journey as a competitive professional surfer, supported by first-class surfing brands as his sponsors. During this time, he also began to gain experience in shaping and manufacturing surfboards. He traveled frequently to the United States and later to Europe to learn under some of the best hand-shapers in the industry and perfect his own craft, while simultaneously doing what he loved most: surfing.
