Most recently, Alejo dominated competition at one of surfing’s biggest stages, winning the 2013 U.S. Open of Surfing amid a field of the best World Tour and Qualifying Series Tour surfers on the planet.
“Alejo is a surfer whose passion and commitment to performance are inspiring,” explains Dragon’s Global Brand Manager Rick Irons. “That inspiration is what Dragon is all about, making him a perfect fit for our surf program.”
Alejo will kick off the 2014 WCT season wearing Dragon’s new line of floatable sunglasses, which launched in 2013. The Dragon H20 Floatable Collection employs a specially formulated injected frame and Performance Polar Lens that stays afloat in the ocean, pool, or lake. They are available in all your favorite frames, including The Jam, Vantage and Double Dos.
