Competitive surfer Clay Marzo is widely regarded as being among the world’s best. He’s also got Asperger’s syndrome.
Competitive surfer Clay Marzo is widely regarded as being among the world’s best. He’s also got Asperger’s syndrome.
His surfing peers marvel at his skills, but also are baffled by his many quirks and mannerisms, which include lots of hand-rubbing, hair-twisting and voracious eating habits.
Marzo’s impact on the sport has been so significant that major sponsors and contest directors now are changing the structure and judging of new surfing competitions to focus on the creative and expressive aspects that the goofy-footed (surf lingo for right-foot forward) surfer is bringing to the sport.
