Surfing Power Couple: Danny Fuller & Tori Praver

He’s RVCA’s A-list surf advocate, she’s supermodel CEO of Tori Praver swimwear, and they’re surfing’s newest proud parents. On 2/28 the Hawaii natives had a baby girl Ryan, who’s genetics already make her Hawaiian Royalty. The once stone-faced pipeline charger Fuller has no problem expressing affection for his SI cover-girl, and I’m sure we’ll be seeing lots of baby Ryan on Instagram. CONGRATS! Follow the power couple @DannyFuller @ToriPraver

Along with his big wave accolades, Fuller has made a name for himself in photography and hi-fashion modeling. He honed those skills to design signature trunks with his mosaic photography and performance fit.

Prepare to have your stomach in your throat as he tests out his RVCA trunks at Cloudbreak last year.

Surf In Your Clothes

Was it Dion, Gerry, or some mysto bali bro who sparked the hybrid apparel movements for fully amphibious style in the line-up? It seems as though guys are landing cover shots by adding the extra flair of a hula shirt while whirling an air reverse. Either way: we love it, and Dion nails it.
