Claim to fame: 

Howzit! My name is Aaron Gimpel, a certified Glen Beach local and Sea Point frother. I’m 19 years old and have been competing in bodyboarding contests since I started riding in 2019. I love a clean inny or a solid barrel and I’m keen to see how that stacks up against the big dogs in the Pro division this year. I’m grateful for everything this sport has given me and I’ll be giving it my best shot. Looking forward to the clinical masterclasses from the rest of the crew!
