Claim to fame:

Aden is one of the most professional bodyboarders in South Africa, and one of the few riders who managed to turn bodyboarding into a daily job. He is the owner of Bodyboarding South Africa and one of the best coaches around. In the water, he is lethal in both prone and DK, and has his eyes firmly on the 25K that’s up for grabs.
