Subject: Letter for DSRT SURF
To whom it may concern,
My name is Josh Kerr and I' ve been a traveling professional surfer for 20 years competing at
the highest level on the World Surf League tour for close to 15 of those. I also now head up
the Red Bull Airborne specialty event series which is part of the World Surf League. I' m
originally from the Gold Coast of Australia and have resided in Carlsbad, California with my
wife and 2 kids for over 10 years now.
With California being my home for close to a decade, I'm a big believer in a destination of this
magnitude and nature in one of the most beautiful places in California that doesn' t have an
ocean. The combination of endless waves and world class golf in the climate that Palm Desert
offers is a dream come true. It will be amazing for not only my young family, but for existing
and aspiring surfers from California and all over the world that are just as excited as myself to
be able to go to Palm Desert and enjoy everything it has to offer!
Best
Josh Kerr
