Short Biography

Ry Craike is an extraordinarily talented surfer who has an acrobatic approach to riding a wave. To understand what he does, you need to run the tape in slo-mo. Ry grew up surfing on isolated reefs off the West Australian coast with his fisherman dad and his creativity was encouraged. His parts in Young Guns 2 and 3 are otherworldly and his airs, throw tails and barrel riding skills rank right up there with the best surfers in the world. Although known as a hard partying wild man, Ry is also one of the nicest and most approachable guys you’ll ever meet and is always a great pick for any surf trip. Check out his new signature film, “There’s No I in Go Ry” and his website rycraike.com.

Photos from “There is No I In Go Ry” premiere in San Diego

by mramirez

Ry Craike has a new movie coming out next month.   Quiksilver partnered up with Ry’s other sponsors and blew up the BONDI Bar last Thursday night Sept 10th in San Diego.  We had Tooheys New (Aussie local beer) flown in for this night.  We also had the GOONS OF DOOM play live after the movie.  Well the word circulated at the ASR show that there would be free Aussie beer, Ry’s new film, and that the Goons of Doom playing live.  With that said, basically the entire ASR show came to support Ry and indulge in some good old Aussie BEER drinking at the BONDI BAR.  It was a packed house to see Ry’s new movie.  Ry’s new movie is sick with non stop tail hucks, BIG Airs, and tube rides.  There is also a few cameos including Dane Reynolds in the film.  If you were not one of the lucky folks in attendance last Thursday night, you missed a killer party!  Look for the film which is set to release later next month on Surfline.
