Vincent Sennen “Sunny” Garcia is an American professional surfer. He grew up in Waianae, Hawaii, and after leaving school, debuted on the 1986 Gotcha Pro at Sandy Beach, Oahu, beating the 1984 champ Tom Carrol.
In 2002, he starred in North Shore: Boarding House, a reality TV show featuring co-habiting surfers living together. However, he generally chooses to steer clear of the North Shore hype, preferring to spend his time surfing alone or riding motocross. Garcia features in the Sunny Garcia Surfing video game. He also has a clothing deal with Affliction Clothing where the tattoos he has on his body have been replicated on his custom shirt.
Garcia has often volunteered for the charity Surfers Healing, a foundation for autism, which has included beach clean-up days held in Hawaii and along California’s coast. In 2011, Garcia hosted the Surfers for Cystic Fibrosis golf tournament fundraiser, organized by the charitable organization The Mauli Ola Foundation. Proceeds will fund surf experience days for cystic fibrosis sufferers.
