My full name is Jeffrey Baldwin. My nick name is Baldy and pretty much the surfing world over calls me by it??
I’ve been married for 9 yrs to an amazing woman Krista who is 10 years younger than I and vastly more mature. I have 3 daughters Isabella 10, Analiese 8, and Malia Jolie 2 and my boy dog Samson 4.
I was born in Montclair New Jersey but moved to California at 3 months old. Lived in Dana Point until I was 3 then grew up on the sand in Del Mar ever since.
I spent my youth surfing and playing soccer. I was sponsored at the age of 16 by a young Bob Hurley who ran Billabong USA (before starting Hurley clothing) and thrown out into the world of surfing competition. I moved to Australia when I was 17 ½ chasing the dream of every photo I had ever seen of Rabbit, Cheyne Horan, Wayne Lynch or Occy… the list is long. After returning to the US I dove straight into the pro ranks and had some success which led to the rest of my life in surfing. I competed on the ASP world tour from 89′-93′ an incredible time in my life, traveling the world over and realizing who I was as a person.
I’m currently a Senior Sales Executive for Transworld Media, Surf, Skate & Snow. I’ve been working with TW since 2001 and loving every minute…what a company to be a part of!!!
My life revolves around the ocean and traveling. Be it ripping the guts out of good waves, paddling long distances on my 12″ Joe Bark, SUP sessions anywhere and everywhere or just adventuring beaches with my kids.
So thanks for listening to Down the Line radio and hope to see you soon
