Timeline

1970

Vincent Sennen "Sunny" Garcia (born January 14, 1970) is an American professional surfer from Waianae, Hawaii.

Garcia was born Vincent Sennen Garcia on January 14, 1970, in Mā'ili, on the Westside of Oahu, Hawaii.

Garcia is of Puerto Rican and Hawaiian heritage from his father's side and Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Irish, and Native American heritage from his mother's side.

His nickname "Sunny" was given to him by his mother, due to his cheerful disposition as an infant.

Following his parents' divorce, Garcia lived with his mother near Mā'ili point, close to the beach.

1986

After leaving school he debuted on the 1986 Gotcha Pro at Sandy Beach, Oahu, beating the 1984 champ Tom Carroll.

Garcia was a dominant force in the Hawaiian Surfing Association starting as a 17-year-old on the 1986 WCT, beating former champion Tom Carroll and threatening to cause an upset to the top 16.

Despite this early promise he just failed to break into this elite group in his debut season.

1990

Garcia showed great consistency throughout the 1990s, finishing in the top ten every year and coming third four times.

1995

However, in 1995 it seemed that he might have reached the climax of his career.

Failing to win the Pipeline Masters to claim the title, Sunny ended up finishing third behind Kelly Slater and Rob Machado.

1996

With a host of talented young blood set to qualify for the 1996 Dream Tour and declining fitness levels, it seemed Garcia's era was over.

1999

Then, four years later, inspired by veteran Mark Occhilupo's shock 1999 WCT title, Garcia shed weight and moved to Kauai.

There he surfed with the progressive Irons brothers, Andy and Bruce, expanding his surfing repertoire.

2000

His top surfing achievement was becoming the ASP WCT World Champion in 2000.

Garcia also holds the record for most WQS event wins (22 wins) and holds six Triple Crown of Surfing titles.

In addition, he was the second professional surfer to win over $1 million in prize money.

In 2000, 14 years after his debut, Garcia achieved the ultimate surfing accolade, emphatically dominating the ASP WCT from the start of the campaign, winning the first two events in Australia and clinching the title in Brazil, the penultimate event.

On the way he also picked up a fifth Triple Crown in his native Hawaii.

2002

In 2002, he starred in North Shore: Boarding House, a reality TV show featuring 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 own custom shirt.

Garcia has 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.

2005

After initially retiring from the professional surfing circuit in 2005, Garcia began competing on the WQS again.

Some consolation came from his standout performance at the 'Quiksilver in memory of Eddie Aikau' big wave contest ("The Eddie"), in which he finished third.
