Jerry Bess is a champion standup paddler from Kamuela, Hawaii. While only standup paddling for the last few years, Jerry’s upbringing in canoe paddling and surfing has made for a quick transition in to the sport as he quickly won the Molokai to Oahu paddleboard relay event with Michi Shweiger. When not SUPing, Jerry enjoys kitesurfing, short-board surfing and cross-training.

Jerry Bess chooses Hard Kore and Lewi as his sunglasses of choice for on and off the water.
