Hans Hagen is a professional free surfer and proud father of two, living with his family in Laguna Beach, California. A former competitive surfer, Hans now prefers nature's clock to timed man-on-man heats, and is thankful to all his sponsors for allowing him the freedom to roam. He is also a film producer, freelance writer, and part owner of JEN (Just Everything Nice) Optics, a surf/skate/snow inspired eyewear brand.

An avid nature lover, Hans has teamed up with Save The Waves Coalition to help promote environmental awareness around our increasingly threatened oceans and coastlines around the world.
