Both on land and in the water Christopher "Chippa" Wilson is eye catching. Helping define his generation of free surfers with his technical aerial mastery. He will make a potent threat in X Games Real Surf.

Well versed in grabs and rotations, Chippa has the kind of talent that takes a bad day of surf and turns it into something special.

With an abundance of creativity Chippa can seemingly put himself anywhere he wants ... in the water or air.

Occassionally Chippa throws a turn to mix it up, but even then he's gravitationally challenged.

“I’m really stoked for the opportunity to compete against such an amazing group of surfers," says Chippa about his Real Surf outlook.

Can a free surfing freak with an aversion to conformity win X Games gold in Real Surf? Chippa makes a pretty good argument for it.

Hold on tight, here comes Chippa and the Real Surf crew. Things are about to get interesting this April.
