Chip "Chipper Bro" Bell Highlight
Zen and the life of Chipper Bro is a freestyle.
About Chip “Chipper Bro”
- I was born in Hollywood and raised in Santa Barbara, California.
- I spent a lot of my childhood surfing.
- I started playing Freestyle Frisbee with my friends and went to my first tournament in 1980—I set a goal to someday be on the finalist field.
- Whenever the surf was flat, I’d work on my Frisbee skills.
- In 1982 my Frisbee team and I were crowned world champions—afterward, we were able to secure sponsors and tour all over the world.
- After finishing a ten-year tour with the Pro Freestyle circuit, I began looking for a steady job with benefits because my wife and I were starting a family.
- Patagonia was hiring, so I applied and landed a job with the company as a cultural ambassador.
- In addition to working at the front desk for Patagonia, I also teach kids and adults how to surf through my business surfclass.com.
