The Surfing Flea

EDIT: Learn from my mistakes, people, and don't assume that your favorite band's bassist is a big wave surfer.  Rohan Little, an Australian friend of mine pointed out to me that Flea in the Chili Peppers (Michael Peter Balzary), though he does surf, is not the same Flea who surfs Mavericks.  In fact, they're quite different.  Here is a photo of the Flea (Darryl Virostko) who actually surfs Mavericks (I am leaving this post intact as a show of humility):

More to come on Darryl Flea Virostko later...

Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a notorious big wave surfer.  Most famously, he surfs Mavericks when it's huge, but he also spends a lot of time surfing breaks in Santa Cruz and Big Sur.  When Flea isn't surfing, he plays bass for my favorite band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  After seeing the Chili Peppers live, my admiration for Flea only increased.

Enjoy these photos of the multi-talented Flea...
