  • Jason "Ratboy" Collins is an aerial surfer who graduated from Santa Cruz High School. Collin is one of the original nonconformists. He was able to take what Christian Fletcher did before him and dominate the air surfing world in the mid ninties. Ratboy took the air surfing community on its back and progressed it to the next level using creativity and style. Double grabs, reverses, three-sixty airs and an entire gambit of technicalities that up to this point didn't exist. He landed a backside 360 at the air three sixty at the O'neill Cold Water Classic, when other competitors were doing top turns and roundo's thinking they were ripping. By landing that air, Ratboy redefined his persona in the surfing world. From that point forward his status grew. He dominated air shows, graced magazine covers and has his pro model boards, which resulted in Jason becoming one of the most popular surfers ever to come out of Santa Cruz. In 2001, Ratboy competed in and won numerous events on the Vans Air Show series eventually taking the overall crown. Labeling Ratboy as just another "air guy" in a complete understatement. He is a complete well rounded surfer, who can throw down carves and ride in the barrel as good as anyone. Ratboy's surfing is perhaps more sharp now than ever because of his experience. Presently residing in Santa Cruz, he does not show any signs of slowing down... Image:Ratboy quicksilver contest. jpg| Image:Jason "Ratboy" Collins air. jpg|
