When Ricky Carroll was 12 years old he was getting tired of waiting for his older brother to finish surfing so he could use the $10 surfboard thier mother had bought them at a garage sale. So, when he saw his friend and neighbor, Mary Ann Hayes, shaping a surfboard in her garage he decided then to make his own surfboard. He hasn't stopped since.

Ricky is probably most known for his versatility and vast knowledge of everything from kneeboards to noseriders to big wave guns to high performance shortboards and everything in between. R.C. still manages to make his yearly pilgramage to surfings mecca, the North Shore to keep his wits sharp but, this hasn't spoiled his taste for Florida juice though.
