'''Taj Burrow''' (born 2 June 1978) is an Australian professional [[surfing|surfer]] who, as of March 2014, is competing in the [[ASP World Tour]].<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Burrow was born in [[Yallingup]], [[Western Australia]], Australia to American parents and began surfing at age 7.<ref name=encyclopedia>{{cite book|last=Warshaw|first=Matt|title=The Encyclopedia of Surfing|year=2003|publisher=Harcourt|pages=94|url=http://books.google.co.nz/books?id=-DWQSYRx4MUC&pg=PA94&lpg=PA94&dq=burrow+surfing+hall+of+fame&source=bl&ots=UbeP5yTBDU&sig=rDX3109jfStt_A2dntGrYvlakso&hl=en&ei=LkM9TufWOILqgQfM9ID7Bw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=burrow%20surfing%20hall%20of%20fame&f=false}}</ref><br />

==Career==<br />
In 1998 he qualified for the ASP World Tour at 18-years-old, becoming the youngest surfer to do so at the time.<ref name=billabong>{{cite web|title=Team - Taj Burrow|url=http://us.billabong.com/womens/team/member/taj-burrow?id=2|website=Billabong US|publisher=Billabong International Ltd|accessdate=24 September 2013|date=September 2013}}</ref> Burrow had already earned a place on the world tour a year earlier, but he turned it down stating that, as a 17-year-old, he was "too young to do the tour full-on".<ref name=encyclopedia /><ref name=surfwithtaj>[http://www.surfpix.co.nz/surf-with-taj.php]</ref> After his first year on tour in 1998, Burrow claimed the ASP World Tour Rookie of the Year award after finishing 12th place in the rankings.<ref name=fuel>[http://www.fuel.tv/shows/castmember/taj-burrow/usopenofsurfing Fuel TV Profile]</ref><ref name="Asp" /><br />
