A ripping competitive surfer from San Clemente, CA Steven’s been on the Stewart Team since age 17. He's traveled, surfed, and competed in Portugal, Spain, France, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Brazil, Bali, Subwana, South Africa, Taiwan, Hawaii, and Mexico.
He’s even surfed one of the most exclusive waves on the planet, The Qiantang tide bore known as the “Silver Dragon” in Hangzhou, China. The event was put on by Redbull and Wabsono and had 8 surfers total surfing the tidal wave for 3+ hours downriver. Talk about the experience of a lifetime!
After a decade on the team, Steven has become a standout in both national and international contests. Steven Newton has a powerful style of surfing, combining aggressive turns, fluid roundhouse cutbacks, and stylish nose riding.
