Introducing our newest Hurley Slider

Erin Ashley wishes she would have learned a different instrument. "Learning the saxophone pretty much limits me to jazz or ska. And I've done both," she says. But right now, she's the chief horn-blower for the up-and-coming band Go Go 13. "We're playing Warped Tour this year," says the 27-year-old from Long Beach. "Better late than never."

Erin rides a 9'6" double-step deck single-fin shaped by Dano. She enjoys surfing Blackies in Newport because everyone keeps an open mind there. Erin -- also known as "Worm" -- also frequents spots like Malibu when she's in the mood. "I like to roam," she says.

Erin recently spent the day with talented photographer Justin Jay. "Blackies was bad, so we went to Seal," says Erin. Justin -- who's photographed some of the best in the music biz in their most intimate moments -- captured a few gems both in and out of the water.

Erin Ashley is the newest Hurley Slider. She's nice, drives an old car, thinks for herself and can hang on the nose way longer than you. She also plays saxophone, but wishes she would have learned a different instrument. --es
