Kiptyn Kip Locke before The Bachelorette

It was clear that Kiptyn loved surfing from his promotional video at the beginning of ABC's hit reality show The Bachelorette where we see him easily taking a big wave, but what else do we know about Kiptyn? Well, I did some digging around on the internet today and found out some interesting stuff which I'd like to share with you.

Kiptyn from The Bachelorette is more popularly known in Surfing circles as "Kip" Locke, as he said "my friends call me Kip". He is one of the directors of Switchfoot Bro Am, a Surfing event held annually that is promoted by the band Switchfoot. He is involved in a company called "Scalex" having to do with measuring tools.

From what I can gather Kiptyn Locke and the founders of the "Christian Punk" band Switchfoot have been friends and surfing buddies since they were kids, and with Kip's business accumen they wanted him to head up their successful Bro Am event. Being involved in such a large event on a large stage as this it is interesting that no other site has made this connection.

Here is Kiptyn with a "friend", possibly one of those girls whose heart he broke?

Apparently he is also a bit of a philanthropist as this picture is taken from a benefit for the California Surf Museum where Harney Sushi teamed up with major brands to help out the museum.

Kiptyn also attended U Cal Santa Barbara from 1996-2000
