U.S. Surfer Fisherman Heads to Sardinia | Virginia Beach News

Shannon Ferguson, a Virginia Beach surf fisherman who switched from boat fishing because of seasickness, is about to make history—heading to Sardinia this November as one of six Americans chosen for the inaugural U.S. team in the FIPS World Shore Angling Seniors Championship, the sport’s Olympic-style global showdown. After crafting a fishing-specific resume and training weekly with East Coast teammates, Ferguson is preparing for his first international trip, even studying Sardinia via YouTube. Known locally for solo expeditions on an e-bike, he’s got his sights set on glory—and his wife’s jokingly calls it his “other woman.” This marks a historic moment for American surf fishing on the world stage.
