Sonny Garcia, 38, is out from under house arrest, back on the hunt for a spot on the WCT Tour and getting married for the third time, according to a story in the LA Times.
Before I went to prison, I made a pact with myself that I would try my hardest to get back on tour and retire on my own note,” he said. “To be back, traveling, hanging with my friends, doing what I love to do, is such a relief.” . . . When I went to prison, I lost all my sponsors,” he said. “I’ve got some new sponsors that are really good and they’re not putting any kind of pressure on me to requalify, or even do the tour, for that matter. They really don’t even care, they just want me to go out and surf and have fun.”
After he surfs in the round of 96 at the Go211.com US Open of Surfing he’s “scheduled to marry Colleen McCullough in Laguna Beach.”
Sounds like a big week for Sonny. We wish him the best. It’s not going to be easy.
