Nathan "The Hog" Hedge (born 28 May 1979, in Brisbane, Queensland) is a professional surfer raised on the Northern Sydney beach of Narrabeen.
His style is characterised by both power and precision, while his control inside a barrel bares his own personal mark of determination.
Hog qualified for the ASP World Tour in 2001, and quickly established himself as the unofficial spokesman for all things Australian.
After an inexplicable run of poor results in 2006, Hog was relegated to the World Qualifying Series (WQS).
The only plus being the award from ‘Surfer Magazine’ for best tube ride, a sickening left-hander which barrels beyond comprehension.
