His top surfing achievement was becoming the ASP WCT World Champion in 2000.[2]Garcia also holds the record for most WQS event wins (22 wins)[3] and holds six Triple Crown of Surfing titles. In addition, he was the second professional surfer to win over $1 million in prize money.[3][4]
He initially retired in 2005 but returned to competition. In 2008, his hopes for ASP World Tour qualification were dashed with early elimination in the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing.
