Surf's up for snowboard champ Shaun White, he buys a $3.85m beach home in Encinitas California

Local Athlete Shaun White makes good and purchases in his local hood.

He was the first athlete to compete and medal in both the summer and winter X Games for his snowboarding and skateboarding skills in 2003.

And now it appears that Shaun White is ready to focus on developing his surfing skills, having just dropped $3.85 million on a beach home in Encinitas, California.

The 26-year-old Olympian even spent his Thanksgiving boning up on his surf-riding technique at his new 3,500-square-foot crib, which was all captured on video for GoPro.
According to tmz the two-time Olympic gold medalist's new digs include three bedrooms, three baths, and literally has a private staircase leading to the beach and Pacific Ocean.
Shaun even managed to negotiate $400,000 off the beach-front abode's initial $4.25 million price tag.
