Big waves might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you envision the state of New York, but if you ask competitive surfer Will Skudin, these two worlds mesh seamlessly. He’s a Big Wave World Tour competitor and co-founder of two New-York based surfing programs — Skudin Surf and Surf for All — that invite folks of all abilities to jump on a surfboard and enjoy a fun, positive learning environment. Will and his family are great people, and we are proud to call him one of our own.
