Will Skudin is a world renowned big wave surfer. If you don't know what that means, to simplify it Will rides waves taller than apartment buildings that move faster than you drive through your neighborhood. “You see a pool, I see a horse” is how Will described the ocean. The mindset that goes into what Will does is incredible. In this interview we talk about falling off of a wave and not knowing if he was going to survive as he lost feeling in his arms and legs, starting the largest surf camp in the northeast, and having the patience to wait 8 hours to catch three waves on a great training day. We also discuss culture and what it's like to consistently be a guest in someone else's ocean. This conversation got deep, no pun intended. You should give this episode a listen when you can really let yourself relax and take it in.

Today we have big wave surfer Will Skudin on the line to talk about geting the bid for a full time spot on the Big Wave World Tour this year. We talk to him about growing up as an east coast surfer on the big wave world stage and how his background in swimming helped prepare him for the mental toughness required for huge surf. Will is an awesome guy. I had the pleasure of sitting down with him and his girlfriend, Jen, last month while we were in Puerto Rico, and was really impressed with how modest and approachable he seemed considering the heroics of what he does for a living. I guess I assumed that big wave surfers were full of insane energy and adrenalin 24/7 and maybe some are, but not in this case. Will has a very calming way about him - anxiety doesn't seem like a word he's familiar with. When 40 foot walls of water pick you out of the line up to march toward, you have to be cool headed enough to hold your ground and trust your positioning versus paddling like mad for the horizon. That's what separates big wave surfers from the rest of us. We're looking forward to following Will's season this year as the first waiting period kicks of late next month. He's a testament to hard work, determination, and dedication and I can't wait to see it all unfold on the big wave world stage in 2017 Enjoy the show.
