Todd began ocean surfing 40 years ago but was only introduced to wakesurfing in early 2017. 6 weeks later he bought a boat and has loved it ever since! He started competing 2 years ago and has reached podium on almost every event he has entered. Aside from Wake Outfitters, he also rides for Erie Wake and had the honor of having a custom model designed after him. His accomplishments this year alone have been more than he thought possible!
He and his fiancée Tina have 7 kids between the ages of 4 to 27 years old. All have experienced wakesurfing (except for Tina, she drives so Todd has plenty of surf time 😁). For the upcoming surf season, they are super excited that 2 of their daughters (Sage 16 and Lily 11) have aspired to compete and teach others! Todd and his family have also opened a wakesurf excursion business. If you are ever in Florida and want lessons or just to get out and surf, look them up at @flwakeadventures. Todd says “They plan to spread the word, teach and Pass the Handle to all!”.
