Surfing ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, unless you actively decide to see it that way. 

There are mediocre days in the water, there are bad days, and there are really shit days. Sometimes the waves are fantastic but for reasons x, y, and z, you don’t even get one. 

Those are the worst days. 

But Noah Waggy doesn’t have worst days. He doesn’t even have bad or mediocre days. To Noah, every surf is a chance to paint a portrait, melt into nature, and meditate to nirvana. For that reason, Noah is probably a much better and happier person than all of us. 

It also doesn’t hurt that he’s tall, dark, and handsome, with a mop so gloriously cascading it rivals the falls of Niagra. Learn more about Santa Cruz’s golden child (sorry Nat) in the Morgan Maassen x O’Neill joint playing above.
