"Still Gonna Send It": From Pro Snowboarder to Adaptive Surfing World Tour

Chris Waker was one of those guys I heard legends about before we finally met. A lot of my friend group from college had grown up with him in Vermont and his name frequently popped up. As a professional snowboarder, he was a hammer on the mountain--whether in the park, pipe, or backcountry--and a great homie overall regardless of the setting. 

By the time we finally met and became friends in 2021, Waker suffered a tragic accident while snowboarding that left him without movement or sensation throughout 80% of his body.
