Chuck Patterson is a former pro Freeskier who has now morphed himself into a surferskier, waveskier…eh something like that.
After a brief experiment with skiing on waves several years ago, Chuck's passion for the idea was re-lit after watching Mike Douglas and Cody Townsend ski the waves of Maui in 2009.
In January 2011, Chuck followed the biggest swell of the year to Maui, to see if he could see if he could successfully ski Pe'ahi or 'Jaws' -- one of the most powerful waves on earth.
