Chuck Patterson may not be a household name but if you’re into extreme sports that happen in massive surf, big mountains, or howling wind, there’s a very good chance you know exactly who he is. And if you don’t know him… you want to.

Chuck is also known for his huge smile and infectious positivity. He possesses the unmistakable energy of someone who’s not only incredibly accomplished, but genuinely stoked to be doing what he loves. He is an all-around rad human.

There are very few people on the planet with Chuck’s level of extreme, multi-sport mastery. Who else has earned major brand sponsorships, magazine covers, film roles, and massive accolades across surf, snow, and wind? There are only a handful.

Chuck shares the story of how his family helped shape his path, how surrounding himself with the right people opened doors, and how he repeatedly found himself at the right place at the right time—early windsurfing, the emergence of tow-in surfing on the world stage, the beginnings of snowboarding and stand-up paddling, and the early days of foiling.

Across every one of these disciplines, Chuck didn’t just participate—he got in early, leaned in with passion and drive, and mastered them at the highest level.

And he’s not done yet.
