He was an early advocate and leader in Surf and Skate scene which led to the legalizing of surfing at many local breaks as well as saving one of the East Coast’s premier big-wave, Ruggles, from harbor Developers. In 1971, he opened Waterbrothers Surfshop and also created Surf Fest, a mid-Summer Extravaganza day of enjoying classic surfboards and skateboards, which is said to be the largest expo of its kind in the country. This Cultural Icon is being celebrated in a New Documentary “Water Brother” and we are pumped to sit down with the “Godfather” of Rhode Island surfing, Sid “THE PACKAGE” Abbruzzi.
