Quest Soliman has become a staple in NY surfing over the last few years. I’ve rarely seen someone who has started surfing so late in life, take to surfing the way he has. He’s been ripping the beaches of Rockaway but has also made a huge impact on the community and is giving back in so many ways. Whether it’s organizing events for surfers young and old, fundraising for great causes or just inspiring the next generation, Quest has solidified himself a spot in the lineup.

His travel exploits with his sometimes cohort Paul Godette under the label Stop Playin With Em, is the classic surfing hero's journey archetype. It’s a comforting reminder to us older crew that the more things change, the more they stay the same in all the good ways. Like Hynson and August, Knaughton and Peterson, & Turner and Potter. Soliman and Godette are just the next generation of explorers.
