Why surf 50 states?

I love surfing very much. I love surfing in places where people say there is no surf. I surfed in Cuba, on Lake Michigan, and after my dad passed, an idea was born. I knew there was a 2008 documentary of two Aussies attempting to surf 50 states but it wasn’t what I consider surfing. While doing research, I found Ben Gravy’s youtube vlog and really got inspired. I was about 5 states in but his videos really opened the door for me. 

The “why” is simple, I love to surf, I love to explore, and my dad provided me with the inspiration to take this journey.
