As one of the leading players in the revival of paddle-in surfing in giant conditions, Kohl Christensen spends much of his time tracking swells and testing new board designs at some of the most dangerous waves on the planet. An erudite and well-read man with a keenly unique perspective, he explores the world as Hunter Thompson may have, had he surfed. Kohl has lived all over the world, including a year in Easter Island, the remote island off the coast of Chile. When it’s flat, he installs solar energy systems and tends his off-the-grid farm on the North Shore of O’ahu.
