Skip Frye

Today on The Still Point Tapes we are with Skip Frye, one of surfing’s most quietly influential figures. Known not just for his graceful, flowing style in the water, Skip is also a master surfboard shaper whose designs have guided generations of surfers. He has always approached surfing with humility, almost as a meditation, connecting rider, board, and wave in a single rhythm. In this conversation, Skip reflects on the deeper side of surfing: the energy of the ocean, music, salsa, and how a lifetime spent gliding across waves can shape the way one moves through life.
