When the snow melts, he turns to the ocean—spending the warmer months surfing and foiling along the coast. Most recently, Chris took on a strike mission to a powerful tidal surge in British Columbia, where he battled a wild river wave complete with a nonchalant whirlpool ready to suck you in if you fell. The experience pushed his limits in a whole new way and deepened his respect for the power of water.

After long days in harsh conditions—cold and warm wind, sun, snow, and rain - whether riding powder in the mountains or foiling over ocean swells—Chris always stashes some Bonemade balm to replenish his skin. He especially relies on it for his hands, which take a beating from cold, dry weather, and also uses it in his hair to help repair damage from dry air and saltwater.
