Ara Suhadolnik is a San Diego native with roots in the PNW; and as the youngest of 5 brothers in a surf dominated household, he aptly represents the term, Surf & Sport. Holding it down as the Swiss Army Knife for CKTH and the XIIIG Team, Ara bombs critical inclines at Mammoth and Blacks Beach alike. Scoring powder and chasing swell, he embodies the phrase, Opportuno et Loco et Tempore: Latin for “right place right time.” Ara is an alumni of Torrey Pines High School – where we was the varsity captain and an All-American in lacrosse.
