A fountain of Aloha Spirit and boundless enthusiasm, CKTH Ambassador and XIIIG Team Rider, John Philbin, is a longtime friend of the program. He is also the inspiration for XIIIG's Holiday 2024 photo campaign — channeling his timeless role as Nathanial: one of the infamous “Ex-Presidents” from the original Point Break (shout out Patrick Swayze and #johnnyutahlives). John is globally recognized for his acting: including work in renowned cult classics such as Children of the Corn, Return of the Living Dead and Tombstone. A graduate of USC and former member of UCSB's Gaucho Surf Team, when John isn't creating, he can be found in the ocean or on his bike. Big love and respect to John for his enduring sincerity, friendship and energy.
Cheers to Chris Grippo. Aka The Roman Viking. Aka the individual behind his timeless "Captain's Log" video series. Aka The Head of New Hampshire's Surfrider Foundation Chapter. Aka one of the Granite State's Finest
