      Chris joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints after moving to California as a teenager. His strong faith in Christ has always kept him grounded. His family has always come first!

    We have 3 Chris Ruddy’s in the family. My dad has a 9’0” shovel-tail drifter. My GF has an 8’6” mini drifter and a 9’2” Ukulele Shoveltail Drifter she got in Highschool some 15 years ago. They work well in South Texas Beach Breaks!
