Danny Cruden grew up surfing in Satellite Beach, Florida studying the Hobgoods style and the positive example they have set.

From a surfing family, his travels have naturally taken him abroad through Central America, the Bahamas, Indonesia, New Zealand and finally Australia, where he lived for two years surfing and studying.

He currently lives half of the year in Florida finishing his studies and the other half in Nicaragua running Surfing With A Purpose , which shares hope through building relationships with the locals and aid work.
