WANGDU HOVEY |

Tide enjoys being a soul surfer which enables him to travel and surf freely as well as engage in his growing real estate practice.

Born and raised in Hawai'I Wangdu started surfing at an early age. For the first time, he rode on the front of his uncles’ longboard at Kaimu in Kalapana, Hawai'i, a famous surfing spot that was devastated by Lava in the 80's. Moving to Maui shortly after, Wangdu polished his style at Ho'okipa, and graduated to the world class reefs of Maui's North Shore. Steaming around the world for 4 years in the Coast Guard learning about rescue and survival was one of his most memorable experiences. Now at age 30, Wangdu has surfed the globe from Europe to Bali, and enjoys passing on the "stoke" to new surfers. |
