My relationship with Banh Pho Surfboards and Crispy Noodle owner, Patrick Broemmel, started being introduced by a mutual friend. It has since developed into a partnership both through working together and sharing a love of the ocean. Patrick has been at the forefront of East Coast StandUp Paddling in not only participation, design and racing.
