Zak was born on six acres in the Coast Range near Banks, Oregon. He developed his love for the outdoors during his childhood while exploring the endless streams, trails and peaks that the coast offers. Zak grew up skateboarding, working at summer camps, and was a wakeboarding camp instructor. He also competed in professional wakeboarding events. After graduating high school Zak moved to Terrebonne, OR to pursue rock climbing—he lived at Smith Rock and eventually worked at the climbing gear shop just outside the park. After three years in the desert, Zak began to miss the lush forests and coastal climate of home. He took a trip to Pacific City where he surfed for the first time and moved here just one month later. He couldn’t be happier with his decision—and now spends his free time surfing, skating ,and exploring the Oregon coast.
