Originally from Canada, Chad has since moved his surfing family to Texas where he has access to water all year. Wakesurfing has taken Chad and his family all over the world developing many lifelong friendships in the wake community. He is known for his knowledge of dialing-in the perfect wave having thousands of hours on countless different Centurion Boats. Chad, his wife Nicole, and son Evan have hosted surfers from all over the world at their lake house in Canada, Arizona or Texas. The Hudson family has organized many annual wake surf events and worked closely with many Centurion Boat dealers doing demo’s and community events. Lately Chad is building on his skills behind the boat by learning to wake foil. Off the water he is an Economist working as a professional Commodity Trader.
