Hey, this is Ryan Edwards, I am an 18 year old senior attending high school at Hampton Roads Academy in Newport News, VA but have a house in the outer banks. Surfing is my one escape in life and has allowed me to grow into the person I am today, I have always been interested in the surfing business and have just recently started an organic surf wax company named: Booty Wax Co. But this summer I want to go even further and do something I have always wanted to do (work in shaping shop). I was wondering if any shop owners or anyone who knows anyone that would let me work at a shop (either in the outer banks or Virginia beach area), sweep floors, take out the trash, wipe the windows (all for free) in exchange for being able to live at the beach, work with some awesome dudes, and watch and learn how to shape surfboards. I am dedicated, hardworking, smart, love to surf, and have great work ethic. If you cannot take me on, don’t worry about it I know how it is, but if you can…you would be making a teenager’s dream come true. My email address is: 08redwar@hra.org
