Description
Noah Avallone is only 11 but is quickly becoming a major name in the competitive snowboard tour with talk of possible 2026 Olympic run. Mike, his father, works in finance, is a Snowboard Coach at United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association, and Noah number 1 supporter. We talk about what it's like to parent a rising star, and what it's like to free the high and lows of intense competition when you are only in 6th grade. Noah, who also surf in Montauk, is forced to answer Tyler's ride or surf challenge.
