AMBASSADOR FEATURE | Nate Floyd Meet nate_floyd. Surfer, photographer, and co-owner of windandwavewatersports. If you’ve ever found yourself down on the Texas coast in Corpus Christi, chances are you’ve heard of this legendary surf shop. The Floyd family has been outfitting the Texas Coastal Bend for nearly 40 years with some of the best gear you can get your hands on. His father Frank opened the doors in the summer of 1987, and Nate grew up right in the middle of it. After following the swell from California to Kauai, he eventually found his way back to the Lone Star State to help carry the family legacy forward. The store is home to the largest surfboard inventory in South Texas, a tight-knit local customer base, and of course the shop dog Mana. If you find yourself down on the Texas coast, stop in and shop local. #LiveFree
