The 23rd annual Tommy Tant Memorial Surf Classic (https://www.instagram.com/tommytant/) in Flagler Beach, FL just wrapped! It’s easily one of the longest-running, community surf contests in Florida with a greater purpose.
In this raw and real episode, host Mark Sawyer-Chu sits down with former pro surfer, speaker, and brother in Christ, Will Tant, at his new home in Flagler Beach. Together, they reflect on Will’s powerful journey from the rebellious currents of surf culture to the steady anchor of faith in Jesus.
Will opens up about growing up in the tight-knit surf town of Flagler, the deep bond he shared with his brother Tommy, and the devastating loss that turned his world upside down. He candidly shares how grief led him to wrestle with God, eventually finding peace—not through perfection but through grace and community.
From his early surf film days to giving up the sport he loved, being diagnosed with a heart condition, and slowly returning to both surfing and faith, Will’s story is raw, real, and redemptive. This episode is a moving testimony to the power of Christian community, the importance of belonging, and the unwavering hope found in Christ—even in the darkest waves.
