The surfing world is a colorful one with no lack of multi-layered stories to tell. But there has never been one about long-haired godfather-type Italian with a Rhode Island accent – not quite Boston but definitely not New York – over a backdrop of snow-covered cliffs, gritty skate spots, Irish neighborhoods and pumping right-hand points.
Like 73-year-old Sid Abbruzzi, aka The Package himself, this story is one of a kind. Abbruzzi is the tattooed anti-hero who propelled New England’s singlefin movement, pioneered Northeast skating, challenged surf restrictions and fronted a band, while bringing together a community around his Newport surf/skate shop for five decades. He pushed limits and livers.
