TY & RYAN

Ryan McGill
Ryan McGill, co-founder of Summer Sessions Surf Shop began surfing when he was 10 years old in Rye. Since riding his bike in the middle of snowstorms to get some good New Hampshire winter surf, he has traveled the world searching for perfect waves. The winters have allowed him to fulfill some dreams of visiting surf destinations, enjoying new cultures and meeting great friends. Yet Ryan says, "It is hard to beat this surf community and the days when it is going off at the breaks you grew up at." Ryan graduated from Northeastern University with a BA in Finance. While interning at financial firms during college and running the surf shop in the summers, he gained good perspective on where his true interests lay. He says, "I have found where I want to be and what makes me happy...It's a pretty good feeling. There's nothing wrong with having surfing on your mind all the time."

Ryan's surf travels include:
Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, Mainland Mexico, Baja, Costa Rica, Panama, Tortola, Ecuador, Peru, Chile

Tyler McGill
Tyler McGill, co-founder of Summer Sessions Surf Shop, resides in Livefreeordie's Ville during the summer months and then escapes the cold during the winter. He has surfed through most of Central and South America in his two plus years spent south of the border, but ends up back home each spring to spend the summer in Rye at the shop. Tyler says, “Although I love being on the road, it is hard for me to imagine not being at home for the summer at the shop.” After graduating from Connecticut College, he spent a winter teaching snowboarding in Steamboat, CO, before deciding surf beats snow.
