XTRATUF PARTNERS WITH ATLANTIC PARK SURF AS AN OFFICIAL CORPORATE PARTNER
August 27, 2025
Nelsonville, OH – (August 27, 2025) – XTRATUF, leader in waterproof boots and shoes inspired by the rugged and always-evolving needs of the Alaskan fishing community, partners with Atlantic Park Surf, Virginia Beach’s Premier Surf Destination, as the official footwear provider. XTRATUF, born from the always evolving waters of commercial and sport fishing, continues to expand its presence into on and off shore activities, including surfing.
“XTRATUF is built for those who push their limits, whether commercial fishing or in pursuit of monster waves,” said Zach Castagnola, marketing manager at XTRATUF. “We have created a nice connection to the surf industry through our partnership with big wave surfer and 100-foot wave star Andrew Cotton (Cotty), and Atlantic Park Surf will allow us to amplify this connection. We are honored to be a part of the first east coast wave park!”
Through the partnership, XTRATUF will outfit all Atlantic Park Surf employees with boots and slides. When it opens to the public later this summer, Atlantic Park Surf will be the first Wavegarden Cove Surf Lagoon in North America, offering an unparalleled surfing experience in the heart of the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Virginia Beach is the heart of the East Coast surf culture and Atlantic Park Surf will be the region’s preeminent wave lagoon.
“Keeping our team comfortable and safe is a top priority, so we are proud to partner with XTRATUF,” said Bill Zazynski, Atlantic Park Surf’s general manager. “With the brand’s waterproof boots, Atlantic Park Surf staff will be able to put their best foot forward every day.”
