Mike Fitzpatrick has been riding since 2011 and coaching since 2016—earning medals, mentoring champs, and hyping the next heat. A steady force in the Masters division, he’s more about building the sport than showboating. Mike’s crew-first mindset shows in his coaching, especially with Monica Caffrey, who’s landed multiple USA Tour wins and international silver. He builds confidence, not just runs—and he’s in it for the long game.
Michael Caffrey has been riding in style since 2011. A technician and tactician, he fine-tuned his form for over a decade—earning a 2024 Masters Flow Tour title. But his biggest impact may be behind the scenes. As coach to pro rider Monica Caffrey (his daughter), his influence shows up on global podiums. A quiet force in the sport’s growth, Michael’s legacy is built on clean lines, sharp insight, and years in the splash zone.
Monica Caffrey didn’t grow up near an ocean—but that didn’t stop her from becoming the top-ranked female flowboarder in the U.S. (and #2 in the world). Raised at Jay Peak, she brought a mountain-town edge to a water-born sport. Fast, fluid, and fearless, Monica’s more than a rider—she’s a mentor, a champion, and proof that big dreams don’t need big coastlines. With multiple USA Tour wins and international silver, she’s just getting started.
Michael Pappalardo rode his first wave in 2010 and hasn’t stopped building. In 2011, he launched Flow Dogs—now one of the sport’s most connected communities. He’s podiumed across tour stops, but his real impact: pushing talent, connecting people, and shaping how the sport grows—and who gets to ride.
Podium dreams, casual chaos, or pure curiosity—The Drop In delivers. It’s our first annual FlowRider throwdown, and everyone’s invited.
