Butchie Yost

Butchie Yost

Much like his father, Butchie rocketed to stardom, only to promptly leave his glory days behind him. The same rebellious image that bought Butchie fame on the circuit - and lined the pockets of his agent, Linc Stark - eventually landed the surfing icon at the bottom of the heap. Now squatting at the Snug Harbor Motel and feeding a smack addiction, Butchie has little to show for his gifts besides a faded poster on the wall and a talented son named Shaun.
