JOE GRAHAM

INSTRUCTOR

Montauk Local. 

Rooted in Montauk, Joe calls the trailer park at Ditch Plains home—a place where the ocean sets the rhythm of everyday life. A commercial fisherman by trade, he works aboard the local tilefish boat Kimberley, spending long days offshore in pursuit of his catch.

When the season winds down, he follows the water south, traveling the world in the winter months—often to Nicaragua—where surf, sea, and simplicity keep him grounded. A true waterman in every sense, his life is shaped by tides, hard work, and a deep respect for the ocean.
