A conversation with Ben "PROFESSOR" Soto_DOMETIC Nov 08, 2024

Show notes

Our guest this week has a laundry list of jobs and accomplishments. From graphic artist, Creative Director, and VP of Creativity, he has worked his way up the corporate ladder at some incredible companies, including Paul Frank, The Walt Disney Company, BRG Sports, and Igloo. He was Co-founder of C-Preme Limited, which flipped the helmet industry upside down with a brand called Raskullz! But as if that wasn’t already enough? He went into business again and disrupted the cooler industry with Yewww which was acquired by Igloo! He is still at the helm for the last 8 years as VP of Creative Services at Igloo / Dometic and yet somehow, he still finds time to teach a class at OCC. We welcome to the show Mr. Ben “PROFESSOR” Soto to the show!

A conversation with Ty "TY-BORG" Burgess Oct 25, 2024

Show notes

Our guest this week is a Young Pro Ripper from Newport. When he isn’t chasing swells or travelin he holds down a salesman position at one of the best shops in the world Surfside Sports! He is one of very few to pack some thick tubes out at Cylinders when it is pumping, resulting in a couple of concussions and a GoPro Wedge Entry Clip of the Year. Make sure to check his sick edit charging some Keggers at Nias in the IPD movie “Passport”. He is a humble cool kid, with tons of talent, and has some Grande Cojones. We welcome to the show Ty “TY-BORG“ Burgess.

A conversation with Surf West Coast Magazine Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

Our episode this week is about an awesome new print Magazine that is dedicated to all West Coast Surfing Activities. Yes, you heard right, a print magazine. We know print has been dead since social media and technology took over the World and Surfing just hasn’t been the same! Although “Free Surf” is still in print, there are also rumors that Surfer Mag is also making a comeback. So, we all know there is plenty of room and need to have a few successful magazines to preserve, document, and cover all that is happening in the world of Surfing. Well Volume 1, Number 3, is out now so go to your local Surf Shop to grab a copy! We are pumped to hear more about and help promote “Surf WC Mag” and we welcome George Salvador, Terry Carmadella, and Ricky Blake to the Show!

A conversation with Mateus "MATTY" Herdy Aug 23, 2024

Show notes

Our guest this week is an unbelievable Surfer out of Brazil, who has been a standout in the lineup for years, and he is only 23 years old. His aerial antics and powerful rail game is next level and having those 2 combinations make him a threat in any conditions. When Stab throws out the question- “Is Mateus Herdy A Julian Wilson Reincarnated” You know this kid is the real deal. He just missed out on qualifying for the WCT in a couple of back-to-back years, but that hasn’t stopped him from being in the spotlight. He is a World Junior Champion, finished 3rd in the CT Event in Mexico, and is a standout on Stab Magazine whether it is Stab High, Stab Highway California or Stab Edit of the Year entry. We welcome this next-level and highly creative Wizkid--Mateus “MATTY“ Herdy.
