In this weeks episode Ben Watts (aka GRILF) and Leon Paxton discuss their skateboarding journey, the importance of being part of a community, Ben's passion for spearfishing, his love for sharks, close encounters with Great White Sharks, having two seperate near death experiences in the same day, growing up in a rural town, skateboarding trick process and much more. A relaxed and friendly chat with moments of intensity in which we go on a tangent about the reality of death and considering how we might leave this world one day...which is fitting given its HALLOWEEN!
Happy Halloween. The dark and the light. The Yin and Yang.
