Our guest this week was in the epicenter and a standout surfer during the years of Studio 54 AKA “ECHO BEACH”. Hanging with the right crew at the right time, alongside Danny "DK" Kwock, John "FIRM" Gothard, and Jeff Parker! These photogenic Surfers had a new approach wearing bright colors and custom wild prints, with matching air sprays on their boards! The sponsors loved it, the Photographers love it, and the Magazines loved it. This crew not only put Newport Beach on the Map, but also put Quiksilver at the forefront of the industry. Maybe it was all the magazine photos and covers shots our guest got as a Professional Surfer, or maybe it was another reason that he ended up working for Quiksilver! He also had a plethora of other industry jobs including Mossimo, Gotcha, and ASR, but eventually ended up in Media in both print and digital magazines for over 25 years. We are pumped to hear his story and welcome to the show, Mr. Preston “PM” Murray!
