Our guest this week is another powerhouse Surfer out of San Clemente who’s absolutely been on a tear this 2026 season with two massive wins in Pismo and Barbados. He’s charging hard toward qualifying for the WCT alongside his sister Sawyer Lindblad, fellow SC standouts Cole Houshmand, and the Griffin Colapinto and Crosby Colapinto brothers. But when he’s not destroying heats in a competition jersey, he’s trading it in for boots, denim, and cowboy hats, training and competing in an entirely different world as a rugged Western Cowboy. His unique balance of ranch life and high-level Surfing is perfectly captured in the short film “Paradise Ranch”, showcasing his passion for the California coast and life on the ranch.  We’re fired up to sit down this week with Taj “Coastal Cowboy” aka “LINNY” Lindblad.
