All Things Surfing & Travel w/ Timmy Smith

Listen Later

How do your interests and hobbies inspire the way you travel and vise versa? 

When the founder of Arc Surfboards, Timmy Smith, embarked on his first solo surf trip to Asia in 2019, he had no idea that mixing his love for surfing and travel would inspire him to start his first business.

Today we explore what happens when travel puts your life on a totally new trajectory, the mindset that allowed Timmy to go "all-in" with his business, some of the best surf spots in the world, the best resources for travelers who love to surf, and so much more. 

Have you ever planned a trip surrounding a hobby or sport? I'd love to hear about your experience and hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
