Episode 125 - Barry Young, Surf Industry Icon Part 1

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Barry Young.

We are stoked to bring this one to you! We sat down with Baz over a couple of sessions at his home overlooking the bay in Yallingup. From his early days in South Australia, Baz has always had an affinity with the ocean and it's people. A love that continues to this very day.

Moving across the Nullabor, Baz became the first Licensee for both Rip Curl and Quiksilver in the West, taking on promising surfers and providing sponsorship and support. Sufers of the calibre of Dave Macaulay, Jake and Paul Paterson and of course, a young and quickly emerging grom named Taj Burrow.

From his unique position within the industry, Baz had a front row seat to the massive growth in surf culture in the late 80s and early 90s and gives us his exclusive take on the the whole scene. 

If you have never listened to Barrelled Surf Podcast, wrap your ears around this one, it's a fascinating chat.

Enjoy, Flegends!
