Today's guest is the star of Surfer Magazine's "Ultra Core Surf Hour" with Jon Wayne Freeman. Jon is a surfer, a father, a husband and a paramedic. Jon has just turned 40 and is blazing a new trail in life, foraging ahead in the vast unknown space, in an up and coming (Rebranded) genera known to the masses as "Surf Comedy". Yes, surfers have always had a sense of humor. They are natural joksters and pranksters...doing comedy skits as far back as the Endless Summer. Comedy has come a long way. The time before the Internet was a tuff place for an emerging artist with talent. You needed to be at the right place at the right time. You needed headshots, an agent and an agency to support your work. And thats all to get you 5 minutes on the "Tonight Show". Then came "Saturday Night Live"! This was a new emerging platform for Comedians and Sketch Groups to perform. With the success of "SNL", comedy clubs opened up all over the United States giving talented artists more outlets and a place to hone their craft. These day's...Its much easier than that. The sky is the limit and the "Gate Keepers" are gone. With the power of the Internet, The Phone and Instagram, an emerging and talented artist can put in the work them selves, and distribute the work them selves...to the masses....and in Jon's own word's "Let the people decide". And the people have decided! They absolutely love Jonathan and want more! They, we, us...cant get enough! It seems Jon has hit the nail on the head. Jon is a 40 year old surfer dad trying to balance his addiction for surf and everything else that comes with being a frothing father. He has seamlessly merged surf and comedy in a way that strikes a cord with the surf community. Weather he's bragging about being a North San Diego "Mid- Length-er" or being hassled by his ripping surfer wife...Jon always keeps it light and fun. For silly giggles though out the day, you must fallow Jonathan Wayne Freeman on Instagram. We Met up in the parking lot in Oceanside Harbor on a glorious Southern California beach day. Please join me for my conversation with the very funny and talented...Mr. Jon Wayne Freeman.
