L8night with Choccy

Our guest this week is a former Professional Surfer, Professional Tournament Angler, and Surf broadcaster/commentator. He first made his mark in the surfing world with a highly respected seven-year pro career, earning four event wins along the way.

Following his competitive career, he spent more than a decade with his main sponsor, Quiksilver, working his way up through team and marketing roles to become Marketing Director. Many fans also recognize his familiar face and voice as a broadcast personality for the World Surf League.

When he’s not traveling to surf contests, he’s competing at the highest level in professional fishing and stacking accomplishments just as impressive as his surf career. His accolades include 2022 Angler of the Year, 17 Top-10 finishes, 5 tournament wins, an MLF Cup appearance, and the 2015 National Championship.

We’re pumped to hear his incredible story and talk about his business for private guided fishing experiences.  We welcome to the show Mr. Todd “Kliney” Kline.

Our guest this week is a second time repeat because he has been kicking ass lately, dropping some insane viral clips and racking up some trophies along the way!  This young buck has a few WQS wins under his belt, but recently just won The Bonsoy Asia Super Series. We are pumped to hear about it all, he over 700 day surf streak, and what he has lined up for 2026 and beyond. We welcome Kei “K-CHAN“ Kobayashi.

Our guest this week is a Surfer, Snowboarder, Moto-Head, and sometimes a model. But we’re not here to talk about his athleticism, his good looks, or his style. He’s a self-made man who paid his dues as a Hollywood movie set builder before becoming an entrepreneur and successful businessman. He made his mark designing and fabricating retail stores, trade-show exhibits, and custom retail fixtures through his full-service design firm, Studio Concepts. Their success came from partnering with major brands across multiple industries, and after more than 20+ years, he and his business partner sold the company.

His next venture put him at the forefront of California’s move toward legalized marijuana agriculture. He purchased a multi-acre farm, secured a rare and highly limited state grow permit, and now supplies wholesale product to the industry—including consumer direct line of products called “HITS”.

Most recently, his passion for design has resurfaced through his housing design and remodeling company, TRB Triumph Royal Builders.

We’re stoked to sit down with our good friend and welcome to the show Mr. Craig “BO” Bouman.

We had a great time at the HSS Surf Demo Day.

Our guest this week is a Surfer and entrepreneur who got tired of sneakers that couldn’t keep up with his active beach lifestyle. So he built one that could you can rinse clean, dry fast, and take anywhere. Sand, sweat, salt water…no problem, just rinse and repeat. His brand even features a trademarked CDNCEcore Tech midsole, engineered to absorb shock, rebound energy, and keep every step smoother and more aligned. We’re fired up to talk about CDNCE Shoes and the man behind the brand, Mr. Mike “MENTAL TERRORIST“ Miner. 

Our guest this week is a true industry veteran with nearly 40 years in the surf world under his belt. He got his first industry gig in high school managing the Carl Hayward Surfboards Shop. Later, he went on to holding key sales roles with some of the biggest names in the game, including Dragon Alliance, Trac-Top, Sims Snowboards, Counter Culture, Nixon, and Reef. But there’s one brand he’s stuck with through thick and thin, where his experience has spanned from sales to design director. He’s truly an expert when it comes to wetsuits. We’re stoked to hear about his incredible journey and long-standing tenure at the core heritage brand, Xcel Wetsuits.Please welcome to the show, Mr. Lance “LV” Varon!

This week’s guest is true Hawaiian Surf Royalty . One of the most recognizable Surfers both in and out of the water. He broke nearly every amateur NSSA record, spent over a decade on the World Tour, and took the crown at the Backdoor Shootout. You’ve seen him light up the big screen in Saving Sarah Marshall, and absolutely tear it up on his signature “Catch Surf” boards and boogies, bringing pure stoke to the world through Beefs T.V. Always ahead of the curve, he was early on the wave pool movement, which led him to co-found the Palm Springs Surf Club. We’re fired up to welcome the one and only Kalani "KOOLANI" Robb!!  

We sat down with Blaze Roche and Dfernado Zaremba and talked about their first Surf Film, MENTAL.

Our guest this week is a true Bad Ass from the golden era of Surf. A powerhouse pro from the 80’s known for his aggressive style, raw strength, and undeniable presence in and out of the water. His fierce approach and intensity earned him not one, but two iconic nicknames: “BAM BAM” and “THE TERMINATOR ”!!??

He once famously told an opponent in a pre-heat interview, “I’m going to terminate you,” and he had the talent to back it up. He dominated the PSAA circuit and claimed the 1985 Championship Title.

We’re stoked to welcome to the show, John “BAM BAM” “THE TERMINATOR ” Parmenter!
