Our guest this week when not traveling and scoring waves, splits his time

between his home in New York and Winters on the Northshore. He is one of the

most creative aerialists out there as well as a hard charging barrel riding

extraordinaire. His talents were discovered at a young age by Quiksilver during a

summer surf camp and having early success on winning numerous amateur

contests and air shows. It was to no surprise that Quik would invest and send him

to Australia to train with legendary surf trainer “Mick Cain”. Results from training

hard and pure talent… he won the wildcard to compete at home in the 2011

Quiksilver Pro New York. With years of traveling and paying his dues in heavy

hollow waves in places like Mainland Mexico, Tahiti, Fiji, and winters in Hawaii,

he eventually made a name for himself in lineup at The Banzai Pipeline. You’ve

seen him on Youtube, or one of his films “Stacked" or "Hail Mary”, or maybe on Stab

Highway California and definitely on the podium winning the 2022 Van’s Pipe

Master, we welcome Balaram “BAL“ Stack.

Our guest this week is a Surfer that relocated to Maui at an early age to live the Surfer’s Life in Paradise.  Surfing all day and working in restaurants and retail to make ends meet.  He got a job at Hobie and was very fortunate to have Dick Metz as a mentor and quickly climbed the ladder from part-time to running and buying for all Hobie Surf Shops at the young age of 23.  He is also a restauranteur with over 4 Decades at Duke’s as GM and Managing partner.  From Maui, to Malibu, to Huntington Beach, he has been a fixture at Huntington Beach serving up Aloha and great Hawaiian food and drinks to all those that walk through the door for the last 25 years.  Duke’s has been a staple and cornerstone restaurant in Surf community as a sponsor, supporter for local Surf Contests, Fundraisers, and specialty events.  Now he is taking all his knowledge down to Surf City El Salvador to launch a restaurant and help manage their tourism/hospitality division.  We welcome the amazing talented Mr. Brett Barnes.

He worked his way up from managing athletes and Surf Teams to overseeing multi-million-dollar marketing budgets and executing major global Surf events as Volcom’s VP of Global Surf Marketing. His impact with brand storytelling aligning marketing and products is why Volcom stayed at the Top of the game for so long! 

We’re stoked to sit down and welcome to the show Mr. Brad Dougherty.

Our guest this week is former Pro Surfer and Rip Curl Team Manager.  Currently, he is a highly respected Surf coach, working with some of the most exciting talent in the water today.

He’s helping shape the next generation of World Tour hopefuls and maybe even an Olympian. With a deep understanding of high-pressure heats and what it takes to qualify, he’s the guy in the corner when it counts most. We’re fired up to dive into the mindset, strategy, and journey of his athletes. Please welcome to the show, Mr. Matt Myers “Myers Surf Mentorship”!

Our guest this week is another hardcore Huntington Beach OG. A former pro snowboarder turned entrepreneur, he's had an impressive run across multiple industries over the past 20 years. From working as a physical therapist to repping for O’Neill Snow, his hustle never stopped. In 2004, after his cousin Brandon McGuinness (RIP) was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, he co-founded the F C Cancer Foundation—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on early detection and prevention. As Executive Director and CEO, he’s dedicated his life to pushing the Foundation’s mission forward. We’re stoked to hear about his journey, the legacy he's building, and the future he’s shaping. Please welcome to the show, Mr. John "MUGS" McGuinness.

We sat down with the Billabong Surfers-Josie Prendergast, Shion Crawford, and Eithan Osborne. Thanks to Dane Jefferys, Keanu Asing, and Boardriders Cafe!!

Our guest this week is a legendary surf filmmaker. He’s been instrumental in launching and elevating countless pro surf careers, not just through his iconic SNAPT film franchise, but also as an agent, manager, life coach, therapist, and even bankroller. One of the most unselfish humans we know, he once helped raise money for a prosthetic leg for Costa Rican ripper Daniel Meléndez Dávila.

The last few years have been incredibly challenging for him, with a heavy load of family trauma and, on top of that, being robbed of $150,000 by a professional theft ring, which he courageously helped expose and bring to justice.

Yet somehow, through all the adversity, he persevered and delivered what might be his most anticipated film yet. We’re honored to welcome to the show the man behind the SNAPT surf film, Mr. Logan “CHUCKY” Dulien.

Our guest this week is an OG HB ripper who’s not only carved waves but completely transformed his life. About nine years ago, he made the powerful decision to go sober. A choice that turned everything around for the better. Since then, he’s dedicated himself to becoming the best version of himself, as a husband, father, friend, mentor, and coach. Fast forward to today, with nearly 10,000 hours spent pumping iron in the gym, he’s become a standout Personal Coach and Social Media Influencer, rising to the top in the competitive world of fitness and nutrition. His content is packed with practical, real-life advice on diet, workout routines, cooking, and living life to the fullest. But his journey doesn’t stop there. Alongside his wife Haelie, he co-founded “Thank You Collective,” a brand rooted in their shared passion for art, fashion, and design, all with a focus on spreading positivity and gratitude.

We’re stoked to welcome to the show one of the most ripped dudes we know in Surfing , the inspirational, unstoppable, James “BIG DOG” Queen.
