In this episode, I interview Parker Coffin (@parkercoffin), one of my favorite free surfers. He’s a goofy footer that shreds in big waves and small waves, and hucks crazy airs. Stab called him one of the best free surfers in the world. In this episode, Parker gives us insight into what makes his surfing so good, from how to surf with more power, tips to surfing backside, and how to get your bottom turn dialed. If you want to take your surfing to the next level, you’re not going to want to miss this episode.
