My guest this week is Pat Towersey, founder of Western Hydrodynamic Research. A California-based project fueled by a desire to merge surfing, functionality, and environmental responsibility.

Pat and I discuss the brand's origins, his life growing up surfing, getting sponsored at age 12, the golden era of skate and surf culture, being the guy who does things, and how the artist Tom Sachs helped him get WHR off the ground.
