July 04, 2023 Riptide Podcast - Lukes Lounge - Ep41 Josh Nabbe
As the podcast hits the one year milestone we welcome on Joshua Nabbe, one hell of a man mountain residing in the wave rich zone of Shellharbour.
This core boog creature literally wakes up every day and breathes in the boog scene like it’s his first ciggie in the morning, well before dropping off the kids in the bowl.
Riding for NMD, possessing an aesthetically pleasing backflip and performing regular before work ice baths at the local ocean baths pretty much rounds this boog lord out.
He’s recently dropped an URBN surf wave pool edit and there’s big things in store for this power player who really demonstrates the froth for the boog.
Enjoy the convo 🙏
