Jon Wayne Freeman is a guy who has set a new boundary within the surf genre called "Surf Comedy".  To me this is what surfing and riding waves is about, FUN and not taking life so seriously, making the most of riding waves and enjoying the ocean to relive us of everyday life.  Jon has made something of his Instagram videos and posts to express this and we can all identify with him.  Jon talks about how he hooked up with Kook of the Day and also how he collaborated with Surfer Magazine to create a mini series called The Ultra Core Surf Hour.  Check it out. Follow him on Instagram (see link below)
