Today on The Quivercast, we sit down with Sean Pearson @seannicaragua—a surfer, surf guide, and proud Nicaraguan citizen. Sean's journey started on a skateboard, gracing the pages of magazines as a young sponsored skater. But at age 12, the surf bug bit him, and everything changed.

Although Sean grew up surrounded by the surf world thanks to his father, a legendary surfboard shaper, he wasn’t pressured into the sport. Instead, his path unfolded naturally. In his early teens, Sean moved to the remote jungles of Nicaragua, where he helped his father and friends build a surf camp. The perfect waves of Nicaragua captivated Sean, and he decided to make the country his permanent home—eventually becoming a citizen.

Over the years, Sean has mastered the art of reading Nicaragua’s coastline, learning every break and condition. Today, elite surfers like Filipe Toledo and Chippa Wilson trust Sean to guide them to the best waves the country has to offer. @seannicaraguatravel Whether you're a pro or a soul surfer, Sean's story is a testament to living your passion and finding your place in the world.

Today on the Quivercast, we sit down with Cole Tashy—a fishing captain, former pro surfer, and two-time shark bite survivor from Florida. Cole shares the gripping story of his encounter with a shark while surfing, a day marked by tragedy as he mourned the loss of a friend. Seeking a quiet moment, he paddled down the beach to reflect, only to feel a sudden, terrifying bite on both feet. Through this harrowing experience, Cole has kept his deep connection to the ocean and his hometown, where he is a familiar face at Bathtub Reef. Though he’s surfed there for years, he warns others against visiting, citing the intense localism and limited parking at the break.

Cole’s surf journey includes a brief stint in California, where he pursued the QS in his early 20s. Despite his love for California’s waves and surf culture, the high cost of living eventually brought him back home to Florida. Today, Cole is a dedicated fishing boat captain in Stuart, Florida, sharing his passion for the sea in a new way. Tune in as we dive into his unique life, from overcoming shark bites to navigating the surf scene on both coasts and hear his insights on the lifestyle that keeps him tied to the water.

In today’s episode, we sit down with surfer Cory Spencer, a passionate surfer and co-plaintiff in the Lunada Bay (Palos Verdes) localism lawsuit. Cory shares the intense story of his attempt to surf the legendary Lunada Bay, a break known not only for its powerful waves but also for its notorious localism.

On January 29th, 2016, after years of dreaming about this iconic California spot, Cory and his friend Taloa decided it was time to paddle out and ride the waves at Lunada Bay. However, what was supposed to be an exhilarating day in the water quickly took a turn. From the moment they arrived, they were met with harassment and heckling from the locals, culminating in a dangerous encounter where Cory was run over while surfing.

Cory, who has been surfing since the age of 10, is a strong advocate for proper surf etiquette and respecting the unspoken rules of the lineup. He wasn't looking to cause trouble that day – just to catch a few waves during a solid swell. His experience sheds light on the issue of localism and its impact on surfers trying to enjoy the ocean.

Tune in to hear Cory's firsthand account of this notorious surf break, the legal battle that followed, and his perspective on surf culture and localism. Was Cory simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, or does this story highlight a larger issue in the surfing community? Listen and judge for yourself.
