On today’s episode of The Quivercast, we sit down with former pro surfer, designer, and shaper Parrish Byrne @pbyrne1. Growing up around surfboards, Parrish developed a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship behind a well-made board. Shaping always felt natural to him, but before fully diving into that world, he made his mark as a competitive surfer. While he had the skills to perform at a high level, his success in contests was often driven by strategy—winning at all costs but always keeping it in the water. His calculated approach helped him navigate the pro circuit before transitioning into the business side of the surf industry.

After his competitive career, Parrish took the reins of the family business, Byrne Surfboards @byrne_surf, where he now serves as the head designer. Under his leadership, Byrne Surfboards continues to push the boundaries of high-performance surfboard design while also offering models for surfers of all levels. Their commitment to quality and innovation ensures that every board meets the demands of modern surfing. Tune in to hear Parrish’s journey from pro surfing to shaping, his insights on board design, and what sets Byrne Surfboards apart in today’s surf industry!

Episode Title: Riding Waves and Beats with Thes One (Christopher Portugal)

In this episode of The Quivercast, we sit down with Thes One, aka Christopher Portugal @piecelock70, a multi-talented surfer, rapper, hip-hop artist, and record producer. Growing up in the vibrant yet gritty town of San Pedro, Thes was introduced to surfing by his uncle, igniting a lifelong passion for the ocean. At the same time, he discovered his love for music, which eventually led him to co-found the iconic rap group, People Under the Stairs. Surfing in San Pedro wasn’t always easy—its localized breaks and colorful characters made for a challenging lineup, especially for outsiders. But this unique environment shaped Thes, leaving an indelible mark on both his surfing and his music.

While his music career took center stage for much of his early adult life, the ocean never stopped calling. Thes eventually returned to his hometown, rekindling his relationship with surfing and finding balance between his two passions. Now, whether he's on tour or traveling the globe, he makes time to chase waves and soak in the stoke of surf culture. Tune in as Thes shares his journey of navigating the intersections of music, surf, and creativity, and how these passions continue to shape his life today.
