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.

In today’s episode of The Quivercast, we feature Santa Barbara-raised surfer, shaper, and firefighter Cooper Boneck, who now resides in Central California. Growing up immersed in Santa Barbara’s punk and skate scene, Cooper balanced his time between the vibrant subcultures of the streets and the waves of the Pacific. In his early 20s, he had a pivotal realization about the profound role surfing played in his life, prompting him to dedicate himself more deeply to the craft and culture of riding waves.

As Cooper's passion for surfing grew, so did his love for shaping boards under the Label Mesa Surfboards @mesasurfboards. Over the years, he honed his skills, creating boards that reflect a wide range of styles and designs rather than adhering to a single formula. Cooper shares insights into how his shaping evolved, his connection to the surf community, and the balance he strikes between his careers as a firefighter and a shaper. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about creativity, dedication, and the unique lifestyle Cooper has built around surfing.

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.
