No edits Surfrider Foundation's Jim Moriarty Surfrider Foundation is made up of a mosaic of amazing people. These people approach the idea of coastal conservation from many angles and have different life stories. What they have in common is a love of our oceans, waves, and beaches. Twice a month we will explore this mosaic by releasing an audible interview (typically in .m4a format) with a key player in our movement.

They started out more than 25 years ago, the same time Surfrider was created, and quickly hitched their Barefoot wine wagon to Surfrider and we're glad they did. We love the Barefoot partnership, listen in to how it was born. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/michael_bonnie.m4a Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:48:17 +0000 22:46 Bonnie Harvey, Michael Houlihan, Barefoot Wine, Cause Marketing, waves, beaches, Surfrider Foundation Surfrider Foundation Marie Contassot started out with Surfrider Europe and has worked with us at HQ for the past few months.

He is about as surf-stoked as a person can be. I caught up with him on his way back from Bali, in-between day trips to Trestles and looking for a connection to Cortez Bank. This is his story. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/caminata.m4a Fri, 30 Sep 2011 03:05:18 +0000 13:10 Surfrider Foundation, Gaston Caminata, Recycling, Argentina, waves, beaches Surfrider Foundation Charlie's story is east coast / west coast, sampling what the oceans have to offer and then shifting his life to protect them.

They've been active in Surfrider's network for a while but wanted to go deeper. Specifically they're tired of toxic surfboards... they want an alternative... but even that's not enough. They want ALL surfers to have an alternative. This is that story, I love the direction they are going in and our activist network is sure to embrace these guys as well. The phrase "refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle" takes on new meaning with them. Listen in as we catch up on a Friday evening at Swamis. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/Michael_and_Kevin.m4a Sun, 07 Aug 2011 15:19:02 +0000 25:27 Surfrider Foundation, Michael Stewart, Kevin Whilden, green surfboards, oceans, waves, beaches Surfrider Foundation Dave Rauschkolb is a man with a mission. He's a Seaside, Florida local who owns three restaurants. You might think that's enough, but when he heard of Florida's upcoming decision for expanded offshore drilling he decided to draw a line in the sand and join hands with others. He started Hands Across the Sand a few months prior to the Deepwater Horizon disaster. He and I caught up in downtown San Clemente. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/rauschkolb.m4a Tue, 07 Jun 2011 04:33:14 +0000 15:40 Surfrider Foundation, Hands across the sand, Dave Rauschkolb, Gulf Coast of Florida, no oil drilling Surfrider Foundation Julie's story paints an arc from Long Beach Island, New Jersey to Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California. Her story begins with an ocean connection, includes a chapter which burns to the ground and then resurfaces... recreated in a new, color-steeped form. I caught up with Julie in her studio as she was picking out a piece for the San Diego chapter Art Gala, listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/goldstein.m4a Sun, 01 May 2011 15:53:42 +0000 12:21 Surfrider Foundation, Julie Goldstein, Oceans, New Jersey Shore, Cardiff, art, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation I wanted to reach out to Sean and capture his story because it offers an evolutionary look into Surfrider Foundation. Sean was involved as a chapter member in North Carolina and became a member of our Board of Directors a few years ago. We sat down and captured the story that led to his involvement at the local level and also captured what the Board of Surfrider does throughout the year. Listen in as Sean and I catch up. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/ahlum.m4a Fri, 01 Apr 2011 01:21:00 +0000 14:44 Surfrider Foundation, Sean Ahlum, Oceans, North Carolina Coast, Outer Banks, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Many of us have known for years not to pour paint or anything toxic down storm drains. What we might not know is that nothing should go down those storm drains. That's the case because everything that goes down the storm drain many times goes straight into our oceans. This includes fertilizers or anything we use in our yards. The Ocean Friendly Garden concept was born a few years ago and has since bloomed naturally all over. I caught up with Paul Herzog a few weeks ago while standing in my front yard. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/herzog.m4a Mon, 28 Feb 2011 23:51:26 +0000 12:00 Surfrider Foundation, Paul Herzog, Oceans, Ocean Friendly Gardens, water quality, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Surfrider's mission focuses on the place the land meets the ocean and so we care about anything that's coming from the land and going into the water. Many of us take prescription drugs and those pharmaceuticals pass through our body but we rarely stop to think about what happens to them at that point. Robin Brower-McBride and I caught up at Surfrider's hq in San Clemente to talk about this subject. Her experience with both the pharmaceutical industry and active within Surfrider gives her the perspective to share some detail on a subject that intersects most people living near the coast. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/brower_mcbride.m4a Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:03:26 +0000 12:00 Surfrider Foundation, Robin Brower-McBride, Oceans, pharmaceuticals, drugs, water quality, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environm Surfrider Foundation Every staph infection story I've heard is nasty... including this one. That said I think these ARE stories that need to be told... heard. Joe Mairo is you. He's me. He's all of us. He's going about his life, finding his place to add value to the world and enjoying his natural surroundings. When I spoke to him I felt like I was hearing a story that could have been told by any of us. All of us are beachgoers. All of us are spending some percent of our lives in around ocean water. Listen to Joe's story as it could be yours. We caught up on Long Beach Island in New Jersey. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/mairo.m4a Fri, 31 Dec 2010 19:10:28 +0000 18:15 Surfrider Foundation, Joe Mairo, Oceans, teaching, New Jersey, Jersey Shore, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Programs like The Jersey Shore are pushed out to tens of millions of people and paint a region in horrifically shallow ways. It is not the Jersey shore... it's a TV program designed to... actually I'm not sure what it's purpose is. Enter John Weber. John Weber is, at least to me, the New Jersey shore. I say that because he spent is formidable summers there and now, as an adult, has oriented is life around helping preserve them. I've wanted to capture his story for a while and he and I recently caught up on the beach in Long Beach Island. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/weber.m4a Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:32:30 +0000 23:50 Surfrider Foundation, John Weber, Oceans, New Jersey, Jersey Shore, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Hiromi Matsubara reminds me of Eddie Aikau (of the famous "Eddie would go"). Like Eddie, Hiromi is about more than charging waves. She shares a love for their surroundings and an appreciation for the priceless things in life. She has also been one of the key players with Surfrider Japan over the past few years. I caught up with Hiromi driving back from southeastern Japan after the recent international conference. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/matsubara.m4a Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:36:23 +0000 23:50 Surfrider Foundation, Hiromi Matsubara, Oceans, Japan, Surfrider International Conference, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environm Surfrider Foundation If there is a category for the thinking-mans activist, Pete Stauffer is smack dab in the middle of it. He's Surfrider DNA through and through; he's volunteered for three different chapters (on three different coasts), he interned for Senator Kevin Ranker (when Kevin was still Wookie, running Surfrider in Washington state) and he is usually just out of the water or just about to head to the water. If these attributes aren't enough he can hang with Washington DC beltway types, drink beers with the Pacific Northwest flannel-shirt crew and lead the dialog with representatives from alternative ocean energy companies. Pete's the real deal and we are stoked to have him on our team. Listen in as Pete and I caught up at hq in late September, 2010. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/stauffer.m4a Fri, 01 Oct 2010 00:38:18 +0000 19:50 Surfrider Foundation, Pete Stauffer, Ocean energy, ocean ecosystem, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation File this one under "Activists in the Gulf." You can think of Mike Sturdivant as our Gulf of Mexico point person. He's Chair of the Emerald Coast Surfrider Chapter which is in the Pensacola to Panama City region. I caught up with him on August 2nd to get his read on what had happened, how it was affecting the local people and environment and what was ahead for them. Listen in as we catch up, walking the beach just past a permanent sign warning for oil and dispersant contamination. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/sturdivant.m4a Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:40:34 +0000 19:28 Surfrider Foundation, Mike Sturdivant, Gulf of Mexico, Pensacola, Panama City, dispersant, oil spill, waves, surf, ocean Surfrider Foundation Jake Moss has a vision. His vision is surfboards can offer high performance AND with a much lower environmental footprint. I like that about him... I like that commitment to creating something better without discounting a major attribute like performance. What I like even more is that he views this as a journey and he's willing to share and learn at every stage of the trip. If you think about those two things, sustainability and surfboard performance, then this podcast is for you. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/jmoss.m4a Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:43:30 +0000 13:25 Surfrider Foundation, Jason Moss, green surfboards, epoxy, foam blanks, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Tristan Prettyman and Jason Mraz are no strangers to Surfrider Foundation. About a year ago, Tristan connected with our Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project and helped transform what some people would call work into what most people would call an awesome time! Meanwhile, Jason has participated in our annual Celebrity Expression Session held in Malibu and was recently honored by our San Diego chapter. I knew they’ve both been connected with us but wanted to know where their love of oceans, waves and beaches came from. We caught up on the rocks at Swamis in Encinitas and then enjoyed a few small summer peelers. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/tristan_and_jason.m4a Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:46:51 +0000 14:59 Surfrider Foundation, Tristan Prettyman, Jason Mraz, Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project, Celebrity Expression Session, Gulf oil spill, music, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation I met Stiv a few years ago up in Portland. It was immediately clear that he was dialed into the local eco-braintrust. I knew Stiv was one of the people behind Wend, the brainy action sports / adventure publication, and the more I found out about him the more I was impressed. He's one of those people that gets more and more interesting the more you invest in getting to know him. And when I heard he was working with fellow Pacific Gyre mavens, Anna and Marcus, to head to the other five ocean gyres, I knew I had to find a time to connect with him and hear more about what he's doing. Here it is, Stiv Wilson and I catching up at Surfrider's HQ a few weeks ago. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/stiv_wilson.m4a Sat, 01 May 2010 00:49:48 +0000 23:21 Surfrider Foundation, Stiv Wilson, ocean gyres, Portland Oregon, plsatics, San Clemente, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation I love the stories behind what drives people to activism. I don't think any of us are "born" activists... it's the events of our lives that change us, that shape us... that demand something more of us than perhaps we thought we'd be comfortable with. The Save Trestles story is really the sum of many, smaller stories. At the center of this decade-long campaign is people like Jerry Collamer. In fact I'd argue that at the center IS Jerry Collamer. I sat down with Jerry on a bluff overlooking the last clean watershed in Southern California. I'm humbled to be near people like Jerry because of what they've done with their lives. Jerry has a legacy... and it's beautiful. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/collamer.m4a Thu, 01 Apr 2010 00:53:00 +0000 33:26 Surfrider Foundation, Jerry Collamer, Save Trestles, activism, San Clemente, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation When I think of the words "craftsmen" and "surfboard" I immediately jump to Chris Christenson. Chris approaches surfboards with a holistic view. He not only performs every step involved in shaping, glassing and finishing but he also brings a modern visual design aesthetic that makes one think his boards should be hung in a gallery instead of ridden. That said, Chris wants his boards ridden. They may be art, but they are designed to be functional art not solely-aesthetic art. A recent proof point of this was in last month's Surfer magazine--the cover showed Greg Long, winning the Eddie, on a board designed and crafted by Chris. I caught up with him in his shaping bay. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/christenson.m4a Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:54:57 +0000 18:11 Surfrider Foundation, Chris Christenson, Cerritos, surfboard shaper, The Eddie, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation J.P. is a custom surfboard shaper in Southern California. I sought him out for a few reasons. I wanted to hear his perspective on how his world has changed since Clark Foam shut it's doors. I also wanted to hear his view on the experimentation and variety that we're seeing with surfboard design. Most of all I wanted to connect with him and understand how he has altered his worldview and his approach to living and shaping with the least environmental impact possible. Listen in as we catch up just south of Oceanside Pier... on the beach. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/holeman.m4a Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:57:21 +0000 27:28 Surfrider Foundation, J.P. Holeman, Oceanside, surfboard shaper, green, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Drew is one of those people that follows his passion with vigor and creates a life around that. His intersection with our mission goes all the way back to his roots on the east coast as a kid. On this podcast he walks thorough the various chapters and layers of his life: surf, art and family. There is an image on the wall of his office that encapsulates him for me. It's not one of his works (although, it could be), and it hover's above Maria Brophy's desk. It's an other-worldly day at Todos Santos and he's smack dab in the middle of it all. Listen in as we talk about his story. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/brophy.m4a Thu, 31 Dec 2009 22:58:18 +0000 19:48 Surfrider Foundation, Drew Brophy, South Carolina, Myrtle Beach, art, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Everything about this podcast fascinated me. The Washington DC chapter is one of the few non-coastal chapters in our network. Julie Lawson and the DC crew have created muscle that is not only tied into the local watershed and the distant beach, but also the federal government around them. Lastly, rather than working to pass a blatant plastic bag ban, the DC chapter worked with other groups to tie the plastics issue to economics. Julie and I sat down and walked through these issues and a few others. Don't let her humility fool you, this woman is a rock star. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/lawson.m4a Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:02:12 +0000 21:00 Surfrider Foundation, Julie Lawson, Washington DC, DC Chapter, Anacostia River, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation I first came to know Manase as a constant fixture at the San Diego Chapter meetings. He was always engaged and always adding value. About a year ago he left Southern California for his third tour of Iraq. When I heard he was back, safe and sound, I was thrilled. When I heard how he had taken our Rise Above Plastics campaign into the desert and architected a large-scale recycling program within the world's armed forces... I was blown away. There are many levels to this man, I tried to capture one or two on this podcast. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/mansur.m4a Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:03:06 +0000 21:00 Surfrider Foundation, Manase Mansur, Samoa, Rise Above Plastics, Iraq, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Rory almost died a month ago. I'm serious. He caught MRSA, a multi- resistant staph infection and... almost died. That story was the hook that made me want to podcast this story. That story is a cliff-hanger with, thank God, a positive ending. But the truth is that I was overdue for a podcast with Rory independent of that story. Listen in and hear the rest of his story...hear how he's been hip-deep in the coastal environmental movement since before it was even called "environmental." Hear his advice for upcoming surfers. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/wicks.m4a Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:04:59 +0000 34:30 Surfrider Foundation, Rory Wicks, Coast Law, Environmental Law, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment, Swamis, MRSA Surfrider Foundation When I think of Rob Havassy a few things come to mind. He loves color. He surfs better than you. He is a tireless supporter of Surfrider Foundation’s mission. We caught up on the beach at Crystal Cove in Newport Beach. We spoke about these things and as well as his ambitious new project Surf Story. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/havassy.m4a Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:16:46 +0000 27:30 Surfrider Foundation, Robb Havassy, Surf Story, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation As I hit the "stop" button on my ipod Marty said, "I hope people realize we're all in this boat together. The thing that connects us all is Mother Ocean, and she doesn't recognize political boundaries." This was a perfect umbrella statement for the time we spent together catching up on the beach at Rincon. Marty's story takes her from Venice to Huntington Beach to Costa Rica to Indonesia and then she really started to travel. I love this podcast as half way through our framing her story her 15 year old twins joined us. Dana and Taylor Cook offered a wonderful perspective on what we're all trying to do... change the world. We know it's the next generation who will take the torch. Their perspective added an unexpected special color to this podcast. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/fujita.m4a Sat, 01 Aug 2009 01:19:35 +0000 22:28 Surfrider Foundation, Marty Fujita, Huntington Beach, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation The On The Beach podcast series exists to explore our connections to oceans, waves and beaches from as many perspectives as possible. When I saw the photo of a dad surfing with a one year old on his back... I was taken in. It was Norman Ollestad Sr. surfing Topanga with his tiny young son Norman Ollestad on his back. I'm guessing not too many people out there have similar photos of themselves with their father. Crazy for the Storm is the tender, heart-warming... tragic, heart-wrenching story of these two people. It was just released and is already on the NYT best seller list... but my interest in talking with Norman was to understand a bit more of the back story to this photo, growing up around Malibu and how the ocean shaped his life. Listen in as I caught up with Norman, on the beach, at Topanga. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/ollestad.m4a Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:51:17 +0000 19:42 Surfrider Foundation, Norman Ollestad, Crazy for the Storm, Topanga Beach, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Michelle was born in the Midwest and in her early years she put in motion a trajectory toward the ocean. Was it her early experiences with the Great Lakes that piqued her coastal interest or was it those smelly crabs and shells she put in her mom's trunk? Fast forward a few years, now with a Ph.D. in marine ecology at the Duke University Marine Lab, and her life vector is set. Listen in as we talk through her early years, how and where she connected to the coastlines, what her views are on fisheries and finally her role on the Surfrider Foundation Board of Directors. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/duval.m4a Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:57:30 +0000 31:10 Surfrider Foundation, Michelle Duval, Outer Banks, North Carolina, Surfrider Foundation Board of Directors, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Kirra is a wave that brings certain images into people's minds. For me it's an image of Rabbit Bartholomew on a wave so perfect it's been drawn on kids notebooks and he's deep. On a recent trip to Australia to work with our affiliate I met up with another name that should be near that same level of recognition, Neil Lazarow. Neil has been studying this wave and the various man-made issues that formed it, then formed the Superbank and then formed the Superbeach. This is a dredging-gone-awry story, one that's worth hearing. Perhaps even more interesting is Neil's back story, how he came to this spot in his life and where he sees himself going next. I asked Neil for the Kirra story but what I got was something even more powerful. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/lazarow.m4a Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:59:30 +0000 23:14 Surfrider Foundation, Neil Lazarow, Australia, Save Kirra, South Africa, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation A few years ago I did the San Diego / Tijuana watershed tour with the crew from WildCoast and it was eye opening. The amount of trash, the intensity of toxicity and the fact that it all flows into a state park... left an imprint on my brain that won't go away. The Imperial Beach area has issues; pollution, run-off, trash, beach closures... their cup overflows... with sewage. I caught up with Dan Murphy the other morning to capture his story and how it's now intersecting the border region. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/murphy.m4a Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:01:23 +0000 21:44 Surfrider Foundation, Dan Murphy, Tijuana, Imperial Beach, sewage, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation I first learned of Rogan a few years back when he provided an artwork for the first Art for the Oceans auction. Loomstate, the label he founded with Scott Hahn, also provided tshirts for the event that were among the softest, best tshirts I've ever worn (we still get requests for them). The reason I mention this is that the shirts were sourced from certified organic cotton. Loomstate is to fashion what Patagonia is to sports. They are early adopters, they are influencers, they are mavens. I was intrigued with them from the second I heard about them and every interaction I've had since has made me understand how their vision for their brand overlaps with Surfrider's mission. We caught up on Venice Boulevard over lunch. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/gregory_and_hahn.m4a Sat, 16 May 2009 06:03:17 +0000 33:17 Surfrider Foundation, Rogan Gregory, Scott Hahn, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation I can't remember the first time I met Michael Rhodes but something tells me it was in the water. He's a local at 15th Street in Del Mar, California. He's also a powerhouse and senior partner at Cooley Godward Kronish, providing principal commercial litigation counsel to influential companies including eBay and Skype. We didn't talk about any of this...we talked about how he got there, why he loves the oceans and why he has directed his time, energy, services and money toward our Surfrider mission. Listen in. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/rhodes.m4a Fri, 01 May 2009 06:06:42 +0000 12:02 Surfrider Foundation, Michael Rhodes, Del Mar, San Diego, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Dick Baker has a unique perspective on things. As a veteran of such brands as Esprit and Tommy Hilfiger this San Clemente denizen and former New York resident has a bicoastal and multifacted view of the retail world. He came into the surf industry from the outside and quickly rose to the top insider position as leader of the industry's trade association. All the while he has had a hand on the wheel at the Surfrider Foundation - helping to guide us from time to time and helping us to connect in a meaningful way. Listen in as I catch up with Dick at the Surfrider Foundation global offices in San Clemente. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/baker.m4a Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:08:03 +0000 37:07 Surfrider Foundation, Dick Baker, Save Trestles, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Rick Erkeneff.

Stefanie is a force within our San Diego Chapter, and it was clear she was a key player. Fast forward a couple years and she was as the backbone of the Save Trestles campaign. Today, Stefanie is one of the leading forces on Marine Protected Areas at the Surfrider Foundation. I've wanted to capture her story for a long time, and on a crisp day in March we caught up at Swamis. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/sekich.m4a Mon, 16 Mar 2009 06:11:05 +0000 24:45 Surfrider Foundation, Stefanie Sekich, Save Trestles, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Bob Mignogna grew up in New York City and moved to Hawaii after reading a Drew Kampion story on the north shore. He later ran Surfing Magazine and in the past few years acted as one of the key enablers to get the surfing industry involved in the Trestles campaign. If you work in the surf industry chances are you've received a notable number of emails from Bob with updates and calls to action regarding Trestles. I wanted to hear more of the back story on all those things so we recorded a podcast on the beach at Cottons. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/mignogna.m4a Sun, 01 Mar 2009 04:13:58 +0000 29:07 Surfrider Foundation, Bob Mignogna, Trestles, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Lots of people have heard about the garbage patch, a plastic-soup in the middle of the Pacific Ocean the size of Texas. On this podcast I catch up with two researchers at Algalita. Dr. Marcus Eriksen, one of the two on the podcast, also has the notoriety of being one of the two people to sail a junk craft (made up of 15,000 plastic bottles) from LA to HI last year. He's joined by Anna Cummins who will join him on a Vancouver to Mexico bike ride this summer. The ride is oriented towards bringing the message to the masses about the perils of plastics and how they are having massive impact on our oceans. We caught up at Surfrider's hq in San Clemente. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/algalita.m4a Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:15:46 +0000 17:55 Surfrider Foundation, Dr. Marcus Eriksen, Anna Cummins, Algalita, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Lots of people know Fernando as the front man for Reef Sandals. They may also know he's a Wind-an-Sea local and has a board collection that makes most mortals drool. What they might not know is his life story, growing up in Mar Del Plata, Argentina and eventually being the driving force behind starting Surfrider Argentina. He and I caught up on a trip home from San Francisco. Seeing he's such a world traveler I thought it would be apropos to capture a podcast in the SFO airport. Listen in (listener discretion advised, I'm kidding... sorta). http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/aguerre.m4a Sun, 01 Feb 2009 03:17:38 +0000 24:46 Surfrider Foundation, Fernando Aguerre, Mar del Plata, Argentina, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Rob's history intersects Surfrider greatly but, as he puts it, perhaps mostly because he was the only guy with a collared shirt and a few neckties. He was President of this fine organization a few years back and, on this podcast, shares his views on our history. He and I caught up walking the Pillar Point harbor at Half Moon Bay in Northern California. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/caughlan.m4a Fri, 16 Jan 2009 04:19:33 +0000 14:05 Surfrider Foundation, Rob Birdlegs Caughlan, Rob Caughlan, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation Brad has led a storied life. He's been arrested by the KGB. He was the force behind starting Surfrider Australia. If that's not enough he and Rabbit created the concept of "National Surfing Reserves" about 17 years ago and it's a concept that is catching on in Australia. He and I caught up walking the shores of Pillar Point (Mavericks) at a Save The Waves conference where we met to talk about taking his concept, via Save The Waves, around the world.

For a subject of the video he decided to turn to something he loved and something that bugged him... Surfing and trash. What followed was "Pick up 3" a video about he and his buddies commitment to pick up three pieces of trash as they leave the ocean after a surf. This then thrust him into Surfing Magazine as a green leader. He's 14 now and I caught up with him at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar, California. He told me the back story to the video and why his foot was bleeding as we talked and watched the sun set. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/emery.m4a Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:24:22 +0000 8:50 Surfrider Foundation, Cobi Emery, Powerhouse Park, Del Mar, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation From South Africa to England to Western Australia to Brazil, Glenn's connection with our coasts and oceans transcends national boundaries. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/suba.m4a Mon, 01 Dec 2008 04:26:09 +0000 18:15 Surfrider Foundation, Glenn Suba, Surfrider Brasil, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment Surfrider Foundation The defining moment in Mark Massara's life came early. From that point forward he's been a driver, an engine and increasingly an icon in California's coastal conservation movement.

I love the album so much. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life." -- Paul McCartney. When you think of music and think of the beach what comes to mind? I'm guessing your short list will include Brian Wilson, I know mine does. Brian and I chatted about his growing up in coastal California, his music and the full revolution of a California experience he's had. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/wilson.m4a Wed, 01 Oct 2008 06:34:52 +0000 9:50 Surfrider Foundation, Brian Wilson, Beach Boys, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment, music Surfrider Foundation Ellis was one of the drivers that put Surfrider on the map in the great state of Texas. In fact, for the past ten years he's been our go-to man for all things Texas. Ten years ago there was no Surfrider presence and today there are four vibrant chapters. In a land whose ocean boundaries triple every other state's and a state with perhaps the most progressive beach access policy, this means a lot. I caught up with Ellis on the steps of the Capital in Austin, during a break from the Texas Regional Conference.

But he's more than that. Shaun has had deep involvement with our campaigns and programs stretching back multiple decades... and he's not letting up. Just last year he probably logged a thousand miles going to and from various events that in some way benefited our mission. There is a phrase used in our inner circle, "constant pressure, endlessly applied". It's used to describe our need for consistent engagement. Shaun is "constant support, endlessly applied". It's always a pleasure to sit down and catch up with Shaun, this time we caught up at Butterfly Beach in Montecito, California. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/stomson.m4a Tue, 01 Apr 2008 06:53:31 +0000 35:46 Surfrider Foundation, Shaun Tomson, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment, coastal environment, South Africa Surfrider Foundation Paul Naudé, President of Billabong USA, has been a supporter of Surfrider for as long as we can remember. Beyond that he's shown great leadership in not only bringing environmental awareness into the surf industry but also putting his money where his mouth is. Paul is usually a man of few words but in this podcast he shares his life story with the detail that paints a picture of an aware and involved global citizen. My favorite part of this podcast is about 30 minutes into the conversation when I ask him about the environmental part of his story and in an almost anticlimactic moment Paul shares in a matter of fact tone "look, if you're a surfer you notice clean water and dirty water" and succinctly paints how straightforward surfers should see environmental issues. http://www.surfrider.org/media/podcasts/naude.m4a Sun, 16 Mar 2008 07:01:28 +0000 40:13 Surfrider Foundation, Paul Naudé, Billabong USA, waves, surf, ocean, beaches, environment, coastal environment Surfrider Foundation Few people reflect the Surfrider brand with as much accuracy as Mark Babski: global citizen yet locally integrated, highly educated yet accessible and down to earth, politically astute yet environmentally conscious, a listener and yet the first person to act.
