At seven years old this kid from Pasadena went to the beach and watched his neighbor “walk on water”. Of course his neighbor was a surfer and that’s how he became “smitten” on surfing. Right then and there it took over his life. His father was a Pilot and entrepreneur and was trading goods with Japan. The president of @sony gave his father a super 8 camera and he gave it to his son. This kid began filming radical surfers up and down the coast. He would have showings at local theaters and charge $1. He wanted to be a filmmaker someday. Little did he know that the future had other plans for him. Instead of a filmmaker he became a founder of one of the most iconic, innovative, successful, authentic, resilient, surf brands of our industry @quiksilver !!

There is an old expression, “Kill 2 birds with one stone”. It means to accomplish several things with one action. @bmcknigh did this when he enrolled for @semesteratsea . Not only did he get an education, he also got to surf some of the world’s best surf destinations. Hopefully in the future students/surfers will be able to do this… Listen to this week’s episode with @quiksilver ‘s @bmcknigh !!
