In this episode, I had the chance to talk to a #1 bestseller author from Pensacola, Florida—Nic Schuck.   Native Moments is Nic's debut novel. It's a coming-of-age surf adventure novel set in Costa Rica. 2.5 years after it was published, it reached #1 bestseller status in the Central and South American Travel and Tourism category on Amazon, which lets him know that it survives in an era of easily disposable fads. In this episode, he lets us in on what the book is all about, his inspiration in writing it, what his process is like, and so much more.

Dom Taylor is the founder of Shaka Surf, an eco surf product marketplace established in 2018. He is a surfer, environmentalist, keen traveler, and entrepreneur. He currently splits his time between Portugal and the UK, loves learning new languages and meeting people from all walks of life! He started Shaka Surf because he wanted to "be the change" rather than passively watch our oceans and beaches get progressively worse with rubbish. He came up with the idea of creating eco surf fins from recycled waste materials and plastics after coming in from a surf and seeing so much waste on the beach. He pledged to put this rubbish to good use. As well as recycling waste materials and plastics to make the recycled fins, he wanted to create a standout design. So he enlisted the help of a street artist to come up with a unique aesthetic. This led to the development of the Swell lines, paying homage to surf culture and oceanography.

Greg is the owner of CR Surf Travel Company. Greg grew up surfing the East Coast of the United States. He's lived in New York, Virginia Beach, Cocoa Beach, and Miami Beach Florida, and so understands the value of having good, clean waves since they didn't come that often. He has also lived close to Swami's and Santa Cruz in California so he understands the value of having uncrowded waves and warm water. Greg made his first trip to Costa Rica in 1996, has lived there for more than 5 years and has made over 40 trips back and forth in between. He has surfed both coastlines extensively, planned hundreds of trips for clients and friends over the last 23 years, and has written surf travel articles for Surfline, The Inertia, and the Tico Times. When he is not surfing, writing, or helping clients, he is helping out at beach cleanups, playing guitar, and just enjoying and appreciating the natural beauty around him.

Have you ever thought about starting over? Here is an idea: quit everything and move to Bali to restart your life as a surf photographer. Originally a Russian police officer, Sasha started her new life in 2014 on the island of Bali. Swimming skills and passion for photography have defined her current occupation. She learned to surf and never looked back. She said in an interview for Saltwater Magazine,  "Water photography is a long journey . . . It pushes me from my comfort zone . . . and forces to keep on moving." I think we can all relate to that. Some of the topics we cover include the following: How did you go from working as a police officer in Russia to a surf photographer? Why photography? How did you start—did you enjoy photography when you were younger? I see you have some great water shots, what is it like shooting in the water? What do you shot with—what equipment do you travel with? What is your favorite lens? (45mm - AP - Speed Auto - 2.2 - 1.8 - recommend 5.6 for beginners) Post-production? Color correction, Adobe Lightroom 100:1 Marc 3 - full-frame What is your process—many of your photos have people in them, do you like capturing humans in action? You were in Bali, then Brazil, and now Mexico—can you tell us a little about your journey this past year. Does photography lead you or do you lead it? How does social media influence your photography? What’s next on your horizon? Who are some photographers that you admire?

We are launching a new series called Backstage Pass. These episodes are a backstage pass into running and building a surf brand. I am pulling back the kimono and giving everyone a peek at what it takes to run an eCommerce brand.  In this episode we talk about the following:  The new business model that is emerging in today’s world—brands are selling directly to customers. COVID is accelerating the online shopping trend away from brick and mortar retail. Amazon has changed the way we think about buying products—but you are always an Amazon customer when you buy from that platform. Why Wave Tribe cares for you more deeply if you buy directly from us. Relationships with customers and factories are the key to growing a successful business. Have a business idea? Keep it simple. Why surfing is a spiritual experience. Any product ideas for Wave Tribe out there?

Passion truly drives Radbeh Ravaz as he chases his dream to bring a product to life. Radbeh invented the next generation beach chair, it passed the 1st SharkTank audition but he was never called back this season.

He took it to the former bodyboarding world champion and got tons of great feedback and stoke. We talk about manufacturing challenges and domestic production. He laments about why we cannot have a sustainable business if we want to keep the production in the US. He suggests that we are outsourcing our economy and we are shutting down innovation and innovative thinking in an industry that belongs to us and Pacific beach.
