Greg Wachsteter isn’t known for his fancy surfing or contributions to the surf industry. But… Greg is one of the most disciplined surfers I know. I have frequently woken up early for many dawn patrol sessions out in Montauk, only to see Greg paddling back as the sun is just rising over the horizon, already with an hour under his belt. His quote on his Instagram is “choose to be optimistic, it feels better “. Greg is a successful trader, one of the principles at Watermill Trading, a father, husband and no doubt brings his zeal into all aspects of his life. He also started Black Pool Coffee Roasters as a side project to do with his son. He bounces from NYC to Montauk weekly and never seems to be low on energy. He practices mindfulness and we get into some powerful conversation about mental health, living a purposeful life, and maintaining presence. He is our guest on this episode of Swell Season Surf Radio and this is a not to miss episode. Episode is now live… Click the link in the bio to listen ….

Dylan Hronec is a 29 year old surfer from North Bellmore, New York. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Dylan has tackled many obstacles to get to where he is today. He has been surfing for almost 11 years. He developed a love for the water from a young age, but was always involved in other sports as surfing was not considered a possibility for him. That is, until Dylan went online one day and came across videos of Jesse Billauer, an accomplished quadriplegic surfer, and became instantly determined. Dylan’s family supported this dream of his and started looking up possible surf outings in the area. They found a couple of local non-profits and soon enough, Dylan was riding his first wave. He is now more commonly known as The Surfing Samurai and has gone on to surf in Kelly Slater’s Wave Pool, competed in the US Adaptive surfing Championships and is a brand ambassador for both the We The 15 campaign and the Local Non-profit, Surf For All. He’s appeared in numerous media outlets such as CBS, ESPN, Buzzfeed and more. We are super stoked to have him as our guest on this episode of Swell Season Surf Radio.

Happy 4th of July… Artwork by former guest and artist Jeremy Dean . An incredible commentator on race, politics and American History. His process for making these pieces is painstakingly slow and detailed. He deconstructs each individual string from an American flag and then reconstructs them one by one tying them to needles. Each work is a dedication and critique of this country. Love of one’s country is also seeing it for all its beauty and flaws. We can love it and still be self critical of it in the hopes of making it a more perfect union. Check out past episode 52 with Jeremy Dean for more…

Drew has been a surfing celibate for over 30 days and counting... Next we chat with Big Wave Specialist and Owner and operator of Skudin Surf Schools, Will Skudin about the effects the pandemic has had on the local community of Long Beach and what's the rule of thumb when it comes to surfing under lockdown. We then look to the end of the tunnel and what it will mean to his business, plus his latest partnership with American Wave Machines and the American Dreams Mall in NJ, just outside of NYC. We are covering surfing in the time of Coronavirus all through the lockdown. This is our 2nd in a series.
