Devon Howard- The Longboarding Intellectual.
The Longboardarian Podcast
04/18/20 • 84 min
Devon Howard is a San Diego, California native. Born in a community where surfing is a normal and common aspect of daily life. Surfing was encouraged in his family as Devon's Mom was a surfer as well. It makes sense that Devon became an avid surfer.
Growing up he discovered longboarding at an early age when most kid surfers were not keen about a "prehistoric" approach to surfing. As a teen he had the privilege in landing a job as "The Shop Rat" with Donald Takayama Surfboards as he became an elite longboarder of the community . As a young adult he became the editor for Longboard Magazine in the late 90's/2000's. He starred in many iconic longboard films like The Seedling, Sprout, Single Fin Yellow and One California Day. He became a strong competitor in the ASP Longboard Tour (now WSL). He is a successful entrepreneur, he founded and runs a marketing and branding agency called Blu Sky with clients like Channel Islands Surfboards, Coastal Wellness and the World Surf League. Now destiny has added to his plate.... the job as Longboard Tour Director for the WSL.
Topics discussed but not limited to:
Surfing Beginnings
Team Donald Takayama
Resurgence of Traditional Longboarding 90's and Beyond
Being a Pro Longboarder in the ASP
Longboard Design 101

Status of Pro Longboarding
The Longboardarian Podcast
04/20/19 • 26 min
On a April 19th, I published an opinion piece on my Instagram/IGTV. I knew it could ruffle some feathers around our longboarding community but I did it anyways because that is what Longboardarian is all about, covering longboarding! There are many topics to visit and discuss. this particular subject is about pro longboarding. I chose to start a conversation on this particular because as an observer I feel like 2019 is bringing some interesting changes in the highest levels of PL. I would love to see the WSL and The Relik have success with their respective tours. On this episode I propose an idea for pro longboarding that in my opinion would assist in bridging the two main disciplines of competitive longboarding. I am not the best orator around so when I tried to put together a video with my proposal I feel like it may have been slightly misinterpreted. I was accused of being divisive and misleading. All I wanted to do was start a conversation. I feel confident about my proposal for competitive pro longboarding and I welcome a respectful discussion about it. Here's my take two in presenting my idea. I hope you enjoy!

Matt "The Waxhead" Chojnacki- Australian Longboard Sensei
The Longboardarian Podcast
12/05/20 • 110 min
The Waxhead, as he likes to be called is a longtime longboard aficionado from Sydney, Australia. Still a young man ( in his early thirties), I had and have the impression that he speaks with the knowledge of an old surfing soul. Basically, he is one of those people that I like to call a "longboard nerd". What happens when you get 2 longboard nerds to sit down and talk longboarding? A heavy, deep and entertaining interview!
Matt is a professional longboarder, business owner, car restorer, event commentator and surf mentor. He has won almost a dozen Australian Longboarding Championships, he has been a Joel Tudor Vans Duct Tape Invitee 3x and is currently ranked 9th in the WSL LB TOUR. He is very involved with surfboard and fin design, collaborating and doing R&D with surfing legend of legends Bob McTavish and his son Ben McTavish.
In my objective opinion, one of the world's top 10 most relevant longboard surfers today.
Topics:
His beginnings
Influences
Who's Who of Longboarding
Competitive Longboarding
Longboard and Fin Design
Surf Etiquette & Surf Hierachies

Ashley Lloyd- Planers, Foam And Surfing- A Woman's Journey.
The Longboardarian Podcast
04/13/21 • 87 min
Originally from Southern California, this shaper/surfer, musician, super Mom and entrepreneur is part of the strong surfing community of Santa Cruz, CA.
She has established a strong presence and a positive reputation in the surfboard manufacturing world. She has proactively pursued methods of building surfboards that cause less harm to our planet and environment. Her board designs and shapes are a product of decades of R&D and influences from her favorite shapers. Ashley Lloyd Surfboards is the name of her surfboard brand, she has an excellent variety of models. From longboards to mid-lengths to fishes, when I went to her website I had to hold my thoughts at bay and not order a longboard, lol.
Ashley is also a skilled and avid musician, she studied music in college and has been part of different musical projects and bands.
As a single Mom she balances life between her son, surfing, shaping, music and a new entrepreneurial project www.unfurling.com .
It was a great pleasure to interview Ashley and learn from her perspectives on surfboard design and surf culture.

Linda Cuy- Author of The Surf Sting- Surf Travels with Miki Dora and Don Wilson.
The Longboardarian Podcast
03/09/21 • 72 min
If you are a surf history nerd and are curious and willing to listen to a different perspective on one of the most controversial surfing icons in history, you are in for a treat.
The author of The Surf Sting goes by the name of
Linda Cuy, she is a native of Southern California and her surfing journey began in 1962.
Once upon a day in the sixties, as she was drying up by her car after a surf session
Miki "Da Cat" Dora approached her and invited her to a date, the rest of the decades long story is now history and in this interview Linda relates to us her experiences, anecdotes and close relationship with Miki and another colorful individual and charlatan,
Don "Pirate Captain" Wilson. Both men were strongly persistent for Linda's companionship, to the point of hate and violent actions between each other.
On this interview/conversation I ask Linda many questions and at times I press her on different matters that she was involved in with these two questionable and adventurous characters. It was a fun and insightful conversation.
The book is ultra entertaining and it gives you a clearer understanding on Miki Dora and his ways. Her stories with Don Wilson are as epic and dramatic as what she experienced with Dora. A great read!
I hope you enjoy!

Kely Rodrigues- Manuela Shapes/ A Hawaiian Perspective.
The Longboardarian Podcast
04/08/20 • 57 min
Recently, I had the true pleasure of visiting for the first time the Hawaiian island of Maui, beautiful would be an understatement to describe Maui. I was there for my wife's work related conference. It was the perfect timing for me to connect with Kely Rodrigues from Manuela Shapes.
I juggled my time between my lady and friends, surfing (scored good Honolua Bay), an interview with big wave hellman and longboard great Zack Howard and meeting up with Kely Boy. Unfortunately, time was limited so I was not able to visit his shaping room and record our interview on-site. I had a brief meeting with him at an undisclosed surf spot somewhere in the northern part of the island. Kely said I was so lucky that this particular spot was super fun with its offshore winds as its usually totally blown out. Kely came across as a strongly rooted Hawaiian. His heavy accent, the visuals of his Polynesian tattoos and a welcoming aloha attitude made me feel in good company. There wasn't time to talk to much as my host of the day, another longboard great, Johnny Pitzer and I wanted to hit the water.
Few weeks later on April 1st, 2020 we recorded this interview via the miracle of technology. It's my first "remote recording" interview. A pleasure for it being with Mr. Kely Rodrigues. Thank you for sharing your story and knowledge on the passion that tie so many of us together.

E 2/ Vince Felix - One of California's most respected longboarders/ The Ventucky Dude
The Longboardarian Podcast
02/07/19 • 77 min
Longboardarian sits down with one of California's most respected longboarders, his name is Vince Felix. He has a long history within California's surf community and is recognized as one of the best longboard performers. He is a committed family man, entrepreneur, surfer, skater and rad dude overall.
On this episode we discuss his longboarding trajectory as a surfer and as a head judge where he has been sought out for his clear and consistent criteria for some of the most prominent longboarding events.
It was a pleasure sitting down with him at his family home and allow me to pick on his brain for some perspective, insights and opinions on longboarding and its status quo. Checkout his website where he and his hunny, artist extraordinaire Cynthia Polk, offer a wide range of art services, including body tattoo, screen printing and more. Check them out at!

WSL LB Tour 2019/Taiwan LB Open Review with Jeff Belzer
The Longboardarian Podcast
12/15/19 • 59 min
Good Day Everyone!
On this special episode, Jeff Belzer and myself have a casual but in-depth discussion of what we saw in regards to the 2019 WSL Longboard Tour and their final main event in Taiwan.
A lot of changes happened this year within the WSL LB Tour which was spearheaded by new tour director Devon Howard. In my eyes, the most exciting year for professional competitive longboarding. It was a question of time, on when these changes were finally going to be materialized. Changes were not of the liking of all competitors and viewers BUT I am confident that it was of the liking of most longboard heads around the world. We have seen a strong global movement towards a more classical approach of surfing longboards in the last 10 years give and take. Including more youngsters than ever taking on the art of longboard surfing to its roots. The WSL even got the "stamp of approval" of one of its most brash critics, longboard maestro and preservationist Joel Tudor. He showed this by participating in one of the WSL main events.
I hope you enjoy our conversation. Please share with others and don't forget to give us a rating or feedback in which ever platform you are using to listen to our episodes.
Nos vemos en el agua! Feliz Navidad!

Tommy Pierucki - Cameras, Planers and Desire.

Episode dedicated to the memory, family and friends of Peter Cole and Johnny Fain.
RIP
As I prepared for the TP interview, I learned some interesting facts about Tommy. One thing in particular caught me by surprise. The man that I had been following for the last few years on Instagram to satisfy my need of consuming beautiful longboarding imagery, was somewhat a newcomer to the art of surfing photography. Based on the incredible and mesmerizing pictures, I would have guessed he had been in the profession for a few decades and perhaps graduated from some fancy photography academy. TP's story is a great example for anyone that has an interest and curiosity of learning something new but might feel intimidated or insecure to follow through. If you set your mind and heart, you will make it happen! That is how Tommy rolls.
The following is a synopsis on TP from his About section on his website www.pineapplesunrise.com
"Originally from the Chicago area, Tommy Pierucki has been a Hawaii resident since 2013. Ever since first getting on a surfboard at Baby Queens in Waikiki in the early 2000s, he’s been determined to spend the rest of his days giving back to, enjoying, and capturing the beauty of the islands and it’s amazing people. This love drew him to work with AccesSurf, a charitable organization that helps connect those with physical and/or cognitive disabilities to the ocean.
Tommy’s interest in photography first truly took hold January 2018, and since then he had been featured on the the cover of Pacific Longboarder Magazine‘s 100th issue and published in Freesurf Magazine, premiered a film in the 2019 Honolulu Museum of Art Surf Film Festival as a #RisingTide filmmaker, has been a featured artist at the Green Room and currently at Koko Marina, was requested to photograph celebrities like Tom Holland (Spider-man), Halsey, and Lily Chee as they surfed, is a Toes on the Nose ambassador, and has had his photography featured by brands like Roxy, RVCA, Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaii Magazine, Honolulu Magazine, Japan Airlines, Billabong, Carver Skateboards, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Aqua Aston, The Surfjack Hotel, Outrigger Waikiki, Coconut Waikiki, Shoreline Hotel Waikiki, Pearl Hotel Waikiki, DoubleTree Alana, AxisGo, Aquatech Imaging Solutions, Immersion Surf Magazine, Tori Richard, Hawaii Theatre, and Prana."
Thanks Tommy for your time and inspiration, thank you listeners for putting your ears on my episodes!
See you in da wata!
Enjoy!

Bill Hamilton-The Matador, Journey of a Legend.
The Longboardarian Podcast
05/08/22 • 88 min
February 2022, life takes me to Kauai, HI for a nice vacation stay in the North Shore. Few weeks prior to arrival I do a quick brainstorm session on who might be in the Hawaiian Garden Isle that could be a great guest for my podcast, maybe 15 seconds into my brainstorm session I thought "wait isn't Billy Hamilton from Kauai?!"
A quick internet search provided a phone number for Bill. I left a voicemail and 24 hours later I was speaking to the man himself, the legend, The Matador.
A date and hour was set and I had an interview with one of the most influential surfers of any generation. Surfer Magazine in 1985 mentioned BH in an article as one of "25 Surfers Whose Surfing Changed The Sport" as referenced on EOS https://eos.surf/
Unfortunately, Billy and I had some time constraints, we had an hour and change to talk months worth of surfing history, surfboard design and personal surf anecdotes. I had to cherry pick carefully what we were to talk about, what topics would my audience prefer to hear?, what questions would lead to interesting and insightful answers from a surfing legend?
The day came and I had a list of questions and topics as I usually do for my interviews and I knew the list was way too vast to conduct in an hour, so I opted anxiously, to just let the interview unfold and let it be. Well, my attempt to relax a bit and let the surf gods take care of business actually made me more stressed. I was to be dropped off at Billy's place by my party that consisted of my wife, our 7 month old baby and friends. The Crownovers sensed my tension and stress leading to the interview, because it was obvious. To give context and justify my behaviors to our non-surfing friends from the the Midwest who happen to be basketball fans, I told them I was about to interview the.....Kareem Abdul Jabbar of surfing, a legend of legends. They understood.
Upon arrival, Billy welcomed me with plenty of aloha and an ice cold brewski, good to settle down and hit the record button. We had a good conversation that I hope you guys enjoy. I had my occasional brain fart and some language speed bumps but all in all, I am stoked with our interview.
See you in da wata,
