The Boardroom Podcast

For most of surfing's history, surfboards weren't precious.
They were dragged across parking lots... repaired with whatever resin was on hand... ridden until they snapped... and then replaced.

But somewhere along the way, something changed.

"I think Randy Rarick might be the best all-around surfer in the world," says Greg Noll. "I'm not bullshitting. He's definitely the most underrated. This guy ripped on shortboards for years. He's tremendous on a longboard. He's a master on a three-foot wave, then he'll go out at 15' Sunset and rip. Nobody's like this. Nobody! And why don't you hear about him? Because he's not a chest-thumper, man. He surfs because he's totally in love with riding waves, and he doesn't care who knows it."
