    Tour. With multiple career victories including the prestigious 1984 Pipeline Masters! In

    purpose in life was more than just winning Pipe Masters and that his Best has yet to

    come!!! For the last has 30 years he has been balancing both careers as Coach for the

    USA World Amateur Champion Team and others, as well as being a full-time Pastor, a

    guest speaker, an author, and a mentor focusing on our youth! From being on the top

    of Pro-Surfing, to opening Calvary Chapel Churches, to eventually starting his own

    Church “Worship Generations” his story isn’t finished! We are beyond honored and

    pumped to sit down with the Legendary Mr. Joey “THE CALIFORNIA KID” Buran!

    A conversation with Luke "CEEDY" Cederman : RAGLAN SURF REPORT

    Our guest this week a New Zealand Bloke that has made a name for himself in the water

    because he F'N RIPS and has really taken the surf scene by storm on the World Wide Web. But,

    unlike all the other internet sensations of Pro Surfers making a living from Youtube and

    Vlogging with sick POV barrel clips, charging GINORMOUS waves, or novelty Surfing. He has

    taken a totally different approach with his hilarious stereotype skits, satire parodies, and

    cleverness to poke fun at everything to do with Surfing. We are huge fans and so STO-KED to sit

    down with the one and only, Luke “CEEDY” Cederman The Raglan Surf Report!!
