Johnny Weissmuller nació en Freidorf, antiguo imperio austrohúngaro, hoy día Rumanía. En 1905, cuando apenas gateaba, cruzó el Atlántico rumbo a Estados Unidos con sus padres. Padeció polio y por recomendación médica para recuperarse, el pequeño Johnny se inició en la natación a los nueve años de edad. En este capítulo te contamos cómo se convirtió en uno de los mejores nadadores de su tiempo y posteriormente en estrella de Hollywood al interpretar a Tarzán en doce filmes.

For Episode 7 (S2: E7), Dr. Patrick Moser and I talk about the history of California beach culture from 1907 to 1945, as well as how one goes about writing surf history and the process of publication with a university press or a surfing magazine.

Patrick is a professor of writing and French at Drury University and he’s recently finished a biography on George Freeth, titled, Surf and Rescue: George Freeth and the Birth of California Beach Culture. Patrick was also the editor of the book Pacific Passages: An Anthology of Surf Writing.  Additionally, he’s collaborated with former surfing world champion Shaun Tomson on two books: Surfer’s Code: 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life and The Code: The Power of "I Will," all of which are featured on the surfinghistorian.com homepage.

Fred and Beyond the Ocean host, Chris Kluesener, take a trip through the history of surf culture as they look towards the future growth of the culture with regard to the impact brought by surf parks. Fred offers his first-hand accounts and behind the scene insights of iconic and defining surf culture moments as he draws comparisons and differences to what he sees happening now with the rapid development of human-made waves. 

Randy Rarick is the most interesting surfer alive. He co-founded the pro surf tour in 1976, ran the Triple Crown contest in Hawaii for over 30 years, has traveled to 170 countries and surfed in 70; being the first person to surf in several countries around the world. 

He’s been mentored by Duke Kahanamoku, shaped boards with Dick Brewer, and surfed big Waimea with Eddie Aikau. He has also shaped and restored over 12,000 surfboards and is more knowledgeable than any person alive on the history and evolution of the surfboard. 

This episode is a fascinating lesson on surf history, philosophy, travel, race, and empathy told through one front row seat story after another.

Legend of legends, Mr. Dick Metz. Born in 1929, raised and groomed in Laguna Beach, CA. I am pretty certain that Dick is the oldest active accomplished surf entrepreneur, surf traveler, historian, preservationist and adrenaline junkie out there. At 90 years old, I was impressed with Dick's sharp mind and ability to https://shacc.org his past. Every other sentence he would say something that popped my eyes wide open.
 This man has a long list of successes and experiences that make him, in my mind, a true godfather of surfing.
He is probably best known for being the Co-founder of Hobie Surf Shops throughout the US, however he was and still is very much an entrepreneur and an adventurer. He managed and started many businesses throughout his life including investing in real estate. He still goes out in the ocean and the mountains for skiing or dirt bike riding.
Inadvertently , he served as a surf location surf scout when his surf travels in the 50's to places like Africa helped Bruce Brown's Endless Summer Movie in regards to shoot locations.
He now spends many of his hours contributing to his museum Surfing Heritage and Cultural Center. A must visit to any surf nerd or surf history buff. Check their website at https://shacc.org
