Conner Coffin cracks open a cold one with longtime friend, fellow pro surfer, and eternal frother Dane Gudauskas in this episode of the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club. What starts as a laid-back chat over a zesty 805 Cerveza quickly flows into nostalgia, untold stories, and thoughtful reflections on life after the tour. The two reminisce about dreamy trips to Cloudbreak, breakdown the mentality necessary to succeed on tour, muse over the insane progression of surfing, and dive into the changes in life since becoming dads. Dane opens up about the deep-rooted friendships forged on tour, growing up in San Clemente with his brothers, making the move to Ventura, and working with Britt Merrick on crafting new models with Channel Islands Surfboards. He reveals his surfing inspirations in Nathan Fletcher, Joel Tudor, Skip Frye, Tom Curren, Gavin Beschen, and how an Indo surf trip with Dave Rastovich transformed how he saw surfing. Dane discusses the latest with his important work with Positive Vibe Warriors and the impact his board drives with Native Like Water make to inner-city communities. New episodes drop every month.
