In Episode 13 of the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club, professional surfer and host Conner Coffin sits down with legendary surf filmmaker and Newport Beach fixture Logan “Chucky” Dulien for an unforgettable conversation that dives deep into surf culture, filmmaking, and a real-life crime saga that rattled the Southern California surf community. Logan recounts his roots working at the iconic Frog House and managing the RVCA surf team before turning to film, where his Snapt series became a proving ground for some of the sport’s most explosive talents. With the U.S. premiere of Snapt5 just weeks away at the US Open of Surfing, Logan opens up about the years-long grind behind the project, including the personal toll, from burnout to the end of his marriage, and why this might be the final chapter of the franchise. He also details the harrowing experience of being robbed during filming and how he took matters into his own hands, teaming up with Newport Beach PD and using social media to help build a case that led to the arrest of three suspects in a theft ring that targeted surfers for millions of dollars. From working with CT surfers and Brazilian up-and-comers to reflecting on the legacy of Taylor Steele and the evolution of surf content, Logan shares unfiltered wisdom and wild stories from a life spent behind the lens and deep in the surf scene.
