Send us Fan MailToday we welcome East Coast surfing champion, author, and Virginia Beach legend Jason Borte @jborte to the Quivercast Podcast. Jason takes us back to the early ’80s when he first started surfing alongside his brother and quickly realized surfing would be a lifelong obsession. At a time when competitive surfing was one of the only ways to make a living in the sport, Jason fully committed himself to contests and the pro surfing path while going to college. From the East Coast surf scene to chasing opportunities around the country, Jason shares stories from an era when surfing culture was rapidly evolving.After college, Jason found himself writing and working for the surf industry, contributing to nearly every major surf publication along the way. He talks about the experience of writing Pipe Dreams with Kelly Slater, his journey as an author, and his newest release, How Surfing Ruined My Life. From surf journalism to now working at the Atlantic Park in Virginia Beach, you can most likely find him at the wave pool, and occasionally on an 11 foot glider surfing 1st Street. jasonborte.comSupport the showBUY THE ENDLESS SUMMER BOX SET HERE!If you like the QuiverCast here are some ways to help us keep going!I always like Coffee!Buy me a Coffee!Find Us:Website: thequivercast.comInstagram: @quiver_castFacebook: The QuiverCastSound Editing by: The Steele Collective
