Jay and family

Great job on the podcast Donald.This has been such an inspirational space , especially for me as a new surfer falling in love and finding a passion for the act of surfing as well as the culture with my partner and our daughter. You do a killer job of making us not feel so crazy about our passion for it when we hear what surfing is to you and how much of an impact it has had on your formative years along with your day to day inspiration. Just wanted to say thank you for the wise words and how it speaks to me and my family. We will continue to share with others and hope to hear more content soon. Also I just bought my first surf board and would love to hear from a shaper on how to take proper care of your board. Thanks again and keep up the good work

I’ve been listening to surf splendor for quite a while now and this new addition to the network will be very welcome. Donald Brink brings a fresh new take on many things, I wish I had one of the surfboards and I look forward to hearing more.

Having a platform for Donny to share his passion, ideas, and knowledge of not only surfboards... but life, is something that people have been missing (wether they know it or not). Can’t wait to hear all the future podcasts to come. Must listen.
