Paul Naude dedicated Vissla to the culture and performance of surfing. He started off working in a shaping bay in South Africa while honing his surfing skills, which led to a continued career in the surfing industry, including founding South Africa’s premier surf magazine, ZigZag.
He is also the former president of Billabong’s US operations and started Vissla after a failed takeover bid of his previous company. After starting as a boutique brand, Vissla has developed into a multi-million-dollar brand!

We could all take a leaf out of this man’s book…
