Shapers are often referred to as artists or craftsmen. Both would be accurate. A shaper is in every sense of the word a creator as well.. Not just of an object, but of an emotion, as after all, what other inanimate object can bring the joy of a well crafted surfboard. Matty Raynor is a master at that craft. But calling him a artist, hell even a master craftsman would be a very limiting description of this modern day renaissance man. Along with those titles would come father, surfer, amateur fighter, business owner, the guys got a lot cooking. We flew over to Hawaii to spend some time with Matty, as a fly on the wall in his shaping bay...

Summer is here...Time for a road trip! In the spirit of a season meant for exploration and the open road, we sat down with Drew Martin, a man that has built his career around life on the highway. We sat down with the modern day Ansel Adams and talked photography, happiness, and survival south of the border.

While on a recent photo shoot, it dawned on us, that both models and photographers have very interesting professions. We thought it may make and interesting episode to pick the brains of both sides of a photo shoot. The photographer and the model… and in this episode's case, model/artist! Join us on a sit down with photographer Julian Martin and the beautiful and talented Alina Scherbakova.

Tequila and the American Dream... Our latest podcast focuses on just that, as we pick the brain of entrepreneur and Los Sundays founder, Mitch Hayes. We chatted with Mitch on starting a tequila brand, adventures south of the border, and run-ins with the law.

Our next episode of Alive, took us to the beautiful island of Oahu, where we sat down with modern day renaissance man, Alex Smith. We dove deep into his brain to discuss world travel, mankind's search for inner wellness and of course, slinging coffees. The result was enlightening.
