In today’s episode of The Boardroom, Scott chats with surf industry provocateur, Beach Grit co-founder, and author of the new “Cocaine + Surfing: A Sordid History of Surfing’s Greatest Love Affair”, Chas Smith. From greatest rock n’ roll drummers, to the hypocrisy of surf media, to the oxymoron of “surf journalism”, the boys discuss the fringe that so much of surf media is embarrassed by. Let us begin.
