Ten years ago, at the age of 22, Dave Allee signed the lease to a retail space on Newport Blvd. He partnered with surfboard shaper Griffin Neumann-Kyle to launch Almond Surfboards, built in the traditional of classic California surf brands, but forward thinking and community focused. In today’s show we discuss brand building, burnout, managing growth, hunting, soft tops, Andy Nieblas, and much more. I hope you enjoy.
