264 - Bruce Ragan of Quiet Flight Surfboards

After a three year walkabout in his mid twenties, Quiet Flight’s lead shaper Bruce Ragan returned to shaping with a revitalized passion that has fueled his craft for the past thirty years. In today’s episode he discusses the perils that face teen pro-am surfers, competing with oversized retailers in Cocoa Beach, how real estate development is ruining local waves, and the unexpected spoils of imperfection. Enjoy!
