Harbour Surfboards was my home surf shop growing up, so you can imagine the honor it was for me to record this conversation with Rich Harbour in 2013. His passing 10 days ago has left a vacuum in the community, but his imprint is worldwide and his influence is immeasurable. Today, Rich tells me about his early experiences working with a revolutionary new material, polyurethane foam, growing and evolving a business for more than half a decade, and the importance of small business. Enjoy! ~ David Scales
