Cold Beer Surf Club

Welcome to the Cold Beer Surf Club. Your host is none other than pro surfer, musician, gardener, boat owner, Santa Barbara lifer, and 805 Beer athlete Conner Coffin. In the inaugural episode, he kicks things off with special guest Chris Shiflett, lead guitarist for the Foo Fighters. Despite their different journeys around the globe - Conner on the Championship Tour, Chris on countless rock and roll tours - they connect over tour life, the parties and temptations of youth, the day-to-day toll on your body, and battling nerves. A fellow Santa Barbara local, Chris looks back at starting his career in the SB music scene, the bands that influenced him most, turning his passion into his profession, his first break in the punk band No Use For A Name, and how he joined Foo Fighters. Conner and Chris also nerd out on guitar gear, give some gardening tips, and relive a memorable surf session with Tom Curren and Bobby Martinez. New episodes drop monthly.

The Cold Beer Surf Club welcomes in guest Chris Malloy, surfer, filmmaker, and one-third of one of surfing’s most notable families. Host Conner Coffin and Chris dive into some of the surf movies Chris has helped create over the years, including “September Sessions” and “Thicker Than Water,” which first inspired Conner, gave him the urge to travel, and truly captured the essence of surf culture. They look back through Chris’s career in surfing and dissect the things that most set him apart, how he carved his own path, and how he charged every heavy spot from the Pipeline and Waimea Bay to Mavericks and Mullaghmore. The two surfers also discuss the responsibility of teaching kids how to go through the world, fishing trips with family, how the Central Coast of California impacted them both, and advice for today’s young surfers.

They discuss life on and off the competitive tour, Volcom House memories, and reflect on the importance of respect and what it was like as a grom to learn from the epicenter of surfing in Hawaii. They talk about what success means to them in the changing surf industry landscape, being a part of upcoming projects like Logan Dullien’s Snapt5, recovering from gnarly injuries, wearing helmets, and doing whatever it takes to come home.
