In this episode, get to know the man behind the world's best surfing helmets—Terry Simms, the founder of Simba Surf, where he shares what inspired him to create the helmet, how he made it, and the many benefits it gives to all surfers of any age.

Some of the helmet’s benefits include fostering long and healthy surfing lives for everyone and protect us from the damaging effects of long-term exposure to sun, wind, and water.

Terry also takes us back to the 60s and 70s by sharing the start of his surfing journey until he became a pro longboarder and his experience being with some of the legendary surfers during that time.
