Description
Surfline CEO Ross Garrett joins us on The Lineup. Calling in from Nicaragua, Ross checks in with Dave to discuss his role as CEO of Surfline, what they are doing to turbo charge their product and service, and how they can refine the bleeding edge of performance. Ross highlights the ethos of discovery at Surfline and why they do what they do. He talks about the importance of staying connected to the “thing,” always making sure to take time to get in the water and surf, and reminds us of Surfline’s humble beginnings as a 1-900 hotline to having a vast network of cameras all over the globe. He reflects on his own beginnings, cutting his teeth working at Surfer Magazine under Sam George, and his own personal mission to leave surfing better than he found it. He and Dave discuss having and being mentors, remembering the innovators that paved the way, like Surfline Founder Sean Collins, and the voices of surfing today before closing up the pod, answering questions from the Instagram community and our famous Lightning Round.
