But conventional wisdom resists attempts to develop a business concept, a “brand,” around an […]
What if surfing was your daily job…?
Same waves,same beach(s), different day. The risk of skin cancer. The falling. Sand in your socks. The people hassling you for your spot on the wave. The pressure to do more sets.
