In this episode, Jeff breaks down what it really takes to qualify for the tour, the highs and lows of life competing at the highest level, and why he eventually stepped away to build a new path in the surf industry — from working with major brands to creating his own, Distant Local.
Jeff also drops some serious wisdom for the next generation of surfers: surf careers don’t last forever, and who you are after the tour matters just as much as who you are on it.
This one is full of honesty, experience, and the kind of perspective only a true veteran of the sport can give.
