Listeners of The Boardroom Podcast that love the show mention: david lee scales, scott bass, surfing, thanks scott, line, good stuff, first episode, talking, interviews, enjoy, guests, great.
The Boardroom Podcast is an incredible show that brings together surf enthusiasts from all walks of life to share their stories and insights. The recent episode featuring David and Scott was particularly outstanding, as they shared their personal experiences and knowledge with such passion and enthusiasm. It was a true joy to hear from them and I am eagerly looking forward to the next episode.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the variety of guests that are featured. From surf legends to up-and-coming talent, there is always something new and exciting to learn about the world of surfing. The interviews are engaging and provide a deep dive into the guest's background, giving listeners a unique perspective on the sport.
Another standout feature of The Boardroom Podcast is Scott's ability as an interviewer. He has a natural curiosity that shines through in his questions, allowing the guests to truly open up and share their experiences. This creates a relaxed and authentic atmosphere that makes each episode feel like a casual conversation between friends.
However, there are some aspects of this podcast that could be improved upon. One issue I have noticed is the sound quality at times. While Scott does his best to let the guests speak freely, there have been moments where it was difficult to hear due to production issues. This can be slightly frustrating as it takes away from the overall experience.
In conclusion, The Boardroom Podcast is an exceptional show that offers incredible insight into surf culture and history. Despite some minor flaws in production quality, Scott Bass has done an outstanding job bringing together fascinating guests and allowing them to share their stories with authenticity. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in surfing or wanting to learn more about it.
“I think Randy Rarick might be the best all-around surfer in the world,” says Greg Noll. “I'm not bullshitting. He's definitely the most underrated. This guy ripped on shortboards for years. He's tremendous on a longboard. He's a master on a three-foot wave, then he'll go out at 15' Sunset and rip. Nobody's like this. Nobody! And why don't you hear about him? Because he's not a chest-thumper, man. He surfs because he's totally in love with riding waves, and he doesn't care who knows it.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As you may recall when we left part one of the Paulo Roberto Sciamarelli Surfing Village origin story - Paulo had finally found his paradise a perfect wave in front and plenty of really good waves -- rights and lefts-- all within a 5-20 minutes by boat. He had secured land, had a boat built 8 x 3 meters that's roughly 24' long and 8 feet wide. Paulo was broke and living meagerly but he was surfing and plotting the development process of his new surf camp. But as you may recall as we left in part one of this story, he had crashed his boat and his money, his passport and his return ticket out of Indonesia had all been stolen. In a matter of hours, from eating delicacies on a massive charter boat to penniless and without documents, his dream was turning bad, and it was about to get worse with jail cells, broken promises, and Indonesian immigration bureaucracy moving at a snail's pace.
