Frank Solomon (@franksolomon) is one of the most well-liked people I've ever met. Every country has a couch for him to crash on, random encounters turn into lifelong friendships, and for some reason that science still can't explain, meals are always “compliments of the chef.” He's just one of those guys. Frank is a talented big wave charger, Patagonia Surf Ambassador, and now founder of Sentinel Ocean Alliance, a Cape Town-based non-profit that teaches lifesaving skills and ocean education to underprivileged kids. In this episode, we chatted about early big wave sessions at his home break, Dungeons, traveling to Mavericks and getting stuck in a youth hostel in the Tenderloin, and why growing up in South Africa offers a more honest perspective on life.

JOHANNESBURG — Cape Town-based Frank Solomon is famous around the world for being a big wave professional surfer and for having featured in a popular Red Bull film dubbed 'Let's be Frank - the double life of Frank James Solomon'. Frank has been described by some as breaking the stereotype of surfers by having never really been sponsored and having first gone to university before taking on the world's biggest waves. But he's started breaking new ground by also launching something called 'The Sentinel Ocean Alliance' - a programme which helps underprivileged kids learn more about the ocean, surfing and even enabling them to become lifeguards. In this interview, Frank tells us all about the initiative. - Gareth van Zyl

The ocean can be both a beautiful, and scary place. But imagine riding a 50-foot wave – roughly the height of a 5-story building… Today’s guest is Frank Solomon, a water-man, professional big wave surfer, Emmy award-winning filmmaker and unwitting environmentalist. We get frank with Frank about tenacity, conquering fear, being mindful, about sharing his passion for the ocean by teaching kids to surf, and how determination always triumphs.
