Todays guest is the Damian Brawner of Brawner Surfboards. Damian is San Clemente royalty, born and raised with San Clemente's best. Damian's father is Danny Brawner a famous glasser for Hobie surfboards and the drummer for the iconic surf band that provided the tunes for the legendary surf film, Bruce Brown's "Endless Summer". Damian grew up around music and Surfboards, hence their slogan "Rhythm and Resin". Damian has had a very successful career as a musician and a club promoter. But these days his focus is on community and glassing and playing music and recording...the list goes on and on. He's bringing back those old school traditional values and bringing in the young kids that are eager to learn the skills of the past. He's bringing in the community to learn techniques to grow the craft all in the name of fun. His surf shop has expanded during Covid and his Surfboards and E-Bikes are selling off the rack daily, it's hard to keep up with demand. He has a full music stage set up in the middle of his shop where they have weekly jams, they have a live stream every Thursday night. Damian is currently building a recording studio next store plus a bike repair shop....Lets just say...Damian Brawner is a busy man, and it does not look like he's slowing down anytime soon....but, its all good and its all fun. We checked in with Damian down at his surf shop in Capo Beach to talk surf, music, bikes and the future. Plus we got a very special surprise guest from "Guava Marie"!
