McHenry Jackson grew up in Folly Beach, South Carolina, surfing every chance he got. Now, he spends months at a time living on boats as a seafloor mapper, exploring the ocean for work and surfing whenever he can. When he’s not working, he’s surfing in places like South Africa, Panama, and Hawaii. This August, he’s making the big move to Hawaii to fully dive into the surf lifestyle.
In this episode, McHenry talks about what life is really like living at sea for months, what he actually does as a sea floor mapper, and his experiences surfing in some of the world’s most incredible spots. He shares stories of surfing in great white shark territory in South Africa, his most unforgettable surf trips, and why now is always the best time to go after the life you want.
