In this episode Christian and I talk to Sam Griffiths.
Sam is a passionate surfer who pursued a career in the surf industry. He started his time in the industry at Rip Curl on the back of his love for surfboards and spent time developing their board program.
When the opportunity to be a team manager a Quiksilver presented itself, he jumped on it. It was a great career choice for a person who is very personable and has a desire to help others succeed. He held that role for many years before being promoted to a marketing manager role.
Professional surfing has taken many twists and turns since the middle of 2023. The value of professional surfing has been reevaluated and the value of professional surfers is also under the microscope. Many surfers have had their contracts terminated or reduced.
This was a great insight into what aspiring surfers should focus on, the support major brands can supply and is 'Force de majeure' still a part of athlete's contracts post 'COVID'?.
