Episode Title: Riding Waves and Beats with Thes One (Christopher Portugal)
In this episode of The Quivercast, we sit down with Thes One, aka Christopher Portugal @piecelock70, a multi-talented surfer, rapper, hip-hop artist, and record producer. Growing up in the vibrant yet gritty town of San Pedro, Thes was introduced to surfing by his uncle, igniting a lifelong passion for the ocean. At the same time, he discovered his love for music, which eventually led him to co-found the iconic rap group, People Under the Stairs. Surfing in San Pedro wasn’t always easy—its localized breaks and colorful characters made for a challenging lineup, especially for outsiders. But this unique environment shaped Thes, leaving an indelible mark on both his surfing and his music.
While his music career took center stage for much of his early adult life, the ocean never stopped calling. Thes eventually returned to his hometown, rekindling his relationship with surfing and finding balance between his two passions. Now, whether he's on tour or traveling the globe, he makes time to chase waves and soak in the stoke of surf culture. Tune in as Thes shares his journey of navigating the intersections of music, surf, and creativity, and how these passions continue to shape his life today.
