2 legends of the sport kind of in the same place is unreal. Had a service call at Danny's house, super humble and time traveled back to 80's about bodyboarding 🙌🙌🙌🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Great interview! It was always cool seeing Danny in the magazine, always just bringing something a little different to the table. I remember the ad where he was surfing wearing Airwalk shoes 😂
Great podcast. Thoroughly enjoyable as always. I picked up a Danny Kim signature BSD a few years ago. It is so much fun to ride Drop knee. Hope they keep making em. Cheers from chilly Cornwall.
Interesting discussion at the end. I think bodyboarders make better lifesavers/lifeguards in general because they’re constantly exposing themselves to the conditions and heading back out, as opposed to any formal routine centered around pool based swimming competition. A bunch do go out for junior guards, which informs them with necessary skills development, and the beginning of a first responder perspective.
Fun Danny Kim story. Late 80s hanging out a tstreet. All kinds of Boogie all stars in the water and on the beach. Danny gets a wave and looses his board. Someone from the crew grabbed his board and buries it in the sand. Danny walks up and down the beach 10 times looking for his board while the crew is laughing their asses off. Finally someone tells danny that some kid on the beach took it it and danny walks up to the kid all mad wanting his board. Danny was super ripped so he was kinda intimidating to a grom. That kid was future MMA fighter Erik Apple who was like 15 at the time. Danny finally figured out he was being pranked and was like haha retrieved his board and went back out. He handled it well. Super cool guy from the few interactions I had with him as a grom.
That is a classic story! Danny getting hazed by the T Street Crew...it was a rite of passage back in those days. We all went through it. God knows I did! Check my interviews with Sasaki and Steele...the stories are all there!
A couple of local boys took us to makua beach back in 91, first time we went there they told us we couldn’t even get out of the car because it was a weekend and there was some crazy locals there that would punish them for bringing in outsiders. We came back a few day’s later and were able to surf there as there was no crowd. We spoke with some other young guys on the north shore where we had surfed and they said how lucky we were to surf at that spot as they were told to forget about surfing I don’t knows.

his signature all stick BZ board is a unicorn. Wonder how many of those are still in existence.
I've been trying to get the community to reprint that board. And make Dannys board in 40 inch for groms.
Att: NORM 🫵😇
I’ve got #952! The construction is amazing. It almost seems more like a spaceship from the future than a bodyboard!
@@robbeaton that belongs in the smithsonian.

Awesome 😎 Was Chris Taloa earlier than Danny?
No, Danny was early on, before Chris, but there were other standup riders before Danny. We mention this in the podcast!
@ Just so much info to process! I’ll keep watching 🙂
