EP 10: EITHAN OSBORNE - Winning STAB High Japan, Surfing Natural Selection, Free surfing vs heat surfing, Working with Dane Reynolds and the Chapter 11 crew, SKINNY MEAT HEAD, Injuries, and torture from the Gympie-Gympie plant

The 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club is back with the one and only Eithan Osborne! The fearless aerialist and one of surfing’s most electrifying talents joins Conner Coffin in the new home for CBSC - Conner’s garage. From winning STAB High Japan 2024, to filming his profile piece, SKINNY MEAT HEAD, with Dane Reynolds and Chapter 11, to tackling the first-ever Natural Selection Tour, Eithan takes us behind the curtain on a whirlwind of a year. He breaks down the mental game of heats vs. free surfing, what it takes to rise through the ranks, and how to keep charging—even while surfing through gnarly injuries, shoulder dislocations, a torn meniscus, and a broken toe. Eithan shares wild tales from the road, including an unbelievable experience with legendary boat captain Martin Daly that starts with a boat collision and ends with Martin diving in himself to repair the boat. Eithan also reveals the most painful and traumatizing injury of his life: a brush with the notorious Gympie plant. They dive into growing up surfing in the 805 and Ventura County with Dane Reynolds, Bobby Martinez, and Tom Curren as their heroes, and how those roots shaped Eithan’s approach to surfing and life.
