Shane Arana

Welcome to on my own dime! Today I'm talking with Shane Arana about growing up in Northern California surfing in Point Arena. Shane is a good friend of mine that I met in the Coast Guard and he introduced me to the sport because I wouldn't stop asking him to teach me. For the record, I am very much a beginner to surfing so let there be no deception about my skills, they are very underwhelming. Shane however, is gifted and remarkably authentic which is a topic we will discuss in today's episode. Shane will share some perspective on Localism, insight on the different surf communities along the west coast, and details on his trip to cloud break off the island of Tavarua, Fiji.
