Stevie Sawyer- South Africa's World Longboard Champ.

The Longboardarian Podcast

On this episode we sit down with Señor Stevie Sawyer. Born and raised in majestic Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa, It is there where this World Champ learned to surf and become the man he is today.
As usual, I had many questions for this surfer/musician phenom who happens to be the WSL 2018 World Longboard Champion.
I was very interested in tapping into his mind with a variety of topics. Stevie has been on the Longboard Tour since 2015. In 2019 there was a major shift in regards to the judging criteria being used in the Tour. That pretty much led to a facelift or a restructuring, led by Tour Director Devon Howard, of these series of contests. As a competitor Stevie has been in the middle of that restructuring. I wanted to know how he felt about those changes. Stevie comes from a "Modern Hi-Pro LB" background of longboard surfing and The Tour has now implemented a traditional or classic judging criteria into all their events.
Stevie is an accomplished musician, fisherman, shaper, community activist, family man and very proud of being a South African.
Enjoy!
