In this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, host Tyler Breuer and co-host Paul Colbert engage in a profound discussion with Ken Lewis, a key figure in San Diego's surf, skate, and music scene. Ken Lewis has been described as a pillar in the San Diego surf/skate/music community. Ken shares his life story, from growing up as the son of a spear fisherman in La Jolla Cove to becoming a skate shop owner, Tavarua boatman, and a 30-year industry veteran. He reflects on mentorships from legends like Bird Huffman and Skip Fry, overcoming disenchantment with surfing through skateboarding, and his current surfboard rack business. He shares with us some classic stories including surfing with icons like Joel Tudor and Derek Ho, near-drowning experiences, and a transformative battle with having a stroke and managing his depression. Ken emphasizes the importance of supportive surf communities, empathy, and gratitude in his recovery. The conversation also delves into unique surf spots, evolving surfboard designs, and maintaining a balanced perspective on life and happiness. We are so stoked to have Ken on the show and hope you enjoy…
