William Finnegan: talking about Barbarian Days

For the lates episode I am very happy to announce a very
special guest, who’s book I have read last year. A book that
caught me from the first paragraph and that was so different from
everything else that I have read about surfing until then.

I am talking about William Finnegan the author the wonderful
piece barbarian days, with whom I sat down in Berlin during the
Surffilm-Festival Berlin (organised by last weekend, having a
pizza, a lemonade and a very nice conversation about his book and
therefore about his life of writing and
surfing. 

Subjects we were talking about:





• How it came to the idea for Barbarian
Days


• Lifestyle of Traveling compared to living in New
York


• The development of Surfing in general
(commercialisation etc.)
• Did his life changed after winning the Pulitzer Price?
• The meaning of the ocean
• Filled line ups due to publications
• Literature / Writers that did inspire William Finnegan
• Spirituality
• and more...
