EP 231: Sam George - His latest book, Child of Storms: A Surfing Memoir in Progress, the Stories that shaped his life, Completing his ‘Identity Project,’ the ‘Carthartic’ experience of writing through his divorce, and More

In this reflective and wildly entertaining episode, legendary
surfer, writer, and director Sam George joins The Lineup to unpack
over five decades of chasing waves, meaning, and himself. With the
release of his memoir Child of Storms: A Surfing Memoir, In
Progress, Sam shares the stories behind the stories—how a lifetime
of surfing became a mosaic of moments that transcended simply
riding waves. He opens up about everything from the formative sting
of Dave Parmenter's tough love to the rare swagger of Tom Carroll,
and the soul-searching honesty of writing about a failed marriage
and cancer journey with his ex-wife. The duo discuss surf identity,
travel, and the thrill of never feeling like you’ve worked a day
when surfing is the job, and much more. Follow Sam here. Order
