EP 21: SHANE DORIAN – Being the first to paddle big Jaws, Pushing the limits at Pipe, Managing risk and reward, & Considers a potential Fiji strike mission

Big wave legend and Momentum Generation icon Shane Dorian joins the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club with Conner Coffin to reflect on his career, the evolution of the sport, and the mindset required to face some of the ocean’s most dangerous conditions. Recording from Hawai’i, Dorian shares his experience chasing massive swells and what it feels like to send it over the ledge at Jaws. Shane and Conner explore the balance between fear and focus, the importance of preparation, the evolution of safety in the sport, and how the culture of big wave surfing has changed over time. Dorian knows he still has the ability to charge and is more selective of his strike missions as a father… but mentions he considers returning to Fiji if the right swell and time lines up.

EP 20: MARK HEALEY – His Gnarliest Wipeout, Overcoming Big Wave Fear, North Shore Grom Stories & Life as a Modern Waterman

Hawaiian waterman, big wave charger, and all-around ocean athlete Mark Healey joins the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club to talk story about growing up on the North Shore, charging some of the heaviest waves on the planet, and the mindset it takes to live a life in the ocean. Healey reflects on what the North Shore was like during his early years and how he went on to become one of the most respected big wave surfers in the world, known for his fearless approach at spots like Jaws, Cloudbreak, and Pipeline and his ability to thrive in the most extreme ocean conditions. In this episode, Mark opens up about the realities of big wave surfing—the preparation, the fear, and the mental focus required when the stakes are high. He also shares stories about learning from the North Shore’s heavy-hitting generation and how those influences helped shape his approach not only to surfing, but to life in the water. Beyond surfing, Healey dives into his passion for spearfishing, hunting, and living as a true modern waterman, whether he’s paddling into giant surf, free diving deep reefs, or spending time off the grid.

EP 17: TODD GLASER – 15+ years of shooting with Kelly Slater, Traveling with Jack Johnson, September Sessions & Thicker Than Water, Becoming a new dad, Dads on Tour, Life as a pro bodyboarder, and A Life of Waves

Todd Glaser is a world-renowned surf photographer, surfer, waterman, and longtime friend of Conner Coffin. In this episode of the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club, the two share a deep and nostalgic conversation that traces a lifetime spent chasing waves, images, and meaning, diving into what it’s like balancing the beautiful chaos of parenthood with a career built on sprinting toward storms and swimming into heavy lineups with only a camera in hand. Todd reflects on growing up in San Diego, learning photography through bodyboarding, and discovering his craft the old-school way – shooting film, logging detailed swell notes, mailing rolls to labs, and hoping the shots came out. He and Conner revisit Todd’s leap from surf-shop grom to Brooks Institute student to traveling full-time with Kelly Slater as one of the most respected lensmen in the game. They share stories from their years on the road together, early Surfer and Surfing assignments, and the image that led to Todd’s first cover and changed the trajectory of his career. They chat about iconic sessions in Tahiti, how Jack Johnson shot every frame of September Sessions, as well as Todd’s 15-plus years traveling with Kelly, a partnership that grew into deep friendship and a new book documenting the journey. Todd opens up about how becoming a parent and slowing down travel has reshaped his approach to both surfing and photography, and why keeping things simple, staying curious, and seeking authentic moments behind the lens still guide everything he does.
