Our latest run of Surf Stories Podcast episodes spans an eclectic mix of guests from across the surf world. Retired U.S. Navy Command Master Chief Jeff Easson — a Canadian transplant turned Daytona-area surfer who traded hockey for waves as a kid in Ormond Beach — joins John Brooks and Kevin Miller to talk about his 30-year military career and path from ESA/SSA competitor to senior enlisted leadership.

Eric "Lark" Geiselman, the third Geiselman brother to sit down with the show, discusses his New Smyrna Beach roots, his 2007 Surfer Poll Award, and his evolution from competitive standout to one of freesurfing's most versatile talents and a growing name in foiling.

Renowned visual storyteller Morgan Maassen shares how an injury pulled him off his board in Santa Barbara and behind a camera instead, launching a career that's taken his signature slow-shutter style to National Geographic, The New York Times, and campaigns for brands like Apple and Patagonia — plus his history with FSFF dating back to a 2015 photography workshop.

And Milan-based filmmaker Luca Merli rounds out the group, offering a look at two decades spent chronicling Italian surf culture through his Block10 and Onde Nostre projects, his globally distributed films like Peninsula and Nausicaa, and his role co-founding Milan's Skate & Surf Film Festival. Catch all four conversations on the Surf Stories Podcast.
