Family Crest

Along with undeniable talent and a love for the water, another thread connects the world’s top surfers: a supportive family figure. Host Peter Flax, editor-in-chief of the Red Bulletin magazine, takes us on the wild journey of generational athleticism in the new podcast series Family Crest: Surf’s Up. “Family dynamics are always fascinating, and, in this case, there’s a lot to chew on,” says Flax. From Hawaii to Daytona Beach and big waves to short boards, this series explores the sacrifices, world travel and familial network behind some of today’s most competitive surfers.
