If your hobbies include surfing and procreating, it’s a given that you’d want your kin to surf. 

But would you want them to surf professionally

While pursuing a leadership role at your local Burget King may be more financially desirable, the degenerate charm of pro surfing can be too much for some to resist. 

And let’s be honest: Some kids just fall into it. Never hurts if your dad is one of the most widely respected and adored surfers of his era.

Billabong just launched a new podcast series with the French duo ‘Impact Zone.’ It’s called Bloodlines — a nod to the brand’s longstanding tradition of youth initiatives — and focuses on the relationship between fathers and sons who happen to fucking rip and (mostly) get paid for it. 

While the Impact Zone boys might not carry the same clout as Joe Rogan, Shane and Jackson were still gracious with their time and spoke for over an hour about life, surfing, their relationship, and how all those things intersect.

Coincidentally (or maybe not), they recorded it the day after Jackson’s 18th birthday. It’s a great listen whether you’re a parent, a child, or even an incel. 

Highlights include: Shane talking about becoming a father while juggling risk and reward as one of the world’s hardest-charging surfers, 

Jackson. Always wanted him to surf. Never imagined him being a pro surfer. 

Bloodlines is a four-part series with more coming.
