Stab Podcast: The Man Behind Surfing’s Hardest Hardware Brand

This week on the podcast, we hear from Teva Dexter, founder of the enigmatic Blak Bear Surf Club.

“Marlon Brando had a lot of kids,” says Teva. “If you go out in Tahiti, and you see a good looking girl, chances are she’s a descendent of Marlon Brando.”

We also discuss the best edit of the year (and some existential questions) from LOB. 

“This is the smartest Stab Edit Of The Year,” says Buck. 

“It blew my fucking mind,” says Mikey. “I’ve been out at Off The Wall with him, and when rogue sets come through, he’s the only guy that doesn’t even think, and just goes on them. The only time he surfs Pipe is when it’s maxing out and there’s nobody else out there.”
