This is Andrew Schulz, a stand-up comedian, podcast host, and most importantly, a surfer. As far as our typical interviewees are concerned, he doesn’t exactly fit the bill. No board sponsors, no insane edit, and no dreams of qualifying for the CT. Just a normal guy with a rekindled passion for riding waves.

Andrew grew up surfing off the coast of Fire Island, New York. Despite your preconceived notions about celebrities and surfing, his surf background holds water.  Mr. Schulz recounts memories of …Lost’s 5’5 x 19 1/4, barrel lessons from Rob Kelly, Kevin Schulz, and the Geiselman’s in Waco, plus a recent near-death surfing experience in Hawaii.

While Andrew’s ability on a surfboard may not grab your attention, his stories will. Listen here.
