Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Conversations at CARV Expo_Val Surf_ On the Beach Surfshop_Hawaiian Island Creations
Q: How did the Carve Expo experience influence the guests' view of local surf shops?
It reinforced the idea that local surf shops are living communities that foster mentorship, heritage, and hands-on involvement with customers and athletes, not just points of sale.
A conversation with Luke Wallace and Todd Prestage_FLOWSTATE
Q: What problem does Flowstate solve for surfers and venues?
Flowstate provides automated video capture, analysis, and coaching tools that give athletes immediate feedback, help coaches, and create a media archive for competitions and training.
A conversation with Zac Backlin_SURF DRY
Q: What potential beyond wetsuits does Surf Dry have?
The concept can be extended to a wide range of damp gear beyond wetsuits, including booties, gloves, jackets, and even gear for snow and golf. They're exploring versions like Snow Dry and Golf Dry, anticipating a broader market where moisture control and hygiene matter, such as ski trips, golf clubs, and other outdoor activities.
A conversation with Zac Backlin_SURF DRY
Q: What were the early tests and challenges in turning Surf Dry into a business?
Early tests relied on friends and family as testers, with the inventor emphasizing low-cost prototyping, listening to feedback, and focusing on a single clear benefit. The biggest challenges were convincing retailers and partners of the product's value, protecting intellectual property, and navigating the logistics of production and distribution after bootstrapping the venture.
A conversation with Zac Backlin_SURF DRY
Q: How did the idea for Surf Dry originate and evolve into a product?
The idea came from a personal need to solve the never-ending problem of smelly wetsuits and booties. After observing the issue at home, the founder experimented with off-the-shelf components and simple airflow technology, iterating in a garage until it delivered noticeable, repeatable results. From there, he pursued IP protection and began working with retailers to validate demand, gradually expanding to multiple versions and broader applications.
