About this episode

The episode discusses the creation of Puddle Pirate Gear and its connection to Coast Guard culture.

What started as Coast Guard ribbing, “puddle pirates,” the tongue-in-cheek nickname for near-shore ops, became something else entirely. Puddle Pirate Gear celebrates that spirit with quality tees, hoodies, and accessories that honor Coast Guard legacy, resilience, and pride while poking fun at itself. Join us as we talk to the person behind the helm about building a brand that ships Coast Guard culture beyond the pier and how he is giving back to the Service. Have a browse: 🔗 PuddlePira...
