Brother talks about getting his first board at 6 years old and how much he looked up to Mason Ho, who was full-on doing contests at the time. He tells me about being a grom and meeting Taj Burrow right around the time of his 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑗 movie, and how stoked he was when Taj remembered his name, Kolohe. Brother won 9 NSSA titles and 5 U.S. Championships before making the CT at 17 years old, surfing against Taj Burrow, Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning, and Kelly Slater right out of the gate. Meanwhile, his peers John John Florence and Gabriel Medina were already on tour killing it. He did the tour for well over a decade. I asked him about his film 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑘𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐼𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 and some of his latest surf-porn projects, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑡ℎ, 𝑆𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑐ℎ, and 𝐻𝑖𝑗𝑖𝑛𝑥. He tells me his top five favorite surfers of all time and the names of the groms he sees blowing up nowadays, kids like King Nicol, Zion Walla, Moses Hennings, Henry Mullin, and Hayden Rodgers. Nowadays, he’s raising his family, he just had his third kid, runs his brand Steko, and surfs every day, considering surfing is his medicine.

After a few weeks of navigating our busy Southern California lifestyles, we finally set a date and time for Nate's episode. But on the morning of, Nate found himself within striking distance of a crazed gunman running around all koo-koo for Cocoa Puffs, smack dab in the center of what is normally our quiet little beach town. Naturally, affected by the incident, as anyone would be, Nate rings me up a bit frazzled and floats the idea of a possible rescheduling. What ensues here is the episode we recorded literally an hour after that freak show with the gun. I explained to Nate, “Why don’t we just run with the energy of the morning and get in the studio straightaway, Mr.?” So, he sucked it up like the rad human that he is, and we got to it. Without further ado, let me introduce to you, my super-cool, surf-crazed, thriving-on-life audience, Nate Yeomans’ episode, where Nate will proceed to tell us all about his morning and so much more. Oh, and there's even a special appearance by the elusive Nasty Nate. But don’t tell anyone I said so. Ha ha!

Cameron Steele is a busy man, to put it mildly. As he says, “Jack of all trades, master of none.”Between his race team, Desert Assassins, his company, Baja HQ, and hosting various off-road racing TV shows, he’s definitely got his hands full. But let’s go back to the beginning. His mom always loved the beach and started taking him there when he was knee-high to a grasshopper. His dad had him out on a motocross bike by the time he was five years old. With his love for the beach and the ocean, he became a pro boogie boarder at a time when the sport was blowing up. He and his friend Keith Sasaki, along with a few others, were showing the world what could be done on what we surfers call a “sponge.” At one point, though, Cameron put down the boogie board and began racing motocross. From there, it was a natural evolution into racing unlimited trucks, something he’s now been doing for over two decades. Throw in hosting gigs for ESPN and just about any network willing to “play ball” with these dirt mongrels, and you could say he’s been off to the races ever since. He tells me that no matter the sport, boogie boarding, motocross, or off-road racing, he’s always competed to win. He raced Supercross at Anaheim Stadium in 1992 and, as he says, “Here I am 22 years later, still racing unlimited trucks at the highest level.” Cameron shared that they’ve already won two races this year, and it’s clear he’s found his greatest athletic success in off-road racing. He also shared his top five favorite surfers of all time, and yes, I even managed to get him to name his top five favorite skaters, too. Such a cool episode, and I’m confident anyone who listens will be inspired, because Cameron’s story is nothing short of inspiring.

David Elecciri was born into a house where both parents were really into music. There were guitars, a piano, drum set and record player playing all kinds of music. Jazz, blues, rock, reggae, swing jazz and country. Being of Mexican descent there was lots of old Spanish records and mariachi music as he explains "all the good stuff from Mexico." He knew from a very young age that he wanted to make it as a musician. His dad was a football coach and David loved playing the game along with surfing, so he was growing up into music, football and surfing here in the coolest little beach town this side of Coolangatta. He gives all love and respect to his parents who always supported him following his dreams and pursuits. He grew up with Wardo and they are still close to this day. Seeing Chris ripping at such a young age along with the Fletchers, Justin Mattison and Robo were all huge inspirations. But as much as he loved surfing, he realized early on that a career in pro surfing wasn't his destiny. So, he set his sights on the NFL or becoming a professional musician and here we are three decades after high school and not only is he a professional musician, but he plays guitar and sings in one of the world's most prominent and respected reggae bands, Steel Pulse. Honestly, it couldn't have happened to a nicer dude. David Elecciri aka David Electric is one of the most positive soulful characters you will ever meet. If you want to discover how David went from being a music loving football playing surfed out grom to being in one of the most iconic reggae bands on the planet then check out episode 21 and enjoy the ride my friends. On this episode, you will see his new song and surf themed music video he did with the Colapinto Brothers, Cole Houshmand, Kade Matson and Jett Schilling titled "Pulling Up For The Champions".

On this weeks episode, Timmy Patterson talks about his dad moving from Oahu to San Diego in 1956/57, becoming part of the Windansea crew, and then eventually moving up to Dana Point. He got a job at Hobie Surfboards, and at one point, Timmy’s dad and both his uncles were sanding, laminating, and doing pin lines at the Hobie factory. Timmy was born and raised in Dana Point and to this day, he still lives literally ten houses from where he grew up, which I gotta say, is so cool. He grew up surfing Doheny and Poche and shaped his first surfboard in the family garage in 1979. He got that first blank from Brad Basham; in the same building Timmy has now worked out of for 30 years. He talks about shaping for Christian, Archy, and Dino back in the day, and how much he loves every aspect of surfboard production from start to finish all the way down to the lost art of glass-on fins. He shares how he quit working at Hobie to go work for Chris McElroy, and we also dive into all the talent that came out of San Clemente both surfers and shapers. We talk about Randy Sleigh, and how he and Chris McElroy were absolute rock star shapers. We also talk about Timmy’s riders today, including World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Italo Ferreira, and Alan Cleland Jr., along with so many other talents from this hotbed of surfing like Kolohe, Griff, Crosby, Cole, and more. I asked him about his top five surfers of all time, and we talk about the classic, highly influential surf flick Free Ride and the impact it had on all of us at the time. He tells me stories about his grandpa shaping boards in the 1940s, stories Walter Hoffman passed down to him. And now, Timmy’s son Keone is shaping alongside him, making it four generations of surfboard builders. Such a legacy, such a Patterson family tradition. He talks about traveling the world with his son, shaping boards in places like the Canary Islands, Portugal, Brazil, Bali, and Hawaii. And, of course, we talk about seeing the stoke in the eyes of the groms and how he wants to keep that stoke alive by surfing and shaping every single day. For Timmy Patterson, it’s all about sharing the stoke and I gotta say, I couldn’t be more stoked to share this episode with you, my friends.

I have the one, the only, the original real deal, often imitated, never regulated, artist extraordinaire, Mr. Roy Gonzales, on my show, and I couldn't be more stoked. I’ve done almost 20 episodes so far of "Talk To The Dr." and I’ve been having so much fun rappin' out with so many cool characters. But ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, freaks, geeks, legends, and weirdos... this episode is one for the ages, my friends. We dive straight into a free-flowing rant that covers everything from his memories of my high school wardrobe choices to the roots of Have A Chips and the Hare Krishna days in Laguna Beach. Roy talks about chatting with God, and how God talks back like when he tells you to paddle back out after a wipeout. Because if you don’t, you won’t catch any more waves. It’s as simple as that… and Roy ties that to life’s ups and downs in the most metaphorical, meaningful way. Such cool stuff and I’m literally having so much fun; it doesn’t even seem fair that I get to do this for my job. But like they say (whoever they are), someone’s gotta do it... right? Let me put it this way: we talk about so much, and rather than try to pen a literal show description here in this space, let me simply ask you to take a moment. Slow down a bit, kick back, and take this ride with me as we bring you Part 1 of my chat with one of San Clemente’s most creative, humorous, intelligent, and truly classic characters this town has ever produced.

On this weeks episode we sit down with Hans Sylstra. We talk about his family coming to San Clemente in 1926, and how he was on the beach at T-Street when he was literally two days old. His dad gave him his first surfboard, a 6'6" Midget Smith single fin. He grew up playing soccer and baseball, but once he discovered surfing, it was all over. His mom's good friend married Al Merrick, and their families became super tight. That’s when Tom Curren entered the picture and a close friendship developed between Tom and Hans. In fact, it was Tom who first inspired Hans to pick up a guitar. And if you’ve ever seen Hans surf, Tom’s influence is clear. Hans is a smooth, stylish flow-master with a graceful, soulful approach to a wave. We talk about surf travels to Mexico, Hawaii, and Australia. He shares a great story about hitchhiking in Oz and none other than Cheyne Horan pulled over to give him a ride somewhere outside of Byron Bay. Shifting to music, Hans picked up a guitar and found one of his life’s great passions. He formed his first band, Seal Rock, with childhood best friends Matt Hamilton, Gavin Day, and Derek Harris. They played everything from beach parties to clubs, an incredible time in his life filled with surfing, playing music, and traveling with his bandmates to Puerto Escondido and beyond. His next music project was a duo with his wife, Janine, who sang and played drums while Hans played guitar and sang. Today, he’s still doing much the same, surfing and playing music. Living life. Loving life. Check out the full episode on our Youtube channel www.youtube.com/@twinpalmsentertainment949 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/talktothedoctor/
