  • I Heard There Were No Waves in New Jersey with Mike May, Danny DiMauro & Mark Neustadter

    I Heard There Were No Waves in New Jersey with Mike May, Danny DiMauro & Mark Neustadter
    May 2 2024
    Often overlooked for the warmer waters of its Hawaiian and Californian counterparts, the Atlantic coast of New Jersey has been home to surfing for 135 years, and in turn has held unsung influence over the history of the sport in America. - Danny DiMauro and Johan Kugelberg.

    Our Guests today are the contributors to the latest book from Rizzoli Publishing aptly names: I Heard There Were No Waves in New Jersey: Surfing on the Jersey Shore 1888-1984”. It's a beautiful book and tribute to New Jersey Surfing.

    Our guests for this episode is one of the editors and former guest, Danny DiMauro. We also introduce New Jersey surf legend, and infamous Surf Industry Sales Rep, Mark Neustadter.
    We also have former Atlantic City Heavy, Mike May. May is a founding Member of the NJ surfing Hall of Fame and wrote the definitive story on Duke Kahanamoku protege, Sam Reid.

    All of them have contributed to this beautiful book. Drawing upon archives of photographs and ephemera from private collections, and from those held in the New Jersey Surf Museum and New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame, this book is a celebration of East Coast surfing, from its pioneering beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century to its heyday in the 1980s as the scene converged with skateboarding and a shared influence on street style.

    It featured insightful texts that illuminate previously unheralded moments in the evolution of the sport, the book not only introduces some of the greatest unseen surf photography of the last century but also lets the Jersey Shore take its rightful place in the history of American surfing.

    We hope you enjoy this episode...

  • WeSurf Ep. 9: Surf4Dem with Giovanni Martinez

    WeSurf Ep. 9: Surf4Dem with Giovanni Martinez
    Apr 30 2024
    In this conversation, Kwame La Bassiere interviews Dr. Giovanni Martinez, a clinical psychologist in Puerto Rico who works with children with autism. Dr. Martinez started the organization Surf4Dem, which uses surf therapy to help children with autism improve their social communication skills, sensory processing disorders, and muscular tone.

    The therapy also has a positive impact on the families, as parents are encouraged to surf alongside their children. The program has been successful in providing unique therapeutic benefits and improving the overall well-being of the participants. Dr. Martinez explains the meaning behind the name Surf4Dem, which stands for Surf for the Development of Emotion and Motor Skills. The organization focuses on using surf therapy to help children with autism develop their social communication skills and improve their motor skills.

    Giovanni emphasizes the importance of trying new and unconventional therapies for children with autism, as different approaches may have a significant impact on their development. He also discusses the potential benefits of medical tourism, where families from other places can come to Puerto Rico for a customized surf therapy program for their children.
