  • Summary

  • Our Guest on this episode is freelance content creator, Jon Coen from Long Beach Island. Jon has been a consummate champion of Northeast surfing for over 20+ years. When the surf magazines were still in their heyday, Jon would be the go to guy for anything in the Northeast happening. He always fought to get local events, surfers, and creatives to get the greater promotion and exposure when the west coast would ignore us.

    On this episode we touch on various facets of his career, including content roles with notable brands like Jetty Surf, Vuori, and Red Bull. Jon elaborates on the unique surf culture in Long Beach Island and the community dynamics that sustain it despite challenges like beach replenishment. We highlight LBI local events like The Clam Jam and The Coquina Surf Jam. Jon emphasizes the importance of a supportive local surf community. The conversation explores broader themes within surf culture, tracing the surf community's ties with music, and looks ahead to the potential resurgence of Surfer Magazine, aiming to prioritize authentic storytelling and diverse local voices in the surf industry. This episode encapsulates the passion and evolving nature of surf culture, emphasizing the importance of community and localized narratives. We hope you enjoy this episode…
