Long Island 1990s Surf Culture with Davo Denis
Listen now
Description
Underground O.G. Long Island legend Davo Denis has seen and done it all. Surfboard purveyor, Brooklyn building tycoon, creator of X-Dreem clothing company, and proprietor of the Inhumane store in SoHo, Davo is a restless man of many projects. He shares with Ben and Tyler hilarious anecdotes of a surf mission in Baja that was actually a Christian charity Mission and what it was like to gatecrash Roseland Ballroom in the 90s to push t-shirts on sweaty rockstars. Davo summoned these stories by flooding our podcast studio with photos from his decades in surf, notes from the manager of Blur, and a dusty VHS copy of "Gripping Stuff 2".
