Today's guest is Jacob Campbell, the son of Legendary Surfcraft designer Malcom Campbell. Malcom and his brother Duncan, together created the "BONZER" surfboard in the 70's. It was a revolutionary surf design that first used the use of side fins adding to the single fin thus creating the first 3 fin system. This unique design was the first of its kind progressing the sport forward in more ways than one. The speed that the Campbell Brothers were experiencing on the BONZER could not be denied. This design changed surfing forever! Malcom had a son named Jacob. Jacob grew up in a very creative household. Lots of music played in the house, and it sunk into Jacobs brain. Jacob grew up absorbing all types of groovy vibes and eventually started searching out rare hard to find obscure cuts. He would go on to make mixes for friends and family. These music mixes were good with deep cuts. If you are a fan of new music, than Jacob is a lovely fellow to know. With the help of the Internet, Jacob was able find and share music like never before. He took advantage of that and theres a deep love there, and the love continues to grow, and he shares the love and he shares the stoke. His passion for music turned into a Podcast and then a regular radio gig on terrestrial radio Central Coast Radio "97./107.9" " The Rock" (Morro Bay) Jacob Campbell now lives in Oahu, Hawaii. He lived and worked in and around Haleiwa and worked at his uncles Famous surf shack "Cafe Haleiwa" It is there where Jacob met his wife and started a little family on the hill. He now shapes under the family name and is the representative for "Campbell Brothers Hawaii". He broadcasts live from his home studio for his radio show in California. He continues to share music, live the stoke and love the BEEFHEART! Jacob has been my number one way I find amazing new music and has been 90% of the cuts I use for this Podcast. I love the instrumentals, the weird stuff and the groovy spaced out and beyond. Its all there. It was a absolute treat to talk with one of my biggest inspirations. please enjoy my conversation with the great MR. JACOB CAMPBELL   Cheers!
