Cold Beer Surf Club

• EP 17: TODD GLASER – 15+ years of shooting with Kelly Slater, Traveling with Jack Johnson, September Sessions & Thicker Than Water, Becoming a new dad, Dads on Tour, Life as a pro bodyboarder, and A Life of Waves

  Todd Glaser is a world-renowned surf photographer, surfer, waterman, and longtime friend of Conner Coffin. In this episode of the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club, the two share a deep and nostalgic conversation that traces a lifetime spent chasing waves, images, and meaning, diving into what it’s like balancing the beautiful chaos of parenthood with a career built on sprinting toward storms and swimming into heavy lineups with only a camera in hand. Todd reflects on growing up in San Diego, learning photography through bodyboarding, and discovering his craft the old-school way – shooting film, logging detailed swell notes, mailing rolls to labs, and hoping the shots came out. He and Conner revisit Todd’s leap from surf-shop grom to Brooks Institute student to traveling full-time with Kelly Slater as one of the most respected lensmen in the game. They share stories from their years on the road together, early Surfer and Surfing assignments, and the image that led to Todd’s first cover and changed the trajectory of his career. They chat about iconic sessions in Tahiti, how Jack Johnson shot every frame of September Sessions, as well as Todd’s 15-plus years traveling with Kelly, a partnership that grew into deep friendship and a new book documenting the journey. Todd opens up about how becoming a parent and slowing down travel has reshaped his approach to both surfing and photography, and why keeping things simple, staying curious, and seeking authentic moments behind the lens still guide everything he does.

  Conner Coffin sits down for an episode of Cold Beer Surf Club with Santa Cruz legend, Mavericks pioneer, and all-around surf icon Peter Mel. Recorded just a day after the Big Wave Awards and with Conner’s dog Finley curled up on Pete’s lap the whole time, Peter reflects on The Eddie, the celebration of big-wave surfing, and the highs and lows that come with chasing the world’s heaviest waters. He talks through his 2021 Ride of the Year at Mavericks, a wave 30 years in the making, and how the pure bliss of that moment was followed by days of solitude and introspection. The conversation dives into what it means to truly commit to a life in surf, the peaks and valleys, the recovery, and the discipline it takes to keep catching your best waves at 55. From growing up in Santa Cruz and pioneering Mavericks, to his battles with dark times, addiction, and rediscovering joy through surfing, Pete opens up about resilience, purpose, and gratitude. He also shares stories about the new generation of big-wave chargers, his relationship with Channel Islands Surfboards, Darc Sport Athletics, owning Freeline Surf Shop, and how surfing has evolved from the early Santa Cruz scene to the YouTube era of surf influencers.

• EP 15: PAIGE ALMS – The swell that changed everything, Becoming a 2x Big Wave World Champ & 3x Pe’ahi Challenge Winner, Albee Layer changing the game, Beating Carissa Moore in junior comps, Big wave guns vs twin fins, and Developing a cold-water allergy

  2x Big Wave World Champion and 3x Peʻahi Challenge winner Paige Alms joins Conner Coffin on the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club. Coming from the 2025 Big Wave Awards in Newport Beach, CA, Paige reflects on the moments that defined her career and the tight-knit big-wave community that feels like family every time they come together. From getting caught inside by a 60-foot set during a contest, to foiling between Hawaiian islands, to surfing “by braille” in giant conditions, Paige breaks down what it means to be a true waterwoman. She recalls the “swell that changed everything” at Jaws, and reflects on her mentorship under the late, great Chris Vandervoort, and the pioneers who paved the way – legends like Marcio Freire, Yuri Soledade, and Deniro Couto. She highlights how Shane Dorian and Ian Walsh pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, and gives props to the next generation, Albee Layer, Kai Lenny, Matt Meola, and more, for carrying the torch and taking big-wave surfing into the future. She shares why she believes Peʻahi is the best big wave on the planet, breaks down her favorite boards for charging Jaws, and opens up about developing a cold-water allergy that forced her to rethink recovery and preparation. She talks about her early “claim to fame” moment beating Carissa Moore in junior NSSA contests and winning a national title, and how those battles shaped her competitive fire. She dives into the progression of women’s surfing across every discipline, the wins and wipeouts that shaped her journey, and what’s next as she balances chasing swells with mentoring the next generation.

  In Episode 13 of the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club, professional surfer and host Conner Coffin sits down with legendary surf filmmaker and Newport Beach fixture Logan “Chucky” Dulien for an unforgettable conversation that dives deep into surf culture, filmmaking, and a real-life crime saga that rattled the Southern California surf community. Logan recounts his roots working at the iconic Frog House and managing the RVCA surf team before turning to film, where his Snapt series became a proving ground for some of the sport’s most explosive talents. With the U.S. premiere of Snapt5 just weeks away at the US Open of Surfing, Logan opens up about the years-long grind behind the project, including the personal toll, from burnout to the end of his marriage, and why this might be the final chapter of the franchise. He also details the harrowing experience of being robbed during filming and how he took matters into his own hands, teaming up with Newport Beach PD and using social media to help build a case that led to the arrest of three suspects in a theft ring that targeted surfers for millions of dollars. From working with CT surfers and Brazilian up-and-comers to reflecting on the legacy of Taylor Steele and the evolution of surf content, Logan shares unfiltered wisdom and wild stories from a life spent behind the lens and deep in the surf scene.
