In this episode, we’re hanging out with Mikey Bruneau—an epic surfer and all-around great guy—who takes us on a wild ride through his journey from growing up on the Big Island to tackling the legendary Pipeline.

But that’s not all—things take an interesting turn as we compare the golden days of big surf sponsorships to today’s crazy real estate market in Hawaii. Mikey opens up about balancing life between catching waves and navigating the business world, and how finding the perfect wave isn’t all that different from chasing the right investment.
