November 17, 2020 by Joshua Loya 2 Comments

In this episode, Jacob talks about his personal and professional experience in sports and athletics, as well as the adversity he has encountered as a result of his cerebral palsy diagnosis. He and Joshua talk about the US Open Adaptive Surfing Championships, and the harrowing experience Jacob had there in 2018 that earned him the Jay Liesner Award. They also wax philosophical on the parallels between surfing and day to day life.
