Subjects we were talking about: • How it came to the idea for Barbarian Days • Lifestyle of Traveling compared to living in New York • The development of Surfing in general (commercialisation etc.) • Did his life changed after winning the Pulitzer Price? • The meaning of the ocean • Filled line ups due to publications • Literature / Writers that did inspire William Finnegan • Spirituality • and more...
