L8night with Choccy
A conversation with Jye Townend
Our guest this week is an American-Australian who grew up right here in Huntington Beach, born into one of Surfing's most iconic families. As the son of the first-ever World Surfing Champion, Peter "PT" Townend, he was surrounded by the sport, culture, and industry from day one. But instead of simply following in his father's footsteps, he carved out his own impressive path, working in surf media and holding sales and leadership roles with Ocean & Earth, Rhythm, Surfline, and Boardriders, while also co-founding the popular Vacancy Coffee Bar. Taking advantage of his dual citizenship, he later moved back to Australia, earned his commercial pilot's license, and now flies professionally. We're stoked to hear his incredible journey. Please welcome to the show, Mr. Jye Townend!
