Jesse Faen is an Australian-born wanderer who’s been surfing for the past four decades and is now a dedicated kite, wing, and foil enthusiast. Jesse’s been around the block when it comes to the surf industry, working as an editor for Waves Magazine in Australia and Surfing Magazine in the US before working as the media director for the ASP (now WSL) where he traveled the world writing about the tour for a decade. Since then, Jesse has settled in LA where he ran the Insight clothing brand for six-plus years. He currently coaches surfing, and volunteers as a surf therapist with A Walk On Water, an organization that has had a huge impact on a number of lives. 

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, Jesse discusses his dedication to surf therapy, sharing its profound effects on participants and volunteers alike, and talks about his personal growth, sobriety, and the evolving surf culture. Above all, Jesse's story is one of aligning life with his surfing passion and community support. We hope you enjoy…
