episode 149: Billy Stairmand: 20+Years of Pro Surfing, Beating Kelly Slater, and more!
On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Billy Stairmand.
Billy is a professional surfer, and arguably our best ever. He’s won the national New Zealand title a record eight times, surfed at the Olympics and has competed internationally around the globe for 20 years.
In this episode we talk about the time he beat Kelly Slater, what the busy, international life of a pro surfer really looks like, the tragic loss of his mum and brother, and dealing with adversity, sharks, big-wave surfing, keeping a healthy marriage and his Olympic challenge.
Billy is a ray of light, such an optimistic, fun-loving guy who has worked incredibly hard and sacrificed so much to reach the top in his sport. You’ll love Billy’s outlook and approach to life, story of success and all the best yarns in between.
