Our guest this week is a Surfer that relocated to Maui at an early age to live the Surfer’s Life in Paradise. Surfing all day and working in restaurants and retail to make ends meet. He got a job at Hobie and was very fortunate to have Dick Metz as a mentor and quickly climbed the ladder from part-time to running and buying for all Hobie Surf Shops at the young age of 23. He is also a restauranteur with over 4 Decades at Duke’s as GM and Managing partner. From Maui, to Malibu, to Huntington Beach, he has been a fixture at Huntington Beach serving up Aloha and great Hawaiian food and drinks to all those that walk through the door for the last 25 years. Duke’s has been a staple and cornerstone restaurant in Surf community as a sponsor, supporter for local Surf Contests, Fundraisers, and specialty events. Now he is taking all his knowledge down to Surf City El Salvador to launch a restaurant and help manage their tourism/hospitality division. We welcome the amazing talented Mr. Brett Barnes.
