Welcome to episode 6 of the WeSurf podcast. This episode is done a little differently. Co-host Kwame Labassiere, recorded this episode while in Puerto Rico at the International Surf Therapy Organization conference. While there he interviewed professional surfer Chris Dennis from Trinidad and Tobago. Chris is the co-founder of Waves for Hope, an organization that runs youth development programs that utilize surfing and mentorship to provide positive psychology education to at-risk youths in under-served communities across Trinidad & Tobago.
Kwame talks to Chris about his upbringing in Trinidad and Tobago, his journey to surfing professionally and the challenges he faced, along with his ongoing commitment to surf therapy through his organization, Waves for Hope. The conversation explores key moments and influences in Chris's life, his perspectives on surfing, and experiences on the international circuit. The back and forth is lively, peppered with humor and insightful anecdotes. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.
