A Brief History of Dave Kalama


Watch this very interesting short film about the life of the man, the myth, the legend, Dave Kalama.

Apart from being at the forefront of the SUP movement, Kalama could also list the following on his extensive resumé: pro windsurfer, big wave tow-surfing pioneer, alpine skier, Molokai champion, top-level paddle coach, WSL commentator, TEDx talker, and father.

While his humble, laid-back nature means he doesn’t always have the Instagram reach of some of the other big-name paddlers, Dave is definitely one of the all-time most respected guys on the water. Whenever Dave Kalama speaks, people listen.

This clip comes from Dave’s sponsor, Imagine Surf, and while it was actually uploaded a couple of weeks ago, it seems it’s only just started doing the rounds today.

Watch up top and enjoy.
