American road storyteller and El Porto Surf Shop owner Woodrow "Pack" Landfair is 50 states and 19 countries deep in an indefinite quest to surf every coastal nation on earth - as a means of meeting people and experiencing their cultures. He books the trips last minute, with no advance study - usually a same-day, one-way ticket - knowing he may have to return to the surf shop at any moment. Typically the surf shop staff does not even know he left, until he returns 5-10 days later - often with stories of the stranger's cousin who took him in, the surfboards he had to borrow, the unreported political opinions he overheard, or the bits of some language he had to learn in order talk his way onto a train to the airport to get home.
An author, musician (and former stunt double/ producer for global superstar Ronald McDonald), Landfair performs for audiences - scheduled, and unscheduled - at bookstores, coffeeshops, hostels, theaters, surf shops, and surf spots everywhere he visits.
