Join Boat Co. Talk Show Host Derek Sabori in a candid and personal under the hood discussion with the outstanding, and now iconic, multi-media action sports personality, Chris Cote.
In his younger years, Chris surfed professionally and worked in the surf industry as a team manager, marketing assistant, and more. In 1999 he aided in the start of TransWorld SURF Magazine and became Editor-In-Chief in 2005.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the behind-the-scenes stories of building a unique career, being on a first name basis with some of action-sports’ biggest names, and being one of the first to be called on to talk us through the events that we love.
