Inside EuroSIMA: Podcast of Pierre Bernard Gascogne

Episode #6 - 🎧 For episode six of the Inside Eurosima Podcast, we welcome Pierre Bernard Gascogne, a name as legendary for the industry as it is familiar for Surf Session magazine readers.
A long-time surfer (the first Frenchman to have surfed Mundaka) PBG has always strived to combine his passion with his studies and his career.
As an oceanographic engineer, PBG established ties early on in Hawaii and later in California, which allowed him to spot certain trends early on: boards, magazines, accessories…but first and foremost, he saw the potential of a budding French surfing community. What started after graduating as a side job in his small apartment in Paris, wound up growing into Surf System, one of the biggest leading boardsports hardware retailers in Europe.
For us, PBG will take a walk down memory lane and tell us all about his 40-year career, the booming surfing industry in the 90’s, the glory days of Surf Session and Surf System. He’ll also discuss the current and future challenges within our industry.
