Our guest this week is a Hall of Fame Pro Surfer that finished #7 on the Championship

Tour. With multiple career victories including the prestigious 1984 Pipeline Masters! In

1985 he founded the Professional Surfing Association of America (PSAA) tour. But from

highs to lows, in just a few short years later, depression got the best of him. He hit

rock bottom. Soon after, he gave his life to Jesus Christ and he couldn’t believe that his

purpose in life was more than just winning Pipe Masters and that his Best has yet to

come!!! For the last has 30 years he has been balancing both careers as Coach for the

USA World Amateur Champion Team and others, as well as being a full-time Pastor, a

guest speaker, an author, and a mentor focusing on our youth! From being on the top

of Pro-Surfing, to opening Calvary Chapel Churches, to eventually starting his own

Church “Worship Generations” his story isn’t finished! We are beyond honored and

pumped to sit down with the Legendary Mr. Joey “THE CALIFORNIA KID” Buran!
