Van Vu

Van Vu is the founder and CEO of Basis Surf, a New York-based company that makes a dry-land paddle trainer for surfers, and the host of the Basis Surf Podcast, which The Inertia voted the best overall surf podcast. He grew up surfing in Orange County, California, spent three years and countless late nights engineering a device that replicates the resistance of paddling a surfboard, and turned his own obsessive frustration - living an hour from a break that is flat 90% of the time - into a product and a body of coaching interviews with roughly 100 top surfers, shapers, and coaches.
