Since launching its first SuperOcean dive watch back in 1957, Breitling has cultivated a special connection with the surf community, one based on a sense of adventure and a shared love of the sea. Many of you would have noticed surfing legends such as Kelly Slater, Steph Gilmore, Sally Fitzgibbons sporting their watches lately in ad campaigns. So, it would only seem a natural fit that Breitling would release their newest offering, a coffee table books titles: The Breitling Book of Surfing: A ride the heart of Community. It’s a beautifully illustrated journey through modern surf culture guided by the international surfers and communities that define its inclusive and passionate nature.
The book was written by legendary surf journalist and broadcaster, Ben Mondy. Mondy grew up surfing pulling into closeout barrels in Newcastle, Australia. After completing an economics degree, he swapped a Finance Bro job to become the deputy editor for Tracks Surfing magazine in Australia from 2000 to 2005. In 2006 he moved to Europe and became a partner in the action sports and adventure marketing agency All Conditions Media. Since leaving the agency, he has continued to write for the world’s biggest surf print and online publications including The Surfers Journal, the WSL, Tracks, Surfline, and has provided content for numerous outlets such as Red Bull, Billabong Rip Curl and many more…
When he’s not writing for his Substack, “The Surf Bugle”, You can find Ben commentating on the major surfing events for the WSL. Plus, he helmed the BBC’s TV coverage of surfing’s debut at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Ben is an extremely well respected figure in the surf world and we're really stoked to have him on the show as our guest for this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast.
