60+ Books, Surfing, Art, Music & More | A Conversation with Burnout Stoke Ambassador Eric J. Cedeno

 


In this podcast-style conversation with Burnout Stoke, we dive into the many different passions, adventures, and experiences that have shaped my life. I’m Eric J. Cedeno, a Burnout Stoke Ambassador, author of more than 60 books, competitive surfer, artist, musician, surfboard builder and high-performance longboard shaper. I’ve spent 24 years working in aerospace, while also pursuing a wide range of creative and athletic interests outside of work. We talk about: Publishing more than 60 books and the creative process behind them Competitive surfing and the lessons it has taught me Art, creating artwork, and participating in art shows Building wooden surfboards and shaping high-performance longboards Playing guitar and ukulele, including ASL songs My first 32-mile Catalina Classic paddleboard race 24 years working in the aerospace industry Using Excel and data to track and analyze surf statistics The many hobbies and projects that keep life interesting Near-death experiences and how they can change your perspective Some special shoutouts to people and organizations along the way Life advice, lessons learned, and thoughts on self improvement This conversation is really about much more than surfing. It’s about creativity, curiosity, persistence, trying new things, and making the most of the time we have. Thanks to Burnout Stoke for having me on and for creating a space where we could have such a wide-ranging conversation. If you enjoy surfing, creativity, art, music, books, surfboard building, interesting life stories, or simply hearing about the different paths one person can take, I hope you enjoy the conversation. Thanks for watching! #BurnoutStoke #EricJCedeno #Surfing #Longboarding #SurfboardShaping #Art #Music #Books #CatalinaClassic #Aerospace
