Today we chat with the incredibly talented Michael Torquato DeNicola @iamtorquato at his home/studio in Downtown L.A. Mike grew up surfing with his Father in South Orange County Ca. Mike talks about how living a bit inland helped him surf better because he was able to surf different spots around South Orange County and was able to see a very high level of surfing at a young age. Mike tells us how he graduated from USD, then chased pro surf contests for awhile, and realized that you lose way more then you win surfing in contests. He talks about getting away from surfing contest and moving to Pacific Palisades, were he worked in the movie/TV industry, all the while doing art that he enjoyed making. Mike is now an artist by profession, with many art pieces shown all over the world. And did Mike really start a TV game series for surfers, find out!
