World Champion Skimboarder, Austin Keen: Freedom, Fulfillment & Fun – Episode 298

Posted by Jason Ferruggia

Austin Keen is a World Champion skimboarder and wakesurfer, successful entrepreneur, and a social media star with close to 1 million fans world-wide.

He has also been featured in commercials for an array of companies such as Jeep and Subaru and appeared on several popular TV shows including Comedy Central’s hit, “Tosh.0”.

Not bad for a guy who in 2007 packed his bags and left Georgia for California with nothing but his 1975 BMW and a dream of becoming a pro.

Listed in Surfer Today’s Most Influential in Wave Sports next to surfing legend, Kelly Slater, and virally shared more than any other athlete in the world, Austin is proof that fearless action coupled with hard work and perseverance is the recipe for success.

If you have a dream of your own, and would like to learn from a guy who has made his come true, you won’t want to miss this episode!
