Welcome to Season 3, Episode 29. We had a
great conversation with illustrator, graphic novelist, and surfing
and skateboarding enthusiast, AJ Dungo. His first
graphic novel, In Waves,
is a beautiful work that focuses on love, loss, and surfing. It
tells the story of surfing, Duke Kahanomoku, Tom Blake, and the
passing of AJ’s partner Kristen. In this conversation, we discuss
AJ’s artistic style, the writing of In Waves, grief, surfing and
skateboarding culture, and so much more. To see more of AJ Dungo’s
work, be sure to go to his website, follow his
instagram,
and buy In Waves through the Nobrow or

Penguin links. For previous episodes and
