Beachgrit is notorious for their tabloid style content and click bait titles. Some more controversial than others but, always interesting to read. We started to notice about a year ago some articles coming out, covering the New York / Mid Atlantic Surf Scene. Our humble and sometimes forgotten-about community was getting some storylines and coverage in one of the most sensational surf tabloids. Behind each of these articles was the name Giancarlo Guardascione.

We became curious as to who was this Giancarlo that was reporting on our community in Beachgrit and what was his backstory. His articles are well crafted, some with a bit of tongue and cheek, some with sincere earnestness and all well researched and reported. We are really excited to have Giancarlo on our show to learn about his surfing story and get some of his hot takes on surfing in the Mid Atlantic. We hope you enjoy this episode with this absolutely charasmatic character.
