As surfer we have tro run with this story !
Ok it is a press release but at least it is a fun one
As a professional surfer, partnering with Sunburn Cannabis signifies a transformative chapter in both surfing and cannabis cultures,” says Justin Quintal, with the enthusiasm of someone who’s not just riding waves but also making them.
Pro-surfer Justin Quintal, a name synonymous with mastery in longboarding, has embarked on a pioneering journey as the first surfer to be officially sponsored by a cannabis brand. His accolades, including being a 10x Vans Duct Tape Invitational Winner, 5x U.S Open Winner and the 2019 WSL World Champion, are clear evidence of his prowess. Beyond surfing, he’s also the entrepreneurial mind behind Black Rose MFG, his own board company.
His partnership with Sunburn Cannabis, a Florida weed brand, marks a notable intersection of athletic excellence and cannabis advocacy. The brand, under the stewardship of CEO and founder, Brady Cobb, carries a legacy rooted in the state’s cannabis history, with Cobb’s late father being a notable figure in the cannabis smuggling saga of the 1970s and 1980s.
A Long-Standing Personal Relationship With Cannabis
Quintal’s integration of Sunburn products into his surfing and workout routines signals a broader narrative unfolding in the sports world. But in order to understand the surfer’s relationship with the herb, we need to go back to his college years. “I was balancing graduating from college with my professional surf career/competitive goals. I was also working multiple jobs,” he shares.
