EP 23: SELEMA MASEKELA – Recruiting the Irons brothers for Reebok, Touring with Paul Simon, Bull riding on Team Ignition, and How he got the role of the announcer in Surf’s Up

Commentator, musician, and thrill-seeker Selema Masekela joins the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club with Conner Coffin for a wide-ranging discussion diving into personal growth, pushing boundaries and staying true to his love of surfing. Selema goes over his experience with Team Ignition, where he profiles risk takers by putting himself in their shoes to see what draws people to extreme experiences. Selema and Conner talk about finding success in sports, broadcasting, and a movie role in the popular film Surf’s Up after years of adversity and rejection. Selema tells Conner the lengths he took to land a Reebok sponsorship with the Irons brothers. Selema opens up about his heroes, mentors, the friction with father, Hugh Masekela, that shaped their relationship, and what inspires him to take chances and stay unapologetically authentic.
