Selema Masekela is one of the most recognizable voices in action sports. From snowboarding and surfing to skateboarding and the X Games, he has spent decades helping bring the culture and its biggest moments to a global audience.
In this episode, Selema looks back on moving to California, discovering action sports, and working as a restaurant busboy before landing his first media job at TransWorld. He shares how stepping behind the microphone launched a career that would take him across the worlds of snowboarding, surfing, and beyond.
We also talk about music, creativity, and legacy. As the son of legendary jazz musician Hugh Masekela, Selema felt hesitant to begin making music himself. But finding his own relationship with music ultimately brought the two closer than ever.
From Alphanumeric and Burton to the X Games, the Tony Hawk 900, and the evolution of action sports culture, this is a conversation about taking chances, finding your voice, and building a life around what moves you.
