In this episode of the CS Podcast, we take a deep dive into the life and career of Benji Severson, a name synonymous with surfing and faith - especially in the surfing hotbed of San Clemente.
Growing up in a commune in Mendocino, California, Benji was introduced to the ocean at a young age, surfing alongside his father and uncle. Benji’s uncle, John Severson, was the founder of Surfer Magazine. This early connection to the water was the catalyst for a lifelong passion. By eight years old, Benji was already riding waves in San Clemente, a place that would later become the heart of his surfing journey.
Together, with his brother, Benj founded the Severson brand, blending their love for surfing with artistic expression. As his career evolved, Benji found himself working with industry giants like HIC, Rusty, and Nike, where he played a crucial role in launching Nike 6.0. Yet, it was his faith and dedication to his community that truly defined him, turning his shop into a ministry and a beacon of light in San Clemente, California.
