About this episode
In this episode of the Quivercast, we sit down with Hans Hagen @hanshagen, a former professional surfer and now the Director of the Mauli Ola Foundation. A Laguna Beach local with deep roots in the surf community, Hans grew up surfing with his dad and honed his skills in local amateur contests, eventually going pro. Surfing became more than a passion—it became a platform that opened countless doors. Hans embraced each opportunity, from professional contracts in fashion to working on iconic surf films like *Thicker Than Water* and *Shelter*, which captured his love for the ocean and the surfing lifestyle.
Today, Hans continues to surf almost daily, bringing the same passion to his role as the Director of the Mauli Ola Foundation. This incredible organization focuses on using surf therapy to improve the lives of individuals with genetic disorders. Hans’s journey from competitive surfer to film & radio contributor, and now Director in the nonprofit world exemplifies how surfing can positively impact both individuals and communities. Tune in as Hans shares insights from his diverse career, the importance of seizing opportunities, and the powerful role of surfing in healing and connecting people.
