Listen "Dave Gravette"
Episode Synopsis
Dave Gravette knows a thing or two about injuries. As a professional skateboarder for the past 20 years, he's had his fair share. In fact, it was during a recovery from shoulder surgery several years ago that he took up flyfishing as a way to pass the time off his board. Since then, Gravette has been hooked, seeking out any and every opportunity he can to chase fish, from steelhead to carp to bluegill, and everything in between. If it has fins and will eat a fly, Dave Gravette will try to catch it. From a young age, Gravette was the kind of kid who liked to test boundaries. It's no surprise that he eventually found his way to skateboarding, turning pro as a teenager and racking up clips and photo spreads early on. Today, his signature boards for Creature usually include some combination of fishy art with strong "herbal" inclinations. Dave Gravette is the type of person who gets himself into ridiculous situations--lucky for us he lives to tell the tale. In this episode we get a few of those stories, as well as a look at what it means to be a professional skateboarder and Gravette's Top-10 (or so) tips for catching suckers on a slow day of steelheading. Thanks to our sponsors: Decked and Patagonia Fly Fishing.
