The show will also introduce audiences to stand up surfing (SUP) champion and Pan American Games Medalist, Daniel Hughes, as the show’s host.

“I’ve been involved in a lot of start-ups along with some major technology companies, and I’ve been a surfer most of my life, as have all of my partners,” commented Executive Producer, Kevin Griffith, “and World of Waves is our way of giving back. Surfing is more than just a sport, it’s also a lifestyle. We want to show viewers where those classic waves are that started it all, but also the in-depth stories behind those waves, the places to stay and to eat, and to meet the people living in those locations along the journey. Or they can just watch it and enjoy.”
