Ep. 134 Jack Bessant

Ep. 134
•

Today on the UK Surf Show, we’re stoked to welcome a true legend of the British music and surf scene — Jack Bessant! You’ll know Jack as the powerhouse bassist behind the iconic Britrock band Reef, but when he’s not laying down grooves on stage, he’s chasing waves and living the surf lifestyle to the fullest. From sold-out tours to soulful surf sessions, Jack blends creativity, nature, and raw energy like no one else. We’re diving into music, mindfulness, the rhythm of the ocean — and maybe even a few tales from the road. So wax your board and turn up the volume — this one’s a ride you won’t want to miss!
