Seegull (aka Stephen Brayman) Interview

Seagulls are intelligent, adaptable birds found on every continent, known for their ability to drink both fresh and saltwater, as well as their social and opportunistic behavior. Seegull is very much the same, but replace his ability to drink saltwater with his ability to drink copious amounts of booze while bombing around on board. He got his nickname squawking on sessions all over the country, and I don’t believe plans on slowing down. He’s 100% skateboarder. Half effort does not produce half results. It produces no result. Continuous work and hard work is the only way to accomplish results that last. And Seegull lives 100% by that mindset. – Elijah Akerley
