Episode 012: Tom Kay - How I Built Finisterre

Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 012 I welcomed Finisterre founder Tom Kay to the show. A surfer, swimmer, fisherman, lifeboatman, father and entrepreneur, Tom founded Finisterre in 2002 and in that time has overseen the brand's evolution from bedroom start-up to the UK’s most beloved surf brand with a staff of 50 and a workshop overlooking the cliffs of Saint Agnes in Cornwall. Tom and I spent the day in Brighton, and after a brisk sea swim we sat down on pebble-strewn Brighton beach, where we grabbed a shandy and spent an hour or so discussing his life and career, and digging right into the story of how he built this most influential of British surf brands.
