Thanks to Miguel Rivera at Daytona State College's Counselling and Accessibility Services, we are honored to have world champion surfer, documentarian, and best-selling author, Shaun Tomson, take the stage for a keynote at “An Evening with Shaun Tomson”, Wednesday, Sept. 4 at Daytona State College’s News-Journal Center. The event includes a showing of the classic 2008 surf film Bustin’ Down the Door. Tomson, whose book The Code: The Power of ‘I Will’ explores faith, courage, creativity and determination, has become an in-demand motivational speaker. He will speak in advance of the film and will take part in a Q&A after the showing with 1976 world champion, Peter Townsend. This event, sponsored by Daytona State College in partnership with the Florida Surf Film Festival, is free and open to the public. Doors open 5 p.m. and the event begins at 6 p.m. with a presentation by Tomson on how finding your voice and committing to positive attitudes can help you achieve your goals. The event will conclude with a Q&A session with Tomson and fellow World Surfing Champion Peter “PT” Townend. Tomson, a native of South Africa, won 19 major professional surf events during his surfing career, including the International Professional Surfers World Championship in 1977, and is considered one of the 10 greatest surfers of all time. Following his retirement from competitive surfing, he went on to write the best-selling Surfer’s Code – 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life and the No. 1 Amazon teen bestseller The Code. He has appeared in multiple films, including Bustin’ Down the Door and founded, managed and sold two clothing brands. He is currently an ambassador for his revitalized brand, Instinct, and board member for the Surfrider Foundation. The event is being hosted by Daytona State’s School of Digital Media Production and the College’s Office of Counseling & Accessibility Services. 5 p.m. – Doors open6 p.m. – Introduction of Shaun Tomson7:30 p.m. – Intermission8:15 p.m. – Bustin’ Down the Door9:50 p.m. – Q&A with Tomson facilitated by fellow World Surfing Champion Peter “PT” TownendThe News-Journal Center is at 221 N.
