On Guard - Episode 4 with Luke Shepardson
In the latest installment of On Guard, we shine a light on Luke Shepardson, lifeguard, Eddie Aikau Champion, waterman, and father. As humble as he is fearless, Luke’s developed a sterling reputation for his bravado in the lineup and his leadership on land.
In this episode, he opens up about his path to the tower, the importance of serving his community, and his pursuit of the world’s heaviest waves.
While Luke's story marks the end of the opening installment of On Guard, the watch is far from over. Stay tuned for more stories from the tower.
