Koa Smith — Big waves. Concussions. And psilocybin.

Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:

Surfing is one of the most beautiful and liberating sports that can exist, but it can also be one of the most dangerous. If you don't believe me, ask our guest, Koa Smith. Being on the verge of death puts into perspective what we have been doing with our lives.

Koa is a professional surfer who suffered a traumatic brain injury that puts his life in perspective. During his healing journey, he found the answers he was looking for about the incident with the help of psilocybin mushrooms.
