Dane Guduaksas makes people smile. Whether he likes it or not, he has to. He’s got the power-glow bowl cut, a haircut he pioneered, and his cheeks are permanently pinned high. Consistently folded into a massively contagious smile. As one-third of the G-bros trio, it’s part of the job description. They’re one of those rare, well-adjusted San Clemente surf families that has navigated a life spent in and around the surf industry limelight and manages to stay grounded, keep things in perspective, and radiate positivity. His energy is best captured in this live interview by KTLA during last year’s Vans US Open of Surfing. He can’t stop laughing.br br “I’m just trying to be an open book and enjoy every second,” says Gudauskas. “Because it’ll pass by quick. I think the key to happiness is sharing your happiness. That’s how you get the long-lasting glow. It’s all better when it’s shared.
