I’m Nathan Brickman, the founder of CASL Holdings LLC and the driving force behind The California Surf Lodge® and the CASL Community™ Platform. My life has always revolved around the ocean—surfing, traveling, and connecting with people who share that same wild, oceangoing spirit—which naturally evolved into creating spaces where that culture could flourish both online and off.

Before launching CASL in 2025, I spent years blending experience in creative media, entrepreneurship, and community building to craft platforms that honor authenticity, shared adventure, and meaningful connection. Today, I’m based in San Francisco, where I work with an incredible team to expand CASL’s reach, inspire community-led experiences, and elevate surf culture worldwide.
