From the Jersey Shore to Hawaii’s North Shore, Jason Bitzer has built a life around the water. On this episode of The Staffa Corner Podcast, Jason joins Greg Staffa to share how professional bodyboarding and lifeguarding helped shape his work as a stunt performer and water safety specialist. He explains the difference between catching a wave for yourself and entering dangerous surf to save someone else, and how those experiences taught him to make critical decisions under pressure.
Jason also takes us behind the scenes of aquatic stunt work, where creating convincing danger requires preparation, trust, and knowing when to stop filming. Beyond production, he discusses his Never Off Duty initiative to help prevent drownings and his book, In the Wake of Technology, which explores how Hawaii’s communities might come together in a crisis. It’s a conversation about staying curious, learning new skills, and looking out for others.
