Sal Masekela

Sal Masekela brings his charm, catchy turn of phrase and encyclopaedic sports knowledge to Spinfast Snowboard. He's one of the world's most popular extreme sports commentators as well as a pretty handy snowboarder, surfer and skater. 

The guys has even been called the face and voice of action sports by TV Week.

Sal's cracked into the biz with an entry-level slot. Being an intern and answering phones at Transworld Publishing – the home of Snowboarding, Skate and Surf mags – was a pretty cool gig but it is nowhere near as cool as where it had taken him.

He's a commentator on ESPN, calling some of the station's biggest extreme sport events including the X Games, he has his own little slice of air time on the E! Network with his Daily Top 10, and he helped launch Alphanumeric, an urban/sports wear with company he kickstarted with three of his closest friends.

His skills have even spilled into film, with an appearance in the animated movie Surf's Up.
