This is an Australian surf podcast that interviews legends who are all connected by their love of catching a wave. I chat with surf enthusiasts from the big CEO of surf brands to small local frothers making waves in the surf industry . My vision for this podcast is to connect the surfing community; bring experts in for advice about surfing; give board reviews that actually apply to the average knockabout surfer; and, most importantly, provide a platform for awesome people to tell their story!
