The dribbliest of episodes to finish off the year. We run over all the latest surfing news, listen to our first ever song written for us, and finish off with a battle of the brains featuring Harry O'Brien and Keenan Crisp. We laughed a lot in this one.

In this episode, we’re joined by former WSL World Tour surfer and current Challenger Series competitor Jackson Baker. We dive into his journey growing up as a grom who was “winning everything,” before his world was turned upside down in 2016 with the loss of his mum to breast cancer. Jacko opens up about navigating that grief, the adversity that followed, and how he fought his way to the highest level of the sport. We also chat about where he’s at right now and his push to earn a spot back on the elite stage. Strap in, this one’s a doozy!
In this episode, we talk to a man who wears many hats. WSL and skate commentator, podcaster, journalist, and former editor in chief of Transworld Surf (just to name a few). We dig into the 14 year 'party' that was Transworld surf and why it came to an end. We also dive into his current role as part of the WSL's commentary team and pick his brains on the new schedule and format for 2026.
In this episode we get right into the latest developments from the WSL World Tour. New schedule, new format, but some familiar faces re-joining the conversation. 2026 is shaping up to be a banger!
In this episode we welcome James Wood (Woody) into the studio. A friend of ours who has seen everything in the world of surfing. After winning two World Junior Titles and venturing out onto the QS, James was unable to kick on and qualify for the tour. Instead he carved out his own pathway as a gun shaper and an elite level surf coach to the likes of Mikey McDonagh and Connor O'leary. This episode covers James' surfing career, his thoughts on the current state of surfing + we also pick his brains on board design and next years WSL world tour. #surfing #podcast #wsl #surfer #surf
In this week's episode we were lucky enough to have a chat with Jacob ‘Zeke’ Szekely and Letty Mortenson. Plenty of laughs in this one but also some gold with Zeke delving into his troubled upbringing, spending time in jail and overcoming drug and alcohol issues to have a successful surfing career. Letty talks us through his much different path and touches on his experiences filming ‘Corners Of The Earth: Kamchatka’. We think you’ll enjoy this one!
