Aware of his dad's legacy Jesse now teaches behaviourally challenged & emotionally disrupted kids while knifing slabs & smacking flips during school hols. An eye for photographic nuance and plenty of commitment to his hobbies, Jess is an exciting lad to speak to. Hope you enjoy what was a delightful recording mo...

Amazing chat with this true boog lord. 1km paddles in pre-sunrise baitballs, 14 years married & wrestling his lifelong SIC dream at the age of 44. So sick. Tile image: Paul Humber

Cohen Thomas is likely the answer to our cries “where are all the hardcore young boogers these days” Compared to the early 2000’s there appears to be less in number, but maybe Cohen & his brother make up for a few dozen given the airs n pits they're piloting. Imagine surfing 6-10 foot flat bottom pits in the middle of nowhere for 10 hours straight. Literally 10 hours straight. That’s Cohen & his brother. Enjoy this chat with a truly special breed of boog bloodline. Coco Thomas. Tile b...

A girl rippin in and living large. "Shark Island is for the f*&kin girls!" she yelled over the mic at the 2025 SIC Launch Party. Great to catch up, hearing the backstory and the cognitive processes of Sophie. Fascinating & good vibes.

Power to Lilly. What a strength. Great chat with a wonderful person. We talk 3 decades of camping around the world with her bodyboard. Setting up one of Australia's best Boog coaching clinics & finding nature as her friend most recently. Stoked to catch up with the boogworld's slab queen, and see her doing so well.

We also talk about changing nappies for 10 years straight & how to stay connected to your partner in that process. Good yarn with one of bodyboarding's favourites. Enjoy. Tile image: Toinz

Andrew Lester is one of the all-time best pocket surfers on the planet. For this recording I caught him in his corporate office, well dressed and kindly chatting through life as he knows it. Something very special about someone with such skill and stature quietly going about his daily requirements. One beautiful thing to note is how his eyes glowed as he proudly announces that he gets to work from home 3 days per week, meaning he can ride to school with his boy those days. Hope you enjo...

A casual yarn in front of 4 ft pits, with two gentle humans full of story. The challenges of their lives and how they have navigated such. Appreciate their time and application.

From the tyranny of guilt and overthinking, to being content with what is. This is Heydon Bunting 2.0, a rich walk through therapeutic art, natural wonder & stilling the mind. What a blessing and a gift to record this one. Brendo

This chat, as with all eps, gets better and better as the recording continues. Jarod and I really hit a flow and towards the back end, as he's able to discuss his passion for helping others; connected to his photography practice.

In this collaboration episode, I chat with Ben Hodge & Jolan Kilkelly - two diehard NZ boogs who run a cracking little boog centric podcast called Fumanswoo. We talk discrimination, shame, the global boog network, world tour ideas, the 2024 Shark Island challenge, my boog career, and we break down who we deem the 12 Apostles of Bodyboarding. Super fun chat and a real testimony to the strength of the boog lifestyle. Brendo
