Special guest host, Derek Reilly (formerly of Stab Magazine, Surf Europe, Australia’s Surfing Life) joins us this week after Vaughan was arrested out the front of Dee Why mosque while walking his dog during last week’s anti-terror raids in Australia. All the talk is about John John Florence and so it is on this week’s program, as we pick apart his performances at Hurley Pro at Trestles and the Quik Pro France.
What a couple of weeks it has been in the big wave world. We discuss the heroics of the NSW south coast underground at giant Cloudbreak; fights, fractured jaws, and Point Break II at Chopes; and Greg Long‘s “non-fatal drowning” at Cortez Bank.
The hoverboard finally arrives — and a year earlier than predicted! Finally, the wait is over: the world is given a glimpse of Alana Blanchard‘s nipple. U2 guitarist The Edge buys up a prime slice of Malibu coastline, surfing’s greatest rivalries, and our producer Paulie B eats shit in the middle of our interview with the boys from Sounds of the Suburbs — Australia’s premiere DIY, arts, music and culture festival (he reached backwards off his swivel chair for a beer).
