Kanoa Dahlin- The Heart of a Hawaiian Champion.
2025/09/08
Send us Fan Mail This is the most intense episode i've ever recorded. That intensity says a lot about our special mega guest. A charger in the arena of life duties and in the arena of surfing. Listen to the whole episode and you'll see why on my words. Kanoa comes from that first young generation of surfers that adopted the surfing genre of longboarding when longboarding wasn't kool, when its rebirth was starting to unfold. On this episode you will hear the humbleness and open mindedness of a Hawaiian longboard giant.  Full respect to Mr. Dahlin!!

Michel Junod - A California Mega Legend
2025/05/16
Send us Fan Mail I am a fanboy of surfing history. When I have the privilege of conversation with those who were here before us within our surfing ecosystem, and they happen to be heavy hitters of the surfing community as surfers, shapers, historians, producers, innovators, human beings and so on..... I listen, I ask and I listen some more. Such was the case with legendary surfer/shaper and human being, California's Michel Junod. Michel, at 76 years of age has a surfing resume and trajectory that is longer than the traffic jam line to exit Dodger Stadium. If there was a formula to quantify surfing legend status, I doubt he wouldnt be towards the top of his generation. On this episode he entertains us with vivid memories and anecdotes of his surfing journey. We go deep in longboard design, surf culture and even dabble a bit on politics and policies that have influenced his direction in life. Thank you for listening and I'll see you in the water!

Dennis Ryder- California Master Surfboard Artisan.
2024/06/19
Send us Fan Mail In June of 2024 I finally set a date with Ventura surfing legend and master craftsmen Mr. Dennis Ryder for a quick interview. Fifteen minutes away from my home, Dennis and his wife live in a beautiful property alongside a calm creek. What seems to be a serene and beautiful creek unfortunately has another side to it. A nightmare turned reality due to a series of weather anomalies which included fires, apocalyptical rains and mudslides changed the Ryder's way of living. Though able to save their home, barely, the whole property and structures within have been compromised. For example, the shed that was Ryder's shaping bay and micro board factory for his "from scratch to finish" operation is now under water. The Ryder Family through their perseverance and determination are taking the steps to bring their property back to its almost original beautiful state. Dennis now shapes out of William Dennis Surfboards shaping bay and keeps producing beautiful functional magical surfboards under the label Dennis Ryder Surfboards. By the way, the Dennis in the William Dennis Surfboards label was because of a short partnership with Blinky (owner of WDS) in 1967. DR and I had a great recorded conversation that flowed like a 9'8" well shaped classic log. Gracias to Mr. Ryder for sharing his immense and highly valuable knowledge and anecdotes. Topics; Beginnings in surfing. Morey Pope. John Peck Penetrator. Wilderness Surfboards & Greenough Designs. Surfboard Design and its evolution. Longboards, longboards, longboards.

You get the CI Log from Channel Islands Surfboards. On this episode you will learn the backstory on how the CI Log came to be. Destiny, I'd say, brought Devon Howard to CIS and that in turn brought the otherwise unlikely partnership with Wayne Rich on the CI Log. You will hear Devon, as only he can, articulate the subtleties of this design and the anecdotes that led to it. This episode is a longboard nerds delight. Enjoy!

Taylor Jensen- A Giant of Competitive Longboarding History
2024/02/15
Send us Fan Mail THE COMEBACK EPISODE After almost two years of a sabbatical-esque break, I am back with a BANGER for all of you longboard nerds! Taylor Jensen is one of my and many peoples favorite longboarders to watch. And for good reason. One of his surfing strengths that separate him from other great world class longboarders is his fluidity connecting every maneuver within a ride with grace, speed and power. A three time LB World Champ, now reaching his 4th decade in age, he seeks with ambition and determination a WC number 4. This one though has a different aspect to it.  WSL LB competition has changed its esthetic of performance. The three time World Champ has made some adaptations to conform with the LB Tour of today. A more classic and traditional approach of longboard surfing. He had success in 2023 but things at the end did not go his way. What will 2024 bring for Mr. Jensen? Topics: The WSL LB Tour Jensen's Competitive Longboarding Transition Longboard Design Reader's Questions Etiquette Divisiveness in the LB Community  Comp LBders vs Free Surf LBders Comnpetition Longboarding of the Past.

Bill Hamilton-The Matador, Journey of a Legend.
2022/05/08
Send us Fan Mail February 2022, life takes me to Kauai, HI for a nice vacation stay in the North Shore. Few weeks prior to arrival I do a quick brainstorm session on who might be in the Hawaiian Garden Isle that could be a great guest for my podcast, maybe 15 seconds into my brainstorm session I thought  "wait isn't Billy Hamilton from Kauai?!" A quick internet search provided a  phone number for Bill. I left a voicemail and 24 hours later I was speaking to the man himself, the legend, The Matador. A date and hour was set and I had an interview with one of the most influential surfers of any generation. Surfer Magazine in 1985 mentioned BH in an article as one of "25 Surfers Whose Surfing Changed The Sport" as referenced on EOS  https://eos.surf/ Unfortunately, Billy and I had some time constraints, we had an hour and change to talk months worth of surfing history, surfboard design and personal surf anecdotes. I had to cherry pick carefully what we were to talk about, what topics would my audience prefer to hear?, what questions would lead to interesting and insightful answers from a surfing legend? The day came and I had a list of questions and topics as I usually do for my interviews and I knew the list was way too vast to conduct in an hour, so I opted anxiously, to just let the interview unfold and let it be. Well, my attempt to relax a bit and let the surf gods take care of business actually made me more stressed. I was to be dropped off at Billy's place by my party that consisted of my wife, our 7 month old baby and friends. The Crownovers sensed my tension and stress leading to the interview, because it was obvious. To give  context and justify my behaviors  to our non-surfing friends from the the Midwest who happen to be basketball fans, I told them I was about to interview the.....Kareem Abdul Jabbar of surfing, a legend of legends. They understood. Upon arrival, Billy welcomed me with plenty of aloha and an ice cold brewski, good to settle down and hit the record button. We had a good conversation that I hope you guys enjoy. I had my occasional brain fart and some language speed bumps but all in all, I am stoked with our interview.

Tommy Pierucki - Cameras, Planers and Desire.
2022/03/30
Send us Fan Mail Episode dedicated to the memory, family and friends of Peter Cole and Johnny Fain. RIP As I prepared for the TP interview, I learned some interesting facts about Tommy. One thing in particular caught me by surprise. The man that I had been following for the last few years on Instagram to satisfy my need of consuming beautiful longboarding imagery, was somewhat a newcomer to the art of surfing photography. Based on the incredible and mesmerizing pictures, I would have guessed he had been in the profession for a few decades and perhaps graduated from some fancy photography academy. TP's story is a great example for anyone that has an interest and curiosity of learning something new but might feel intimidated or insecure to follow through. If you set your mind and heart, you will make it happen! That is how Tommy rolls. The following is a synopsis on TP from his About section on his website www.pineapplesunrise.com "Originally from the Chicago area, Tommy Pierucki has been a Hawaii resident since 2013. Ever since first getting on a surfboard at Baby Queens in Waikiki in the early 2000s, he’s been determined to spend the rest of his days giving back to, enjoying, and capturing the beauty of the islands and it’s amazing people. This love drew him to work with AccesSurf, a charitable organization that helps connect those with physical and/or cognitive disabilities to the ocean.  Tommy’s interest in photography first truly took hold January 2018, and since then he had been featured on the the cover of Pacific Longboarder Magazine‘s 100th issue and published in Freesurf Magazine, premiered a film in the 2019 Honolulu Museum of Art Surf Film Festival as a #RisingTide filmmaker, has been a featured artist at the Green Room and currently at Koko Marina, was requested to photograph celebrities like Tom Holland (Spider-man), Halsey, and Lily Chee as they surfed, is a Toes on the Nose ambassador, and has had his photography featured by brands like Roxy, RVCA, Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaii Magazine, Honolulu Magazine, Japan Airlines, Billabong, Carver Skateboards, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Aqua Aston, The Surfjack Hotel, Outrigger Waikiki, Coconut Waikiki, Shoreline Hotel Waikiki, Pearl Hotel Waikiki, DoubleTree Alana, AxisGo, Aquatech Imaging Solutions, Immersion Surf Magazine, Tori Richard, Hawaii Theatre, and Prana."

Paul Strauch- A Legend Within Surfing's Genesis
2021/12/26
Send us Fan Mail I was brought up to respect my elders. Though I am respectful, most of the time ( I fault here and there lol), with everyone, there is an extra layer of admiration that I have for those who have experienced life and its challenges to their senior years. And if someones life experiences involve surfing.... boy, you gotta my attention and ears. In that context,  what if ....you are an individual that experienced the evolution of surfing , surf culture and its history by being part of it, in a bigger way than most. Then I am dumbfounded! Our interview on this episode is of such a man and surfer, an individual with an immense history of surfing accomplishments and stories. His footprints are marked eternally in the books of surfing. Due to time constraints I had to cut the interview short but not without promising Mr. Strauch that I would reach out for a second recording of his surfing memories and tales. Next time I want to do it in person so I can shake his hand and perhaps catch some waves with the man. Topics: Beginnings Waikiki 40's and 50's Duke Kahanamoku Tom Blake Custom Surfboard Surf Teachings of George Downing Surfing the North Shore for the First time Californians in Hawaii Game Changer Boards Al Nelson Surfboards Barry Kanaiaupuni The Aikau's The Ten Rapid Fire Segment Listeners Questions Shoutouts Thanks to Brandon Strauch in coordinating and helping out in making this interview possible.

Jim Russi- The Longboard Magazine Years/Behind The Lens.
2021/07/29
Send us Fan Mail As a young man in my early 20's in Puerto Rico (1990's), before the advent of social media and the internet, I was a passionate and fever-laden  longboarder. My only access to longboarding content were VHS videos at my local surf shop and the arrival of Longboard Magazine every three months. That magazine was a bible to me. My excitement in setting up and conducting an interview with the man that had such strong involvement with the mag that influenced the course  of my life was...... indescribable.  I am confident to say that many of you, especially of my generation and older individuals of our community, were fans of LM. Jim Russi was born and raised in Southern California. He learned to surf at a young age (1960's) in the Manhattan Beach area of Los Angeles County. He became interested in photography in middle school and that interest became a passion/profession  that took him around the world. He graduated from The Brooks Institute of Photography. In 1978 he took a one week vacation, post graduation, to Oahu, Hawaii. He arrived from that vacation forty years later. A proud resident of Hawaii for forty years, his contributions to surfing photography and his local surf community have brought him countless blessings and strong friendships in the surf world. His surf photography has been published in most if not all of the top surfing magazines in the world. Cover shots, two page spreads, single full page, you name it! His work has been printed and seen! In the early 90's he was approached by Longboard Magazine founder Guy Motil and was offered the job of Senior Photographer. He was instrumental in that capacity and contributed to the growth and fan base of the magazine. He traveled around the world with some of the top longboarding talents of the time, bringing to the longboard community the photos and stories of those adventures. In the late 90's Jim teamed up with Roxy and created a series of highly successful advertising campaigns that may have impacted the popularity of women's surfing especially with longboarding. Some of those ads included the surfing talents of Kassia Meador, Daize Shayne, Kelia Moniz and many others. Jim is a family man, that now lives in Ventura, CA. He is semi retired, raising his two teenage sons, surfing and attending another one of his passions, horses. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. nos vemos en el agua, Tupi Cabrera Topics: His Beginings Longboard Magazine Tyler Hatzikian Logs Massive Tavarua Working with Teenage Joel Tudor in Puerto Escondido Localism Surf Culture The Roxy Campaign How to Surf Malibu Listeners Questions The Ten Rapid Fire Segment Shoutouts and more!

Linda Cuy- Author of The Surf Sting- Surf Travels with Miki Dora and Don Wilson.
2021/03/09
Send us Fan Mail If you are a surf history nerd and are curious and willing to listen to a different perspective on one of the most controversial surfing icons in history, you are in for a treat. The author of The Surf Sting goes by the name of Linda Cuy, she is a native of Southern California and her surfing journey began in 1962. Once  upon a day in the sixties, as she was drying up by her car after a surf session  Miki "Da Cat" Dora approached her and invited her to a date, the rest of the decades long story is now history and in this interview Linda relates to us her experiences, anecdotes and close relationship with Miki and another colorful individual and charlatan,  Don "Pirate Captain" Wilson. Both men were strongly persistent for Linda's companionship, to the point of hate and violent actions between each other. On this interview/conversation I ask Linda many questions and at times I press her on different matters that she was involved in with these two questionable and adventurous  characters. It was a fun and insightful conversation.  The book is ultra entertaining and it gives you a clearer understanding on Miki Dora and his ways. Her stories with Don Wilson are as epic and dramatic as what she experienced with Dora. A great read! I hope you enjoy! Tupi The book is available on Amazon. Keywords -The Surf Sting by Linda Cuy.
