Also, we discus boards and equipment as well as it being Mitch's 100th episode on the podcast. Also, apologies for Mitch's audio in this.

“Hello & Welcome back to The UK Surf Show, episode 156 — Lost Shore, Boards and the Hi-land Fling. This week we’ve been chasing waves, testing boards, and talking absolute surf nonsense from the cold-water corners of the UK scene. We’ve got a stacked quiver on review this episode including the Dominator Pro, the Great White Twin, the Al Merrick Torq M23, the Extra Chardo, and the TJ Pro Mid — from twin-fin glide to mid-length flow and everything in between. We’re diving into what worked, what didn’t, and which boards had us looking like heroes… or complete kooks. Plus, stories from the Hi-land Fling. So wax up, grab a brew, and settle in — this is The UK Surf Show.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of the UK surf show, we chat to 4 random wavepool guys, Elliot, Reuben, Michael and Phil. We met these guys at Lost Short in April 2025 and after a conversation we thought it'd be nice to get them on the show, predominantly only surfing wave pools we thought it would be a good insight into how surfing is changing.  Hosted on Acast.

Episode 152 of the UK Surf Show Podcast comes in hot with a chaotic blend of surf, stamina, and stories that probably shouldn’t have made it past the group chat. Mitch is back doing what he does best—scoring waves at St. Andrews like it’s just another casual day at the office—while Pete lives a double life, bouncing between the engineered perfection of The Wave and the wild, wind-battered reality of Bude. We’ve also got a drop-in session with Kookville Clothing, bringing a bit of surf culture and style into the mix. But this episode quickly derails (in the best way possible). We get into bike rides that turned into survival missions, running that felt more like slow-motion suffering, and an unforgettable encounter with an old lady… who may or may not have stolen the show. It’s dramatic. It’s ridiculous. It’s surf chat with a heavy side of “how did we get here?”—and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 151 – AdSurf Surfing is for everyone — and this week we’re talking about the people making that a reality. In this episode we dive into AdSurf, the adaptive surfing charity based in Bude, Cornwall, helping people with disabilities, neurodiversity, and mental health challenges experience the joy of the ocean. Founded in 2022, AdSurf is all about removing barriers to surfing — from seated boards and tandem rides to fully supported sessions that get more people into the water. We chat about the rise of adaptive surfing, the power of community on the beach, and why the simple act of catching a wave can mean so much more than just a ride. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about performance — it’s about doing what you love and making the ocean accessible to everyone. https://www.adsurf.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Episode 150 – Far Wooden Surfboards In this milestone 150th episode of the podcast, we drift a little further from the shoreline and into the grain of something timeless — wooden surfboards. From hand-shaped hollow builds in sheds to the quiet resurgence of craftsmanship across the UK coast, we’re talking foam-free lines, salt-stung fingers, and the kind of glide you just don’t get off a pop-out. There’s history in timber. There’s patience in planing. And there’s something beautifully stubborn about choosing wood in a world of epoxy shortcuts. We chat with Frazer the maker keeping it alive, This is Episode 150 — Far Wooden Surfboards Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
