Love it have learnt so much thanks Cory. From surf history to practical knowledge of shaping. Awesome
Such a good podcast. Doesn’t muck around and calls it how it is. If your keen to learn and grow your board, shaper, technique knowledge base this is a super listen. I’ve learnt so much from tuning in. Has changed my approach to surf technique and board selection 100%.
Great concept. So good to focus on shapers and share some technical aspects of shaping.
This podcast should be at the top of every surfer and shapers podcast list.
Tons of knowledge and experience pouring out of these two, I’m surprised they aren’t charging for it!
