  • Conversations that slowly unravel the labyrinth of surf culture

    I recently listened to your interview with Devon Howard on the greyhound up to the Noosa Festival of Surfing. Your conversation with Devon felt like a slow unraveling of the labyrinth of surf culture and had so many touch points to my individual surf experience—I had to pause a chuckle a few times at the absurdity.

  • Corky Carroll?

    Jamie, I love listening to your podcast!! I’m in the midst of reading “Hobie, Master of water, wind and waves”. Corky Carroll is mentioned quite a bit in the book and I know he’s still around. One of my surf friends works with him. I’d like to hear his perspective on his surf history.
