$We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsVAUGHAN BLAKEY, THE MAN WITH 16 GEARSPresenting yourself in public is not as easy as it seems. When you’re simultaneously presenting as a manic super-frother, a cool headed CT analyst, a party-time ringmaster and a semi rock star, it could easily turn pretty pear-shaped. Yet Vaughan Blakey contains multitudes, and there’s a very calm and considered person in the centre of this Swellian/mag editor/film producer/extraordinary Australian character. Nick and Hannah sit Vaughan-o on the other side of the mic for a fascinating trip behind the froth. Plus! A ridiculously simple tip on how to self-check your surfing style from the inside...2025-08-121h 09 $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsIS SURFING REALLY JUST PORN?The first week of August was fantastic wherever you looked. Indonesia, Tahiti, south shore Hawaii, and the whole east coast of Australia — where wasn’t pumping. But what happened next left us feeling vaguely ick. These amazing surf zones were mined mercilessly for clicks: single-ride superwaves dumped endlessly on top of each other across social media, till it felt like you’d seen too much of something you shouldn’t. Is surf culture unintentionally reducing gold to lead here? Is this surfing or just cheap pornography? Nick and Hannah semi-seriously rip through a trend as grating as it is understa...2025-08-0745 min $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsDID ANYONE MAKE YOU A KILLER WETSUIT?“The Big Sea” is one of the surf culture’s films of the year. It’s won awards, most recently at the Noosa Film Festival, for its harrowing portrayal of the toll taken on a Black community in Louisiana, USA, by a nearby petrochemical factory that makes the base ingredient for neoprene. “Cancer Alley”, it’s called. The implication that surfing is somehow connected to Cancer Alley is clear: according to film-makers Chris Nelson and Lewis Arnold, this is “surfing’s dirty little secret.” But when we watched the film, we were surprised to find no direct, on-the-record link being made between t...2025-07-241h 06 $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsGRAND FINALESIn this episode, Hannah and Nick go super-nerd on the WSL CT’s big-hitting Teahupo’o event. This is the last straight up CT of 2025, and nothing is quite as it seems! While the top women seem to have sorted out who’s who, they face an extremely dangerous wildcard in Vahine Fierro. And on the other side of the gender gap, things are all over the shop. At least eight surfers are in the hunt for the final five, none of them have really owned the year, and THEY face not just one wildcard in Olympic champion Kauli Vaast...2025-07-2158 min $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsSHAUN TOMSON CAN’T WATCH JORDY SMITHIt’s a difficult situation, for sure. You’re the only world professional surfing champ from your country in HISTORY, and a kid 30 years your junior is not super far from a shot at the title. No wonder Shaun Tomson weeps when Jordy Smith loses a heat! But that’s far from the only thing on the mind of this legendary king of tube riding. While our last guest, MR, cuts blanks for a living, fellow ‘70s superstar Shaun spends his life encouraging people to be the very best they can — including Hannah, who is given an awful task to complet...2025-07-161h 04 $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsMR AND THE SURF TRIP JINXWe asked the great Mark Richards to join us because it suddenly struck us: here’s someone who won four world titles in a row with no coaching, no diet advice, no personal strength trainer, and a bunch of self-shaped twin-fins. How many might he have won with all of that?? But there’s so much more to MR than coaching or any of that stuff. In this, his very first podcast appearance, the humble and clear-minded Mark explores the Cone of Silence, Gerry Lopez’s artistic power planing skills, his two week apprenticeship with Dick Brewer, why he loves...2025-07-021h 14 $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsHOW TO FIND YOUR PLACEA Special Live Podcast from Seas The Day“Hey mate, I’m a 66 year old woman and I’m struggling! And you’re taking my wave!” Here’s how the fantastic Toni Sawyer describes calling an errant hassler to account recently on a small day at Cabarita, NSW. Toni is part of one of Australia surfing’s great generations — think Pam Burridge, Pauline Menczer, Jodie Cooper — and she’s been finding her place in lineups for over 50 years. Be enthralled as she and the equally fantastic Liliana Bowrey join Nick and Hannah at the recent Seas The Day festival, and cl...2025-06-2553 min $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsLAST RIDE WITH UNCLE CLYDEOne of the great surfing lives recently came to an end with the passing of Hawaii’s Clyde Aikau. On the eve of his memorial paddle-out ceremony at Waikiki next week, Nick and Hannah recall their encounters with the amazing, larger-than-life Clyde, and his astonishing efforts over many years to share the legacy of his brother Eddie with the world, through the Eddie Aikau Invitational, the greatest surf gathering of all time. You can honor Clyde’s legacy wherever you are, on ceremony day, June 26, just by catching one last wave for Uncle Clyde. 2025-06-2151 min $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsSURFING COWGIRLS UNITE!Seas The Day is the world’s warmest surf festival. Which is weird since it happens on winter solstice weekend. It should be freezing! But it won’t be, because Seas The Day’s purpose is not aligned with cold. On June 21-22 at Kingscliff, NSW, it draws together some of surfing’s smartest and most involved women for two days of inspiration, stoke and fun. But how do things like Seas The Day fit into a surf culture that’s constantly evolving? Nick and Hannah drag in festival pioneer Belén Alvarez Kimble to find out.2025-06-1349 min $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsCHALLENGING TIMESOf the world’s many pro surfing tragics, few are as tragic as your unlikely hosts. Maybe that’s why we’re so tweaked by the WSL’s much-surfed yet little understood Challenger Series, where 14 year old supergrommets, old school ex-superstars, and dozens of hopeful nationalities do battle in search of the CT limelight. What little surfing society is this, and how come it’s just been given a ticket to none other than the Coliseum itself, Pipeline? The gracious and super skilled Jacob Willcox joins Nick and Hannah from Newcastle, NSW to help us all understand the Changa that much...2025-06-0249 min $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsWAY BEYOND CROWDSLearning about each other in the surf is the basis of our wacky friendship. It’s why this poddy even exists! But conversations about the lineup often seem so basic — let’s face it, is there anything more tedious than complaining about crowds? There’s a lot more going on out there. In this fantastic and very challenging episode, Nick and Hannah talk with brilliant surfer/academic Dr Rebecca Olive, who takes us into some very deep water indeed.2025-05-271h 05 $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsREVELATIONS FROM PRO-WORLDAfter 10 days at Burleigh Heads, Nick and Hannah stagger back home with their heads full of WSL gossip. But what’s actually happening at the sport’s pointy end, what calls are being made and who’s making ‘em? We enlist one of pro surfing’s happiest back room operators, Christian Bessera of the surfers’ organisation WPS, to explore how the surfers make it all work the way they want.2025-05-201h 01 $We Shouldn\'t Be Friends$ We Shouldn't Be FriendsYour Town - CoolangattaIn this very special episode, we head north to the land of right-hand pointbreaks, the southern Gold Coast, and ask four fantastic guests to explain for us what makes it home. Recorded live at the Coolangatta Sands with Jay Phillips, Dean Morrison, Sally Paxton and Jesse Starling. First of a series from Australia’s great surf towns, supported by Flotsam Festival and Surfing World magazine.2025-05-061h 11
