Surf TownSTUART CAMPBELLSTUART CAMPBELL -... Stuart, a well-known Noosa surfboard shaper, is Keith's guest on this episode of SURF TOWN. Stuart is a much sought-after shaper due to his reputation for well-shaped, hand-crafted, high-performance shortboards under the CAMPBELL DESIGNED label. With a deep experience as a life-long surfer, shaper and thinker Stuart brings many ideas and innovative designs to his shaping. Together with his son Ryan, (both are ex-pro surfers) Stuart invented, developed and patented a unique stringer replacement system that comprises multiple staggered layers of carbon fibre built in a...2025-04-2444 minSurf TownTHE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV ... Story 5 - BYRON BAYTHE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV ... Story 5 - BYRON BAY PARENTS DISOWN SON FOR CHOOSING A MEDICAL CAREER OVER BECOMING A YOGA INSTRUCTOR.... The mystery of Vladimir's whereabouts deepens into a concern. Previously, Keith had Vladimir's girlfriend Tatianna Lovesalotavic in the studio, who whilst giving assurances that Vladimir would be okay (see Story 3 -THE MERMAID'S DREAM), has now herself gone to ground somewhere deep in the South Pacific. Most likely Tahiti. However, Keith has recently been chatting with Vladimir's sister Olga, so he and his SURF...2025-04-2110 minSurf TownDAVID "MEX" SUMPTERDAVID "MEX" SUMPTER -... Many surfers grew up virtually right on the beach, making their surfing life almost inevitable. David, and his brother Rodney, started life in England well away from any surfing scene that might have drawn them in. However due to their parents deciding to move to Australia and set up home on Sydney's northern beach suburbs, well within easy reach of the surf, they too quickly found surfing as if pre-ordained for them. Also, David was right there watching the first wave of visiting Americans riding malibu surfboards...2025-03-1939 minSurf TownTHE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV ... Story 4 - SEX WAX SAGATHE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV ... Story 4 - SEX WAX SAGA - While the current whereabouts of Vladimir B. Waxanov remains a mystery and a concern, Keith decided to upload one of Vladimir's cheekiest short stories to keep his fun-loving spirit to the fore. As there is next to no Woke emphasis in Russia, especially Vladimir's traditional home village, he was shocked at how easily some of us Aussies are offended. Especially over what he considers to be something trivial and of no great im...2025-03-0709 minSurf TownDISCUSSION TABLE 101. Topic: John "JC" Charlton's favourite surfers. - Part 2DISCUSSION TABLE 101. Topic: John "JC" Charlton's favourite surfers.... JC mentioned, when he was in the studio previously, that he'd like to record an episode concerning his list of favourite surfers. So Keith invited him back to sit down for another session on SURF TOWN to discuss his list along with the question, "What is style?" - and a few other observations. It certainly was interesting. Of course, any such list is subjective. Most surfers can easily name their favourite surfers - which would swing w...2025-02-2835 minSurf TownJOHN 'JC' CHARLTON - Part 1JOHN 'JC' CHARLTON JC doesn't need too big an introduction to Queensland surfers as he has been a familiar face talking about surfing on their TV screens for a very long time. But what they may not know is some of his rich back story. JC has been a surfboard maker, worked in the surfwear industry with Billabong, a radio surf reporter, chief reporter and editor of TV's ch 7 Coastalwatch in Queensland for 20 years and a surf commentator at Noosa's Festival of Surfing. With a long life of surfing behind him...2025-02-2032 minSurf TownDIAN HADIANIDIAN HADIANI... Phoning in from Bali, East Java local Dian Hadiani chats with Keith concerning her book, "The Chronicles of G'land" which focuses on Java's fabled surf spot Grajagan, known affectionately across the surfing world as G/land. With, the following introduction on her web page, "Bobby's Surf Camp; Behind the Legendary Tales - describes how feral surfers discovered this magical place ..." it promised to be an interesting interview. And it was. Covering the economic and environmental changes brought about with the ongoing presence of the surfers, Mike...2025-02-1524 minSurf TownDISCUSSION TABLE 101.

Richard Wallace joins Keith in the studio to discuss SURFING WORLD'S lastest edition featuring their pick for surfing's fifty most interesting surfers. It's by no means definitive as there would be any number of people who could qualify. So who to include and who to exclude? It's a tough call. Still, SURFING WORLD bravely laid it down, and it is quite an impressive list. Certainly one open for discussion and one Richard, a long-time Noosa surfer, was happy to chat with Keith about...2025-02-0732 minSurf TownCHANNA SENARATNECHANNA SENARATNE - ... It's not every day you get to chat with a man who is a restauranteur, a chef, a commercial fisherman, a surf charter boat operator and skipper, a manager of a surf camp, overseer of surf holidays that gave something back to the island locals, an importer, an exporter and owner of a private catering service - and all the while surfing some of the world's best waves along the way. Keith's SURF TOWN guest, Channa Senaratne for this episode is and has done all of the above - and m...2025-01-3137 minSurf TownRICHARD von WILDEMANNRICHARD von WILDEMANN -... It was a pleasure for Keith to welcome Richard onto SURF TOWN as his first international phone-in guest. Richard is an all-round waterman who has thrived on the wild beaches and coastline of South Africa. His story is a surprisingly similar one to the overwhelming majority of Australian surfers whose first introduction to the surf was via their family and the local Surf Life Saving movement. From Nippers (very junior Life Saving training and competition) to board-riding, to riding all manner of surf craft...2025-01-2327 minSurf TownJOHN FINLAY - NOOSA FESTIVAL OF SURFING ...JOHN FINLAY - NOOSA FESTIVAL OF SURFING ...- John Finlay, Chairman of Noosa's Festival of Surfing, certainly has an unusual story concerning how he came to pick up the running of this premier surfing event. It all started when he semi-retired to the Sunshine Coast an hour's drive south of Noosa. Semi-retirement generally means you reduce your busy life with the view to gradually fade out of full-time work. However, it didn't work out that way for John. An opportunity came along that was too good to refuse...2025-01-1629 minSurf TownDAMIEN KINGDAMIEN KING -... Three-time World Bodyboarding Champion Damien King had an unusual introduction to surfing. It's quite common for surfing champions to grow up close to the beach and thrive amongst mates who all surfed and hung together at their local surf spot. But not Damien (known far and wide as "Kingy"). Sure he eventually found his place in the local line-up, but even then he forged a different path marked with fierce, competitive determination to be the best he could be. Fuelled by deep personal motivation Kingy...2025-01-1428 minSurf TownTHE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV - Story 3THE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV ... Story 3 - THE MERMAID'S DREAM... A few friends had contacted Keith stating they weren't so sure about this Vladimir Boris Waxanov bloke. Geopolitics aside, they express skepticism as to his actual existence. And then, right on cue, as if Vladimir willed it into being, his girlfriend Tatianna Lovesalotavic paid Keith a visit. Which, meant of course, he had a chance to speak with her on this SURF TOWN episode featuring another of Vladimir's stories. Being the gentleman that he i...2025-01-0211 minSurf TownPHIL JARRATT - Part 1PHIL JARRATT - Part 1... Phil Jarratt has probably lived the surfing life as fully and richly as humanly possible. With a working life as an author, a journalist, a publisher, surf shop owner and filmmaker - all inspired by surfing, he still managed to keep riding waves throughout his decades - and the world. Reading his CV alone almost makes you tired ... and he's still going! After 50 years of experience in international and Australian media encompassing a stint as editor of Tracks magazine, associate editor of Surfer...2024-12-1030 minSurf TownPHIL JARRATT - Part 2PHIL JARRATT - Part 2... One interview with Phil Jarratt left this interviewer with a desire to hear more of his wide-ranging surfing life and stories. Certain that others would as well I pressed Phil for another round. Graciously he came into the studio for a second interview, which proved to be every bit as fascinating as his first one. How could it not be? One could easily pick a single period of his life - say, for example, his four-year stint as editor of Tracks magazine and there...2024-12-1025 minSurf TownTHE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV - Story 2THE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV...

Somewhat surprising as the title may be, so are the comments from national surfing bodies revealed in this unusual tale. But then again Vladimir does get around, certainly well off the beaten surfing track and mixes with some interesting people. And some very surprising people too i...2024-11-2210 minSurf TownPETER HUDSONPeter Hudson... With three Australian shortboard and three Australian longboard titles, three New South Wales State shortboard and six New South Wales State longboard titles, a twenty-five-year surf shop ownership, a decades-long surfboard coaching and surf school record behind him, it's fair to say that Peter (Huddo) Hudson has lived a life soaked with surfing. Growing up virtually right on the beach where he discovered a discarded surfboard at the age of nine certainly got him off to a good start that's for sure. And once he started Peter never looked back...2024-11-2235 minSurf TownCHAD WHATLEYCHAD WHATLEY... Chad Whatley represents a new breed of young surf entrepreneurs. There was a day when surf shops only sold surfboards that were constructed on the premises. You'd walked in to be greeted with the air thick with resin fumes. Maybe a couple of board shorts and t/shirts on a rack to the side. These days you walk into a surf shop and be overwhelmed with the racks and racks of clothes brandishing all sorts of trending labels. With the surfboards stacked up at the back or...2024-11-2129 minSurf TownBOBBY ATKINS - Part TwoBOBBY ATKINS - Part Two... Bobby Atkins is back in the studio to recount more of his surfing life. A lot is personal about his surfboards, his surfing but along the way he tells of many characters who have added so much to Noosa's rich surfing history. Surprisingly, but then again maybe not so much, Bobby never surfed shortboards. Always mals, well longboards for you Americans. Trends never do mean much to real originals. Towards the end of this podcast some of Bobby's Noosa stories drifted to the action on land with...2024-11-2129 minSurf TownBOBBY ATKINS - Part OneBOBBY ATKINS - Part One ... Bobby (Bobby Barrel or Bobby Beach - depending on who you talk to) Atkins is a unique Noosa original. Really .. as he was amongst the very first to surf the fabulous points of Noosa back in the 1960's. With only a few years of surfing under his belt he arrived in Noosa on that first day to see the surf at Noosa's First Point and National Park peeling perfectly towards shore and not a sole out surfing. It was high summer with glorious sub-tropical weather caressing sparkling blue w...2024-11-2027 min

In contrast to Peta's experience Keith's writing experience has been quite chequered, to say the least. With one novel (never published), a novella (never published), an edition of short stories (co-authored and heard on Keith's other podcast "Surf Town"), a handbook on taekwondo, a small, satirical book on politics and culture (soon to be available on Amazon), a who-knows-what sort-of-book on relationships (also never published), a history book on surfing that was published, his...2024-11-1331 minSurf TownTHE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV - Story 1THE AUDACIOUS SURF TALES OF VLADIMIR BORIS WAXANOV ... Story 1 - THE BALLARD OF OWEN ROBERTS ... Once us Aussies discovered the surf in Bali we invaded. There was hardly a beach anywhere along its coast, and beyond, where you couldn't swing a cat without hitting half a dozen Australian surfers at any given time. Now it's the turn of the Russians. Yes, they have finally come - although not armed with Kalashnikovas AK-47s but surfboards.

Cronulla boy Dane was born into a surfing family with deep roots in the local surf scene and industry. As long as he can remember Dane's father has always made surfboards. When Floyd Smith, partner of the famed American surfboard brand Gordon and Smith, set up a surfboard factory in Cronulla in 1965 it wasn't too long before his father worked there. The coastline around Cronulla is wave-rich with slabs, beach breaks and rock-bottom coves - a stretch of beaches that has nurtured a long...2024-10-3127 minSurf TownDANE WILSON - Part twoDANE WILSON - Part two... Dane has more surf stories that we can fit into a thirty-five-minute podcast. Yet somehow he manages to tell quite a few, pass some interesting observations of surfing and surfboards, plus recount some of his family's, and his own, adventures. Any one of those topics, with Dane's re-telling, could have easily stretched out into many, many minutes. Probably longer. With a life deeply rich in surfing the young Cronulla charger is still well and truly alive in Dane. Albeit somewhat tempered with maturity but...2024-10-3129 minSurf TownMIKE DAVIS - Part 1MIKE DAVIS - Part 1Mike is one of the first Californian surfers to immigrate to Australia in the 1970s, arriving about the same time as fellow American surfers Bob Cooper and Rusty Miller. It didn't take long before Mike established himself in the Australian surf scene with his enthusiasm for surfing and working within the surf industry along Australia's east coast. Mike shaped surfboards for Nat Young, Bob Cooper, John Skipp and many others. Mike also ran his surf shop in Kiama, situated on the south coast of New...2024-10-2824 minSurf TownMIKE DAVIS Part 2MIKE DAVIS Part 2Part 2 sees Mike in the studio to share a free-ranging conversation about his surfing life. He talks of a lap-over between California and Australia which is quite interesting - particularly from an American expat who has lived here for nigh on fifty years. And what it was like in the early days being an American (Seppo) making his way along the Australian East Coast into the Aussie surfing world, the people he met and the life he made for himself here in Oz. 2024-10-2832 minSurf TownPETER WHITE PART 2Peter White Part 2Picking up from where he finished last time, Peter is back in the studio to talk more about his surfing life - particularly as a surfboard shaper. With such vast experience across the globe from the east coast of Australia to Asia, USA, Europe and beyond Peter drops some good stories. Particularly, the one about Spain. His is a very full life of shaping surfboards and one that our short time doesn't fully do justice to. But such is its depth, that what Peter does share, is well worth listening to. Along...2024-10-2829 minSurf TownPETER WHITE – Part 1PETER WHITE – Part 1Our Surf Town guest today is Peter White. Peter is the Noosa-based, internationally respected shaper and owner of Classic Malibu. And indeed they are, as so many of Peter’s beautifully crafted longboards are to be found all around the world ridden by countless surfers who treasure them. They are surfboards for all surfers of all levels right up to top competitors in Australia and overseas – including professionals. Peter was almost born on the beach and with an international life infused with surfing this episode tells us more about the man. 2024-10-0423 min
