Welsome back! **Dont forget the BSP Fantasy League, details on the 'Gram**This Episode is a deep dive into the world of the Woz with Down South surf physio Trevor Lawrence Brown, Board Store boss Sammy Tucker, and a of course Tbone and Namu along for the ride.We get into the not-so-glam side of tour life—injuries, rehabs, and how surfers somehow keep paddling out when their bodies are hanging on by tape and good intentions. Trev breaks down what actually goes wrong (more often than you’d think), and what it takes to get athletes back in the water without falling apart mid-heat.From there we delve into how the top crew prepare, the mindset needed to compete at that level, and why surfing in places like Hawaii hits a little different.There’s plenty of opinion flying around too—who’s looking sharp, who might be in trouble, and which rookies are about to make some noise.It’s part surf analysis, part storytelling, and part friendly debate… with a few bold calls that may or may not age well by mid-season.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Episode01:34 Guest Introductions and Backgrounds05:35 Injury Insights in Professional Surfing11:17 The Role of Physios in Surfing17:05 Upcoming Events and Competitions23:02 Surfing Culture and Community28:59 New Surfers on the Tour34:26 Predictions for the Season Ahead42:45 Mindset and Performance in Surfing46:57 The Importance of Mental Coaching52:00 Analyzing Upcoming Surfers58:05 Rookies and Rising Stars01:04:13 The Return of Experienced Competitors01:07:26 Predictions for Dropouts01:09:50 Community and Local Surfing IssuesJump on in Flegends!

In this episode of the Barrelled Surf Podcast, Namu drops in for a proper yarn with Freya Prumm — one of Australia’s most powerful and quietly driven surfers… who somehow juggles life as a fully qualified pharmacist while competing on the world stage. Yes, seriously. Rail turns and airs by morning, prescriptions by afternoon.We dig into Freya’s journey through competitive surfing, the mental game behind high-pressure heats, and the waves that have built both her confidence and her fear (sometimes in the same session). Balancing a career in pharmacy with the chaos of the world tour, Freya breaks down discipline, sacrifice, and what it really takes to chase performance when your schedule is doing airs of its own.From QS grind realities to flow-state moments, board choices, training routines, and surf trips that definitely didn’t go to plan — this episode pulls the curtain back on pro surfing beyond the highlight reel (and the Instagram filters).There’s plenty of laughs, honest reflection, and proper surf-culture gold as Freya proves you can be both clinically precise and absolutely feral on a rail (and in the air)— all while holding onto the love of surfing that got her there in the first place.If you’re into real surf talk, performance mindset, and stories from the road — this one’s for you.
