A quick one this week as Adzy catches up with 2024 Margies Trials winner Otis North. With a main event spot now all his, Otis will take on Griffin Colapinto and Seth Moniz in the opening round. No pressure! Adzy grills the Yallingup grom about his hopes for the comp and future plans. Hint - perfect waves and V8s!

Pipeline, Sunset, Portugal and now to Bells. The Women's side of the draw has been far more interesting and way more progressive then the Men's so far. Former Pro, Team Manager and Surf Shop Owner Holly Monkman joins us to break down the reasons why and what's to come during the remainder of the year. A unique insider's account of the tour, with stories on how she lost her sponsorship to some grom called Stef, and how another Mate rose to the top of the Wozzle Ranks. Jump in, it's a ripper!

This Week,Tbone and Adzy sit down with the incredibly talented Lensman Peter Jovic. Pete's use of light, especially in the dawn hours is something of rare beauty. It's also handy that he is a very acomplished surfer, excellent waterman and all round top bloke. Join the lads as Pete describes not one, but two separate run ins with Eddy Rothman in Hawaii, being tackled down a stair well by a new "friend" in Portugal and seeing his work on the cover of seminal (sadly finished) surf bible, White Horses. It's another Ripper, brought to you by Cheeky Monkey, Forester Estate, Shark Eyes and Down South Physio.  Jump in Flegends!

Jake Paterson is back in the Coaching game! No more 9-5 office jockeying for WA's favourite son Fulltime on the WCT in 2024, this is huge news and arguably the best thing to happen to the Woz since COVID. Coaching Kanoa, Kade, Sawyer and Ethan EWWWWWing, Snake takes us through his 2024 plans.  Expect 'CT wins, Olympic medals and a dummy spit or two, bring on the BANZAI! You know Snake, you know this is epic, jump on in FLEGENDS!

This week we sit down in the Barrelled Surf Podcast Treetop Studio with Andy Ross, Chairman of Surf Park Developer Aventuur. Firstly, Andy gives us his take on the history of the wavepool scene, the ups and downs and how computing power has revolutionised the industry, leading to custom designed waves at the click of a mouse. He also shows us where the scene is going and provides an update on projects around the globe, including the highly anticipated Perth Park, scheduled to open in 2026. Joining us in the treetops to talk man made froth are former BSP guests, Benny McCarthy and Billy Gibson. So jump in, the water is warm, the waves are chlorinated and the future is near.

Like a rumbling in the jungle, an approaching storm front, an uprising of the people - the Women were coming and at the Pipeline, they arrived. No more sitting back and waiting for Backdoor leftovers or onshore Beach Park, NO, that will not do. Give us 8-10 ft flawless backdoor and raging Pipe Pits. As Kevin Costner said in Field of Dreams, "Build it and they will come". History beckoned and was made. Pipeline's really is for the Fucking Girls. Oh, and there is some AI in this episode, too.

This week we get into the WSL South African leg. From Toledo's dominance at the fabled Supertubes to the ongoing Wozzle judging controversies, it's all here. But don't forget Bronte Macaulay's huge win at Ballito, which has catapulted the West Oz charger into 5th place on the CS rankings! Namu and Adzy also regale Tbone with epic stories of their respective Northern sojurns and Tbone gets himself a little ol' FOMO. Jump in Flegends, the shed is warm, it's full of Cheeky Monkeys and Forester Estate wine.
