Today we chat with Surfer, Stuntman, Coach, and Father Love Hodel @cleanfeetfreak . Love talks about getting into surfing, because it helped him escape the craziness of his home life, and surfing was challenging for him.  When he realized he wanted more, he headed over to the North Shore and quickly understood that this was where it was, pushing your limits in powerful surf.  Love remembers traveling around the world and surfing, but also recognized that it was a chance to check out the world and soak in different cultures.  He tells us how today he works as a stuntman, but funny enough, he works on land mostly. And did Love really get into a fight with Occy? Find Out!
This is a two-part series, next up, we talk about The Hodel Family name and its History. You don't wanna miss Part 2.

In today's episode, we speak with Hawaiian Legend Tony Moniz @tonymoniz , from his home on the South Shore of Oahu. He told us about surfing Town with the guys and didn't realize that surfing would one day take him around the world. Tony says he had a hard time in school and that surfing educated him in many ways. He talks about working hard for the city of Honolulu and one day looking over at his co-workers and deciding that he wanted something else for his life.  So Tony made it happen, he saved money and did well at the Stubbies surf contest at Queens,  his stomping grounds. With that, he was able to fly around the world to compete in the ASP. Tony explains how surfing Sunset, Pipe, and Waimea helped him accomplish his dream of getting an invite to The Duke.  And was Tony's first fight while surfing, really in California? Find Out!

This week, we all should draw inspiration from our guest, pro surfer, firefighter, and ocean safety master, Vetea David @veteadavid . He started surfing at age 8 in Tahiti, and it quickly became his passion. When he was 18, he decided to turn pro, and he talked about climbing the ratings year after year, but the one year he was leading the ASP rankings,  he, unfortunately, sustained an injury, but he kept surfing the many events even though he wasn't 100%. Vetea tells us about going out on every big swell in his home waters for the last 30 years and saving so many lives. He describes doing it because it's the right thing to do and for the love of the sport. And did Vetea ditch school, and travel to a nearby island with perfect waves to film a surf movie? Find out!

In this episode, we talk with Matt Myers @mr_mattmyers from Myers Surf Mentorship @myerssurfmentorship . Matt describes how it was growing up in the crazy and vibrant surf town of Santa Cruz, and how being a Jr. Lifeguard paved the path to a life in and around surfing. He recalls scaling cliffs to get into the water and says the kids these days have it easy, with the staircases that now grant them access to the ocean in SC. Matt's memories bring him back to having fun doing skits for the surf movie trilogy Get Rad by Kyle Buthman, which is based around the surfers of Santa Cruz. He chats about leaving the security of SC, and moving to Southern California, taking a job for Rip Curl, being in charge of The Grom Search, and sometimes living the life of eight hours behind a desk. During the pandemic, Myers decided to take up coaching full-time, and he says his job is to be the support team and to make the athlete as comfortable as possible because if you are feeling confident, clear-headed, and fired-up, you will excel. And did Matt lose his temper during his heat during the Cold Water Classic? Find Out!

In this episode, we chat with San Clemente's Ian Crane @ian_crane , where he opens up about moving to San Clemente at 9 years old, and how it was intimidating not knowing anyone. But after walking into class, he recognized Kolohe Andino from surfing NSSA. They quickly became the best of friends.  He remembers his first few surf trips, and how fun it was surfing with his friends away from home. In some ways, it hasn't changed much for him to this day. Ian says Ireland is like a cold water Indo, with perfect waves over a shallow reef, and with the wetsuits today, you are warmer than being in boardshorts.  He talks about breaking his foot recently while surfing a perfect point break in Morocco, and with the assistance of the locals, he was really taken care of. And did Ian really eat raw horse meat? Find Out!

In the newest episode, we talk with veteran pro surfer Rochelle Ballard @rochelleballard .  She tells us Hawaii is a special place and how she is lucky to call it home. Rochelle describes what it was like living on Kauai, she grew up getting primal, playing in the ocean, fishing, spear fishing, hiking in the mountains, and surfing. The only rule was to be home before sun the went down. She talks about surfing with the guys, from North Shore and all around the island.  In her first contest, she remembers surfing the women's division with only 2 other women in her heat. When she goes on to the ASP/WSL world tour, she realizes that her competitors are really family, because you are with them more than your family at home. Ballard describes what it was like surfing Pipeline while filming for Blue Crush. Today you can find Rochelle in Kauai where she has graduated to operating her own course on mind, body, and wellness retreat.

In today's episode, we speak with Tim Curran @_timcurran , and we revisit his time as a pro surfer and he tells us just how he became a musician. Tim remembers his 1st open faced, green water wave, and to this day, that wave is responsible for hooking him into surfing. He recalls his childhood days, surfing all day long, and being told to come home before the lights came on. When Tim surfed his first contest, he found out that there were others his age  from different areas surfing as well, and after getting a trophy in that event, he realized he was competitive and wanted to beat his friends. After becoming buddies with the Malloys, Tim's world opened up and he tells us how hanging with them opened doors, from being able to meet Kelly Slater, to connecting  and eventually filming with Taylor Steele.  Tim talks about his other passion, music and how fast it happened, from playing around in between heats with his guitar, to one day playing in front of huge crowds opening up for bands like The Foo Fighters and Switchfoot. And does Tim and son Oli really know the perfect waist high and  barrelling wave? Find out!!!

Today's guest loves big heavy lefts, cold water and thin crowds!  He is truly an all around nice guy,  all the way from Ireland, Gearoid Mcdaid @gearoidmcdaid. He confesses to us, even though the water gets super cold and waves are heavy, that it gets really good, and that helps motivate him to get out there and surf. Gearoid tells us that even though he is charging slabs, he has to push himself and there are days that he still gets scared. He tells us about how lucky he is because the zone where he lives, are mostly hefty lefts, which is his strong suit. Gearoid says that the Irish surf community is the best around, everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and says how stoked he is on the up and coming Irish groms. He talks about the final he made at a specialty event  in the Canary Islands and how cool it was surfing perfect lefts with hardly anyone out. And when Gearoid is visiting America, does anyone tell him how Irish they are? Find Out!

Today we have very special guests Save Oceanside Sand @sosoceanside, Bob Ashton, and Bob Walker, along with Oceanside City Coastal Zone Administrator, Jayme Timberlake. They discuss with us the current state of Oceanside beaches, and how we are losing sand every year due to our lack of natural and man-made sand retention structures. They tell us how Jayme along with a group of engineers are coming up with innovative solutions that will retain sand and fit into the criteria of being able to perform and not have a negative impact. This is not a quick fix and will take time. But we have been doing the same thing decade after decade and expecting a different result. And that is the definition of insanity. We need to do something different to change the outcome and get sand on our beaches! Let's all be involved in this process to improve our beaches.

He reveals that the first few years as a pro, he enjoyed traveling and making friends surfing, and didn't start getting serious about contest until he got a little bit more clear headed in his mid 20's.  He tells us about falling off tour and how he made it back on to the WCT. Gabe tells us his thoughts about the new WSL format and about how Kelly Slater still  is surfing at a crazy high level. And did Gabe almost drown twice while surfing during Hurricane Hugo? Find out!
