Sunday Surf Poem: Surfers by Deb Jones

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/12

Sunday Surf Poem is back and this week we’re featuring Surfers by Deborah Jones, a reflective piece that captures the quiet solitude, decisions, and presence of the lineup.

Hey Zuz, I am confused: Am I too needy?

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/11

This one’s for the quietly needy among us (hi, hello, it’s me too). A reader wrote in to ask: “Am I too needy for wanting a surf buddy who actually cheers me on?” In today’s episode, I offer a not-at-all-clinically-sound but fully human response. We talk about praise, progress, and the power of a single “you got this!” in the lineup. Because sometimes, all we need is someone to say, “You’re doing okay.”

How Peri became the “Queen of the Microwaves” at 65

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/10

Meet Peri, a 65‑year‑old beginner surfer who overcame nerve damage, ocean fears, and a lifetime away from the waves to become the self‑proclaimed “Queen of the Microwaves.” In this episode, she shares how she slowly retrained her body and mind to handle the ocean, found healing and joy in tiny waves, and built a surf life—and quiver—with her husband Don. It’s a story about patience, resilience, and discovering passion at any age.

Riding Giants is why I surf

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/08

Before I ever paddled for a wave, I fell in love with surfing on my couch in North London—thanks to Riding Giants. This episode is a love letter (with some minor gripes) to Stacy Peralta’s iconic 2004 documentary about big wave surfing. We revisit the legends it profiles, the history it glosses over, and why it changed my life.

Hydrofoiling...is it even surfing?

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/07

There was a guy at my local break recently zooming around on what I can only describe as "not a surfboard, doesn't belong here". That encounter led me down a little rabbit hole: what even is hydrofoiling? And how did it become the next big thing in water sports? In this episode, we look at the evolution of foiling — from early boat experiments to modern efoils — and how it intersects (or doesn’t) with surfing. Spoiler: I have opinions.

Soul arch, and can you be a soul surfer with a mortgage?

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/06

This week’s word is soul arch—a chest-thrusting flex you rarely see in the wild anymore. But since it's too short for a full episode, we’re throwing in soul surfing for free. We dive into the philosophy, the contradictions, and the counterculture. No, this episode is not about Soul Surfer the movie. You're welcome.

Hey Zuz, I am confused: Was it a surf scam?

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/04

In today’s listener story, a beginner surfer swaps boards with a friend, gets into a minor collision, offers to pay for the dings… and is left wondering if she got scammed, shamed, or just seriously unlucky. We talk about board swaps, etiquette, damage drama, and how one weird surf interaction can make you want to quit entirely. (Spoiler: you shouldn’t.)

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/10/03

"Surf with intention." What a hoity-toity thing to say. But maybe there's something to it. Because if you're like me—a greedy, impatient surfer with zero identifiable purpose in the lineup—this might be your sign to think twice before paddling out. Not to become some perfectly planned surf guru, just… to stop surfing like, well, shit. In this episode, we reflect on what it means to be an intentional surfer, share our conversation with surfluencer Tiffany Barwick (@midlifesurfista), and run through a

We talk about the recent East Coast chaos, collapsing homes on the Outer Banks, and SoCal’s own hurricane-fueled swell rescue tally.

Surf insurance, anyone? Cause this episode is dinged.

2025/10/01

What do a rogue shortboarder, some rusty rebar, a clumsy friend, and a sister-in-law have in common? They’ve all left dings on my surfboards—and not one of them came with an insurance payout. So today, we’re asking the question: why the hell isn’t surf insurance a thing? In this episode, we dig into the unspoken etiquette around paying for repairs. From the Reddit poll that no one believed, to the three camps of surfers when it comes to blame, payment, and karma—we’re breaking down the (unofficial)

In this episode of The Wipeout Weekly, we’re diving headfirst (not recommeneded) into one of surfing’s most underrated skills: the art of the wipeout.

Oh, the shame. This one’s for every surfer who’s come out of the water with a big fat zero on the wave count. One of our readers wrote in: “Hey Zuz, I went out and caught zero waves. Is that… normal?” The short answer? Yes. The long answer? Also yes—but let’s unpack it.

Surfing Malibu: What beginners should know

Malibu isn’t on our list of best beginner surf spots—and for good reason. It’s chaotic, crowded, and famously not beginner-friendly. But it’s also Malibu—home of First Point, longboard heaven, and the birthplace of modern surf culture. In this episode, we break down what it’s really like to surf Malibu: First, Second, and Third Point explaine When to go (and when to avoid it) What to expect in the water (spoiler: a lot of people) Water quality, wardrobe tips, and post-fire updates Is it

The quiet one: Pat Curren

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/09/26

Surfing has never lacked big characters—loud, brash, full of stories. But this week, we talk about someone different: Pat Curren. A big-wave pioneer, big wave gun shaper, and quiet force in the lineup, Curren was the definition of strong and silent. From flipping beers at Waimea to building surfboards like weapons, Pat didn’t say much—but when he did, it stuck. We talk about his early days in La Jolla, shaping the first true big-wave guns, and how he managed to remain a mystery even while helping

Look away if you want to live: a bit on target fixation

The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast ·

2025/09/24

If you’ve ever been run over, run over someone else, dinged a board, or had yours destroyed in a surf collision—this episode is for you. We’re talking target fixation: that sneaky brain glitch where you stare at the very thing you’re trying to avoid… and then crash right into it. From dropping in on strangers to nose-diving into sandbars, it’s not always your technique—it might just be where you're looking.
