Crest Surfcast ·

2021/11/29

To finish our 2021 Season, here's the second instalment of The Gill's life story. What was it like to discover some of Northern Europe's most iconic spots? What about the process of sharing those finds? Tom and Rob hear all about these moments, as well as tales from Ireland and Wales - not to mention a life-changing trip to Mauritius and of course his long-standing personal friendship with none other than Da Cat, Miki Dora. And would a season finale be complete without a final surf travel nightmare

Crest Podcast Ep43 - Paul Gill, Part One

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/11/15

The greatest tales, from the greatest of legends - put simply, this is why Crest in Partnership with Elusive was started. Season Two culminates here with one of the all-time storytellers of Welsh, and indeed global, surf folklore. Paul Gill (a.k.a. The Gill) here talks to Tom and Rob for the first of a two-part life story. From a childhood in the stands at Anfield, to some of the best Mundaka ever seen, via a torrent of typically torrid toilet tales along the way - this is a not-to-be-missed

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/11/01

During the recent Blue Earth Summit, one of the UK's most iconic surf figures joined Rob and Rhino to discuss the importance of this key moment in the history of the surf industry. Now working for Patagonia, multiple British champ, seasoned traveller and big-wave legend Gabe Davies, is well placed to reflect on the nature of surf culture, and the ways it can and should change to confront modern ecological challenges. Of course, no chat with Gabe would be complete without also probing him for some of

Crest Podcast Ep41 - The Grumpy Surfer & Pagans...

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/10/18

We've been huge fans of Adz Lison's The Grumpy Surfer Podcast since it's debut moment, so we simply had to do a crossover episode with him. And why not make it a triple? Also joining us, therefore, for this special, are the 'Pagans', Pat Langdon-Dark, Callum Thomas and Logan Nicol. In this three-way edition, Tom, Rhino and our TGSP/Pagans counterparts embark on a review of the 2021 international pro surfing season, followed by a pertinent discussion about what an up-and-coming surfer from the

Crest Podcast Ep40 - Buzzy Kerbox

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/10/04

The tale of how towing-in was developed is one of the most crucial turning points in surfing's journey as an 'extreme sport'. A million miles from what most of us do, day-in-day-out, what sort of mindset does decide to be part of such incredible leaps into the unknown? For the milestone that is our 40th episode, Tom and Rhino chat with none other than Buzzy Kerbox - a key member of the crew who first discovered how the unridden realm could be accessed and then charged. Here, Buzzy tells us how he,

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/09/20

One of the landmark interviews the team have done to date sees its concluding part here, with Greg delivering more of his masterclass on what he thinks makes good surfing. Stand by for Vaughanie to challenge him on some of these points, before fond reminiscence from Greg about being among the first travellers to surf Cloudbreak as non-Tavarua residents, and getting ridiculously tubed at the world-famous reef pass. More fond tales of dream sessions on UK shores follow - before some banter as Tom and

Crest Podcast Ep37 - Greg Owen, Part One

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/09/05

The one the people wanted! If you've ever had anything to do with Greg, you'll know what to expect here. One of these shores' finest ever surfers is also one of our most colossal characters. Of course it was only a matter of time before we hit Greg up for his life story, and as with some of our other legends, it's just too much for one episode alone. In this first instalment, Tom is joined by Mark Vaughan and the pair walk Greg through his early years, from being paid to 'go down the hyrdro-slide at

Hours after the Olympic surfing finals, and a day before his internet-busting chat with Kelly Slater, WCT legend Brad Gerlach joined Tom and Rhino for this amazing discussion - now available to Crest listeners as an unscheduled Summer bonus episode. One of the best voices in all of surfing, Brad here tells us about the game-changing moments he has witnessed in decades of being on or around the World Tour, about his new Waveki Programme (www.waveki.com) as well as passing his judgments on the

Surfing is in the Olympics, and it's starting this week! Our extra-special guest to celebrate this historic moment in surf is Llewellyn Whittaker, whose full-circle journey from Mossel Bay, South Africa has taken in time living in Durban, Newquay and South Wales along the way.

Crest Podcast Ep34 - The Hon David TC Davies MP

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/07/05

Perhaps there isn’t a job you’d imagine as being further from beach culture than member of parliament? Nevertheless, South Wales has for several decades had a surfing MP! So how does David TC Davies balance the most pinstripe job there is with sandy toes? And does it influence his views on the stuff that matters? With politics geek Producer Dodd (a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist, apparently!) joining Tom as co-host, we talk the ocean and lifestyle, before debating a few key policies from a surfer’s

2021/06/21

Linda’s spectacular life story picks up with some insight into her uncanny ability to foster winning mindsets not just for herself but for a generation of younger surfers too. We hear little-known facts about Huw ‘Herbi’ John’s two side careers as both movie star and kneeboarder, as well as poignant memories about some of the colossal characters Linda was privileged to befriend from within the European surfing scene. Oh, yes, and… WARNING: The surf travel nightmare told to Tom and Rhino to conclude

In this first part of her amazing life story, we hear Linda’s thoughts on the ISA Worlds across the decades, as well as the origins and foundation tale of the Welsh Surfing Federation - an organisation Linda has spent four decades in service to.

Crest Podcast Ep31 - ISA World Games Special

2021/05/24

It's potentially one of the most important events in surfing history to date. The 2021 ISA World Games takes place in El Salvador from the 29th May, deciding the final five men's and seven women's spots in the inaugural Olympic surfing tournaments in Japan this summer. Especially exciting for Welsh surfing is that Manorbier's own Harry Cromwell has won through to the El Salvador event, after a heroic display in Thurso last month. Listen to Hazza's thoughts ahead of this amazing trip, as he appears

Crest Podcast Ep29 - Al Mennie

Crest Surfcast ·

2021/04/26

If there's a challenge for our times then surely it was Al Mennie's mind-boggling 'Swim through Darkness' across the 2020-21 winter. One hundred kilometres, at night, in or around the impact zone. We can try to imagine the pain, the fear, the dedication and the cold. For Al, this was a nightly reality, allowing him to express what so many of us were feeling as one of the most challenging winters of our age set in. This feat sits as merely the most recent in a career of extreme ocean-going activity

2021/04/12

Who could forget that little nugget last season when Rhino told us Tom Curren had written a song about him? Well, the central part of that incredible story belonged to former Welsh Seniors Champ Jem Evans, who would go on to host Curren at his Bourdaines home for three consecutive summers. What were the circumstances that led to a Gower and Porthcawl ripper suddenly sharing his every surf with one of the world's most famous surfers? And what is it like to spend so much time in the company of

2021/03/29

Has any single person made a bigger difference for British board sports than Olympic snowboard medallist Jenny Jones? Arguably, her contribution to slopestyle's debut at the Sochi 2014 games was one of the most significant catalysts in spreading the popularity of surfing's mind-boggling sister discipline. As our beloved sport approaches its own date with Olympic destiny later this summer, what can our riders expect, and what of the jocks v purists dilemma? As an absolute ripper on the water too, and

2021/03/15

We all gazed longingly at the images shared by 'Photo Boss Bali' last year, but what are the actual stories behind them? What was it like to shoot Kelly Slater at Padang-Padang, to stare at empty Sumatran perfection as the rest of the travellers went home? Originally from Pembrokeshire, the tale of how Luke Cromwell came to be a resident of the world's most surf-rich nation is one of adventure, ambition, luck, dreaming - and of course hardship. For the debut to Season 2, Luke tells Tom and Rob about
