Crest Podcast Ep24 - Pete Jones, Part Two

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/10/08

Last week it was becoming PJ - and now it's about being PJ. Hands up if you remember that surfline! Listen as PJ tells Tom and Rhino how he went about creating his seminal surf report service, about growing the surf shop and brand and about the rest of life's journey to where we are now. This candid discussion includes a haunting account of life-threatening injury, as well as plenty more of Pete's trademark lyrical praise for the sheer joy of surfing as both an action and a way of life. Plus the

Crest Podcast Ep23 - Pete 'PJ' Jones, Part One

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/10/01

Present or nearby for many of the defining moments in international surfing history, Pete ‘PJ’ Jones has first-hand experience of some of the greatest tales our sport can offer. In this first half of his life-story interview, Wales’ trailblazing surfer talks Tom and Rhino through discovering his ‘gift’ and its life-changing impact. From ‘dropping out’ of any career that might get in the way of water time, to winning his European title in 1977 on the day his son James was born, this is all about the

Crest Podcast Ep22 - Eoin McCarthy Deering

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/09/24

Our first Irish guest is as intrepid as they come. Renowned charger Eoin McCarthy Deering tells Tom about his addiction to remote slabs on the west of his beloved Emerald Isle, as well as the wanderlust which has seen him post up in some of the planet's remotest surf spots. Eoin's relationship with GoPro has led to some of the most awe-inspiring surf-travel clips out there. How does he go about organising, and surviving, such adventures? And on top of this, there's also a free Gaelic lesson for

Crest Podcast Ep21 - Chris Nelson & Demi Taylor

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/09/21

International purveyors of the finest surf stoke. After jacking in the day jobs to become nomadic writers, Chris Nelson and Demi Taylor's Footprint Guides to Surfing in Britain and Europe dropped at a time when publishers were eating up anything surf. Building on Demi's experiences from her days in the Roxy PR department, the couple then hit on a winning formula in running the inaugural London Surf Film Festival. In the decade since, Chris and Demi's events experience has seen them also develop the

Crest Podcast Ep20 - Angus Ruddle

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/09/14

Long known as a charger and a legend of Wales' underground surf scenes, Porthcawl's Angus Ruddle is a character whose tales, advice and opinions are the stuff of fable. A consultant vascular surgeon by day (or night!), 'Gus' applies the same personality traits which have taken him to the top of an elite profession to his pursuit of action sports. In the water, he's well known for chasing down mountainous waves - and on land... well, the situation is no different. In fact, if we talk mountains, then

Crest Podcast Ep19 - James Jones

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/09/07

'Logos out, logos in.' Be it advice for the future generations, or incredible tales from the highest levels of contest success (he's beaten Taj Burrow!), James Jones is one of the most important voices in modern Welsh, and indeed British, surfing. Tom and Rhino Thomas get the inside take on what it's been like to grow up with the weight of a nation's expectations on your shoulders, only to live up to the hype and then some - and with a surf-stoked smile throughout.Produced by James Dodd & Tom

Crest Podcast Ep18 - Sindia Sosdian

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/08/31

What makes a world-renowned paleoclimatologist with a powerful forehand gouge leave New Jersey to settle down in... Wales? Apparently our waves aren't too shabby, and our water 'isn't as cold' as NJ in winter. With a work travel itinerary that could just as easily be that of a Search movie, Dr Sosdian has joined Tom and Breige Lawrence to tell tales of voyaging in the name of oceanic research (which often means catching waves!) and of growing up in Jersey. Why did she replace the sandy barrels of

Crest Podcast Ep17 - Sam Bleakley

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/08/24

With Brilliant Corners, Sam's series of travelogues from the world's less visited surf destinations, now available on WSL Studios, this former European champ is well placed to lead a new wave of surf exploration. Listen to him as he tells Tom and Rob about some of the places he's visited, his inspirations, travel companions and philosophies. We also learn a few tricks of the WSL commentary trade from an insider's perspective, and about what exactly is needed to get a PhD in surf travel

Crest Podcast Ep16 - Jocks vs Purists; The Debate...

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/08/17

'Surfing’s not a jock sport, it’s not football or whatever... We’re not f***ing athletes, we’re surfers,' said Joel Tudor to Surf Europe. A contentious issue, which has rumbled since, now it's Crest's turn to tackle the thorny debate about surfing's changing identity. For this debate special, Tom and Rob square off against each other from different sides of the divide - with the help of Logan Nichol, Elliot Dudley and Cornwall's WQS battler, Luke Dillon. Guest hosted, refereed and adjudicated by

Crest Podcast Ep15 - Mark Schofield, Part Two

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/08/10

The halcyon days of a surf industry boom, travel, more health setbacks and an opinionated take on modern surfing - the second half of Schof’s life story sees him tell Tom and Rob some fantastic tales. After founding what is now No Limit Wetsuits, Schof’s manufacturing and branding career went through the roof. Sponsoring Tom Curren and the Welsh Rugby Team preceded a second kidney failure, in response to which a BBC documentary team accompanied him to the Philippines to make a hard-hitting

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/08/03

Quite simply one of our favourite people on earth! A European Champion who's also survived cancer twice and kidney failure twice (as well as getting his golf handicap below 3), Mark Schofield is one of the most enthralling people you could listen to in the English-speaking surf world. Thanks to a carefully constructed, once-off studio in his back garden, Schof has told the incredible ups and downs of his life to Tom and Rob. In part one of this tale, Schof talks of discovering surf stoke, his first

Crest Podcast Ep13 - Mark 'Splinter' Griffiths

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/07/27

Separating myth from man is the key challenge when dealing with a character of this magnitude. Often hailed as the 'best person to go on a trip with ever', as well as being the key protagonist in one of Wales' 'best surf tales ever', Splinter Griffiths wears these tags with humility and humour. The fact his dozens of major titles often take a back seat shows just how widely the skill-set is spread for one of the greatest bodyboarders these isles have produced. In this special interview, Tom and Rob

Crest Podcast Ep12 - Rob Miles

Crest Surfcast ·

2020/07/20

'I would say I am probably your average Welsh surfer... who just pushes his luck,' says Caerphilly's best export. This is an amazing insight into a uniquely gung-ho mindset - which has seen the unassuming Rob Miles take on Teahupoo, among many more of the world's most challenging pits. Expect humility, humour and many more nonchalant comments like, 'That was my, uh, second broken back', as we'll hear him tell Rob and Elliot. For this episode, the Garden Studio bears witness to how an inspirational

2020/07/13

One of the truly giant personalities in Welsh Surfing, Llantwit's Mark Vaughan tells Tom and Rob of a life in surf - which more and more, nowadays, seems to happen in boardies (yes, we do find out why... sort of). This is someone who's been present for, or participating in, many of the biggest moments in the recent surf history of both the British Isles and Europe, and in this frank, open, entertaining and perceptively reflective memoir interview, Vaughanie shares what that ride has been like from

A Welshman... at Nazare? Yes, the world's gnarliest big-wave destination does indeed have a regular from God's Land, and Glyn Ovens now tells Tom and Elliot all about his journey into becoming one of the planet's most daring surfers. How does someone from Tal-y-Bont in Ceredigion end up winning international events in Mullaghmore, charging Mavericks and towing into the Portuguese monster nowadays widely agreed to be the premier proving ground on the world stage? All this, plus his love of waffles

2020/06/29

In this first full-length interview in Crest's Garden Studio, the British Team Manager for 2020 and beyond tells Tom and Rob all about her journey to becoming one of Wales' most formidable competitors - and how she's brought the lessons learned into a coaching career. When and how will the UK produce a surfing Olympian? And what will that mean for the future of a sport which is traditionally counter-culture in its roots?

Who misses surf trips, eh? Not us! (We're trying to believe that, at least.) As promised, with travel still off the agenda for a while, our collection of terrible tales kicks off with a prolonged look at the joys, the hardships and the challenges of travel to Indonesia. With Tom and Rob joined by double European Longboard Champion Elliot Dudley, the team also reviews and rates the surf trip nightmares offered up by our previous guests - setting up an overnight leader board for the Crest Surf Trip

Top UK Shaper Luke Young walks Tom and Rob through the individual stages of designing, shaping, spraying and glassing - with a level of detail you won't hear often. Besides discussing materials, rail shapes and the ongoing debate about the use of machines, Luke also shares his experiences building boards for big-wave riders to use at Mullaghmore, as well as his time learning from Hawaiian legend Pat Rawson. From the sublime, to the ridiculous, we're also told how exactly Luke ended up furnishing

From a stint travelling and training with the Quiksilver youth team to appearing on BBC3's Don't Tell the Bride, Harry Cromwell is one of Wales' most loved characters and fiercest competitors. The Pembrokeshire ripper and national legend regales Tom and Rob with an amazing life story. Expect all of the above, as well as the joy of travelling with a family of six, terrifying tales of deep-sea fishing and several new surf trip nightmares.Produced by James Dodd & Tom AndersonArtwork by GS Design
