Podcasts about big waves

Unser heutiger Gast war schon einmal bei uns, in Folge 163. Damals haben wir über ein Leben gesprochen, das sich an einer sehr klaren Frage orientiert: „To live a life worthy of the respect and the love of my children and my wife.“ Er lebt seit über 20 Jahren in Kapstadt, ist Big-Wave-Surfer, Imker, Permakulturist und Vater von fünf Kindern, Zwillinge und Drillinge, geboren innerhalb von 13 Monaten. Unternehmerisch gehört er zu denjenigen, die Remote Work nicht diskutiert, sondern gebaut haben, bereits Anfang der 2000er mit einer der ersten vollständig remote arbeitenden Digitalagenturen für Kunden in Deutschland und der Schweiz. Heute führt er dieses Denken konsequent weiter. Mit The Factory hat er ein Produktionshaus aufgebaut, das sich auf die skalierte Ausproduktion digitaler Werbemittel spezialisiert hat, über 100.000 Assets pro Jahr für mehr als 100 Premium-Brands im DACH-Raum. Sein Fokus liegt darauf, Marketing-Teams ihre Zeit zurückzugeben, durch klar strukturierte Prozesse, eigene Software und eine radikale Effizienz in der Umsetzung. Sein Garnatieversprechen ist dabei so einfach wie selbstbewusst: Unhappy? You don't pay. Parallel dazu verfolgt er weiterhin seine zweite große Mission: Mit DADicated hat er eine Plattform geschaffen, die Väter stärkt und die Rolle von Vätern neu denkt – mit der Überzeugung, dass starke Familien die Grundlage für eine bessere Gesellschaft sind. Seit 9 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 550 Episoden mit mehr als 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Was verstehen Unternehmen bis heute nicht an Remote Work, obwohl es seit Jahren möglich ist? Wo genau verlieren Marketing-Teams heute am meisten Zeit und warum ist es so oft die Produktion von Werbemitteln? Und wie balanciert man ein Leben zwischen fünf Kindern, Big Waves und einem Business, das auf maximale Skalierung ausgelegt ist? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work, heute mit Philipp Hartmann. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

 In this episode, Jason Wescott (WPP Media & Chair of IAB Europe's Retail & Commerce Media Committee), Mazen Mroueh (Publicis Media), and Christian Raveaux (REWE Group) explore why non-endemic brands are becoming the next big opportunity in Retail Media. They discuss what is driving growing advertiser interest beyond traditional CPG and endemic categories, whether retailers are ready to support more complex partnerships, and how shopper intent data can help brands that do not sell directly on the shelf achieve meaningful outcomes. The conversation also tackles common misconceptions about Retail Media, how to balance endemic and non-endemic demand, and why protecting the shopper experience remains critical. 

The moments that can change your life usually arrive with a racing heart and a loud inner voice that says, “What if I mess this up?”I want to show you a different way to meet that moment, using a 5-pillar high performance psychology framework inspired by big wave surfer Matt Bromley, a “storm rider” who repeatedly performs in conditions where one mistake can cost everything.We break down what consistently strong performers do before the pressure hits: prepare the core skill and the small subskills until they're automatic, then simulate the real challenge so the environment stops feeling threatening. We also get practical about stress and anxiety. If you can't regulate your physiology, your performance mindset won't stick, which is why we talk breathwork, visualization, and stress conditioning tools that help keep your brain online when your body wants to panic.Next we cover “mapping the terrain,” the underrated performance advantage of removing surprises by walking the stage, checking the mic, studying conditions, and doing your research. Finally, we get to the master switch that changes everything: shifting from a threat response to a challenge response. You'll hear the kind of self-talk Matt uses to flip fear into focus and purpose, plus a clear recap you can apply before your next presentation, meeting, interview, or competition.If this helps you, subscribe, share it with someone who's facing a high-stakes moment, and leave a review so more people can learn to lean into the challenge.Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

In this powerful episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we sit down with one of the most fearless and respected figures in modern surfing: big wave legend and multiple world champion Justine Dupont. Known for her groundbreaking performances in some of the heaviest conditions on Earth, Justine has redefined what is possible in big wave surfing, pushing beyond limits that once seemed unreachable. From the towering, unpredictable swells of Nazaré to other extreme big wave locations around the world, Justine Dupont has built her legacy on courage, discipline, and an extraordinary connection with the ocean. In this exclusive interview, she shares what it truly takes to ride mountains of water, from the physical preparation to the mental strength required to face fear at its highest level. We dive deep into her journey, from her early days discovering surfing in France to becoming one of the most dominant athletes in big wave riding. Justine explains how she trained herself to handle high-risk environments, how she reads the ocean, and how she makes split-second decisions when everything is on the line. Her mindset is a masterclass in focus, resilience, and trust, both in herself and in the ocean. This episode also explores the evolution of women's big wave surfing and the role Justine has played in pushing the sport forward. She has not only broken barriers but also reshaped expectations, inspiring a new generation of surfers to dream bigger and go further. Her presence in the lineup has helped elevate the visibility and respect of women in extreme surfing conditions. We also talk about the importance of teamwork in big wave surfing. Behind every successful ride is a highly coordinated team effort, from jet ski drivers to safety spotters. Justine explains how preparation, communication, and trust are essential elements when dealing with waves that can be life-threatening. She gives insight into safety strategies, wipeouts, and the reality of what happens when things don't go as planned. Beyond performance, this conversation touches on something deeper, the emotional and spiritual connection with the ocean. For Justine Dupont, surfing is not just about riding waves; it's about understanding nature, respecting its power, and finding balance within it. Her story is not only inspiring for surfers but for anyone seeking to push their own limits and grow through challenge. Whether you are passionate about big wave surfing, fascinated by extreme sports, or looking for real stories of courage and determination, this episode delivers a rare and authentic perspective from one of the best in the world.

In this powerful new episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we welcome French big wave surfer and true waterman Clément Roseyro, a rising force in the world of extreme surfing. Known for his fearless approach and deep connection with the ocean, Clément has carved his path among the elite surfers who chase the biggest and most dangerous waves on the planet. From the coastline of France to the massive swells of Nazaré, Portugal, Clément's journey is one of passion, discipline, and relentless pursuit of progression. In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to be a modern big wave surfer — beyond the Instagram highlights and viral wipeouts. Clément shares his experiences facing some of the heaviest waves in the world, including the raw power of Nazaré, a place that has redefined what is possible in surfing. He opens up about the mental preparation required to paddle into mountains of water, the importance of trust in your team, and the role of breathwork, training, and ocean knowledge in survival. We also explore his identity as a waterman, a term that goes far beyond surfing. For Clément, it's about respect for nature, versatility in the ocean, and a lifelong commitment to understanding the sea in all its forms. Whether it's big wave surfing, paddling, or simply observing the ocean, his approach is rooted in humility and awareness. This conversation also touches on the evolution of big wave surfing, safety advancements, and how a new generation of surfers is pushing the limits further than ever before. Clément offers insights into what separates those who succeed in these extreme conditions from those who don't and why mindset is everything when the stakes are at their highest. If you're passionate about surfing, ocean adventure, or simply inspired by stories of people who dedicate their lives to mastering their craft, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Mark opens up about the realities of big wave surfing—the preparation, the fear, and the mental focus required when the stakes are high. He also shares stories about learning from the North Shore's heavy-hitting generation and how those influences helped shape his approach not only to surfing, but to life in the water.

Send us Fan MailA snowboarding contest that runs like a surf heat shouldn't work this well, but the Gerry Lopez Big Wave Challenge at Mt Bachelor has become a Bend, Oregon staple for a reason. The stoke is real, the course is custom every year, and the whole thing feels more like a skatepark jam than a rulebook competition. When you add Hawaiian food, reggae on the deck, and a lift line full of groms, pros, and proud “kooks,” you start to understand why people plan their season around it. We talk with key organizers Jason and Mo Baldessari, plus Ryan Buccola and Anne DosPassos, about how the event gets built, why volunteering is the secret sauce, and how Bend's outdoor culture makes this community fundraiser possible. You'll hear how an unlikely connection through Active Skin Repair started a friendship between Jason and Gerry, and how Big Wave becomes a doorway into friendships, local commitment, and a broader “give back” mindset. We also get into what's new, including a groms division and an adaptive snowboarding category, along with the surf-style jam format that keeps the day fun and fast. On the back end, we're joined by snowboarding veterans Curtis Ciszek and Austin Smith to honor Pat Malendoski, one of the most influential terrain builders in the sport. Pat isn't just known for perfect halfpipes, but for a creative eye that turns snow into something closer to art, and the Big Wave Challenge now raises funds to support him and other beneficiaries. If you care about snowboarding culture, Mt Bachelor, Bend events, or how a community rally turns into real impact, this conversation hits home. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves snowboarding, and leave a review so more people can find the story.The Circling Podcast is proud to be in partnership with Bend Magazine.

There are moments in surfing that redefine a career. And then there are moments that redefine what is possible. Michaela Fregonese has just claimed Ride of the Year and Biggest Wave at the SURFER Big Wave Challenge Awards, a monumental achievement that places her among the elite of big wave surfing worldwide. Two of the most prestigious honors in the sport. One surfer. One fearless commitment. In this powerful new episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we sit down with Michaela to unpack what it truly took to earn this title. Because awards are the surface of the story. Beneath them lies years of preparation, wipeouts, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of heavier conditions. As an Italo-Brazilian athlete, Michaela carries a rare blend of passion and precision. Brazil fuels her fire. Italy anchors her mindset. Together, they shape a competitor who remains composed when the ocean transforms into moving mountains. We talk about the wave itself, the size, the speed, the commitment. What does it feel like to paddle into a wall of water that most people would not even consider? What happens internally in the final seconds before takeoff? In big wave surfing, there is no room for doubt. There is only training, instinct, and trust. Winning Ride of the Year is about execution. Winning Biggest Wave is about courage. Winning both is about mastery. This episode dives deep into her preparation routines, breath work, physical conditioning, and the psychology required to operate in extreme environments. Michaela shares the unseen side of big wave surfing, the teamwork behind jet skis, the safety protocols, the mental recalibration after heavy wipeouts. Because glory in the ocean is built on structure and respect. We also speak about what this recognition means for women in big wave surfing. The ceiling continues to rise. The waves do not discriminate. Performance speaks. And Michaela's performance spoke loudly enough to echo through the global surf community. For the Temple of Surf audience, this is more than a celebration episode. It is a study in resilience. It is a reminder that fear can be transformed into focus. That preparation turns chaos into opportunity. That when the horizon darkens and the swell stands tall, the difference between watching and committing defines everything. Michaela Fregonese did not just ride a wave. She rode a moment that will stay in surf history.

Send a textJoin host Adam Short as he sits down with Gerry Lopez and Anne DosPassos to tell the origin story of the  Gerry Lopez Big Wave Challenge and how Aloha isn't just something you say; it's something you practice.  From naming wind lips after beloved breaks to shaping courses that move with rhythm and flow, the tradition holds tight to family, fun, and creativity over results.You'll hear how the event came alive when builders decided to make waves out of snow, transforming a hillside into a frozen lineup where every rider can draw their own line. We honor the influence and contribution to the sport of snowboarding of Pat Malendowski—his eye for terrain, his unassuming style, and the mentorship that helped launch terrain park builder Alex Storjohann into shaping some of the best courses on snow today. And how that passing of the torch didn't just preserve the event; it's allowed it to continue to grow and evolve. Community sits at the center. Entry fees and auctions support environmental groups, non profits and most importantly people. Friends like Pat Malendowski  and Michelle Schnake, longtime pillars of the scene now facing serious health challenges. That's Aloha in practice: celebrating together on the hill, then showing up when it matters most. If you care about snowboard culture, surf-inspired course design, and events that give back, this story will land. Hit play, and make sure to show up at this years Big Wave Challenge at Mt. Bachelor March 26 to 29, 2026 and tell us what Aloha means to you. If the episode moves you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs a little extra stoke today.The Circling Podcast is proud to be in partnership with Bend Magazine.

This week on The Temple of Surf Podcast, we sit down with Jerome Sahyoun, a Moroccan big-wave surfer whose life has been shaped by powerful oceans, remote coastlines, and a deep respect for waves that demand total commitment. Born and raised in Morocco, Jerome Sahyoun represents a generation of surfers who grew up far from the spotlight, but close to serious water. Morocco's long Atlantic coastline, exposed to relentless swells, became his training ground, a place where patience, observation, and humility are essential. In this episode, Jerome shares how surfing in Morocco forged both his skills and his mindset, preparing him for some of the heaviest conditions on the planet. We explore what it truly means to be a big-wave surfer, beyond the images and headlines. Jerome explains the preparation behind charging large, dangerous waves, physical training, breath control, teamwork, and mental discipline. Big-wave surfing is not about recklessness; it is about understanding risk, reading the ocean correctly, and knowing when to commit and when to walk away. The conversation dives into Jerome's experiences traveling in search of powerful surf, including his connection to Morocco, one of the world's most iconic big-wave arenas. He speaks honestly about fear, wipeouts, and survival, and how each experience in heavy water leaves a permanent mark. These moments, he explains, are not about ego or fame, but about confronting limits and learning respect for forces far greater than yourself. A central theme of this episode is discipline and responsibility. Jerome talks about how big-wave surfing forces maturity, how mistakes can have serious consequences, and how trust between surfers, drivers, and safety teams becomes essential. He also reflects on how surfing heavy waves influences daily life, shaping patience, decision-making, and perspective away from the ocean. We also discuss Morocco's growing presence in global surf culture. Jerome offers insight into the country's wave potential, its raw and often uncrowded surf zones, and the importance of local knowledge. He emphasizes protecting the environment and respecting local communities, reminding listeners that surfing is inseparable from the places and people that make it possible. This episode is not only for big-wave enthusiasts. It is for anyone fascinated by human limits, dedication, and the quiet courage required to face fear head-on. Jerome Sahyoun's story is grounded, honest, and free of exaggeration,  a rare look into the reality of a life shaped by powerful waves.

Conner sits down with 2018 World Junior Champion, CT threat, and certified 805 Authentico, Kirra Pinkerton.

She and Conner dive into life on the Championship Tour and the highs and lows of competing at Pipeline. Kirra talks about the self-belief it took to carve her own lane, her drive to keep evolving her surfing, and the influence of legends like Carissa Moore and Lakey Peterson – women she grew up watching and is now battling in heats.

I sat down with Matt Formston and came away both humbled and absolutely wired. Matt’s story is next level... losing most of his sight as a kid, getting shoved into hard places, then using all of that grit to become a world class athlete, speaker, executive and dad. We talk about the ugly bits too... getting lost for a decade, raging at bullies, and learning to stop fighting everyone. There are mad moments, breath holds of nearly six minutes, big wave surfing, and his plan to chase freediving records... but the gold is in the practical stuff: accountability, ruthless time management, making plans from your future self back to today, and the quiet daily work that actually moves the needle. This is raw, useful, and weirdly comforting. If you want a blueprint for owning your life, not waiting for permission, and getting really good at the hard stuff, this convo is for you, kids.

Crypto has spent years obsessing over tokens, airdrops, and speculation. But what about the unsexy businesses actually making money? Arthur Hayes and Adam Schlegel join Laura Shin to talk about Maelstrom's $250M private equity fund targeting crypto's most profitable, yet overlooked, companies, $50M revenue businesses with 50% margins that VCs can't touch and exchanges won't pay cash for. But while everyone frames this as just another fund, Hayes and Schlegel argue it's actually the missing piece in crypto's maturation: a cash buyer for founders who've done their time and want out without four-year earnouts.  Plus: Why Asian crypto companies with monster margins get ignored by Western capital.

Conner Coffin sits down for an episode of Cold Beer Surf Club with Santa Cruz legend, Mavericks pioneer, and all-around surf icon Peter Mel. Recorded just a day after the Big Wave Awards and with Conner's dog Finley curled up on Pete's lap the whole time, Peter reflects on The Eddie, the celebration of big-wave surfing, and the highs and lows that come with chasing the world's heaviest waters. He talks through his 2021 Ride of the Year at Mavericks, a wave 30 years in the making, and how the pure bliss of that moment was followed by days of solitude and introspection. The conversation dives into what it means to truly commit to a life in surf, the peaks and valleys, the recovery, and the discipline it takes to keep catching your best waves at 55. From growing up in Santa Cruz and pioneering Mavericks, to his battles with dark times, addiction, and rediscovering joy through surfing, Pete opens up about resilience, purpose, and gratitude. He also shares stories about the new generation of big-wave chargers, his relationship with Channel Islands Surfboards, Darc Sport Athletics, owning Freeline Surf Shop, and how surfing has evolved from the early Santa Cruz scene to the YouTube era of surf influencers.

Nic von Rupp joins The Lineup with Dave Prodan as he prepares for another Big Wave season, coming off one where he earned the 2025 Best Team Performance Award and added to his growing legend as one of big wave surfing's most complete athletes. Calling in from home after a ten-foot barrel session, Nic reflects on how far his country and his career have come. From an era when it was “unthinkable” to be a professional surfer from Portugal to now representing his nation at The Eddie Aikau Invitational, Nic shares how Nazaré transformed not only global big wave surfing, but the identity of an entire coastline. He dives deep into his path from Nike and Monster-sponsored competitor to free surfer and filmmaker, why he walked away from chasing jerseys, and how the “Von Froth” persona came to life. Nic talks about chasing barrels at Mavericks and Jaws, pioneering sessions with Tom Lowe, and how his background in competition taught him the consistency and discipline to handle big days at home. Together with Dave, Nic discusses the state of the surf industry – from the rise of athlete-driven content to the decline of traditional surf sponsorship – and what he thinks the next generation of pros really needs. He also opens up about his creative process, balancing the froth with perspective, and how staying healthy and curious keeps him charging forward.

Big-wave surfer and Dryrobe® ambassador Laura Crane joins the pod to talk about her rise at Nazaré, the power of resilience, and finding identity through the heaviest water on Earth. Fresh off her second full season in Portugal, Laura reflects on the highs of qualifying for the WSL Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge and the lows of breaking her ankle during one of her sessions. She opens up about the rehab process, slowing down after years of intensity, and what she learned from navigating injury, recovery, and expectation. Laura shares how Nazaré has become her “classroom” over the past three years, training with Tony Laureano, and even stepping up to rescue her hero Maya Gabeira. She looks back on her journey from a 12-year-old national champion from Devon to a sponsored Billabong pro, and how the surf industry's obsession with image left her battling mental health challenges and an eating disorder. Her story is one of rediscovery — trading modeling sets and TV screens for big waves, community, and purpose. Now, through her Crane Surf Co. ocean wellness retreats, Laura helps others harness fear as a tool for growth. She also pays tribute to the women who've inspired her – from Maya Gabeira, Justine Dupont, Michelle des Bouillons to the new generation of chargers redefining what's possible in women's surfing.

One of the heaviest chargers in big wave surfing and dryrobe ambassador, Andrew “Cotty” Cotton, joins us on The Lineup. From his roots in Devon, England, to towing some of the gnarliest waves ever ridden at Nazaré alongside legends like Garrett McNamara, Cotty has survived career-threatening injuries, epic wipeouts, and helped put Portugal's fishing village on the global big-wave map.

He reflects on his journey from plumber to professional big wave surfer, the injuries that tested him both physically and mentally, and the moments that defined his career.

In a special two-parter episode of The Lineup, Dave Prodan sits down with fearless big wave charger and YETI ambassador Tom Lowe for two powerful conversations – one from before his nearly fatal incident in Tahiti in June 2025 and one after. In the first part of the episode, Tom rejoins us from Tahiti, still in recovery, right from the very place where he describes everything went very quickly from a dream to a nightmare. He walks us through the day it happened, at least all the moments he remembers. He recounts the locals' heroics, catching a few mid-sized waves himself, gaining confidence, and feeling ready for a big one. He speaks candidly about the mental toll of this injury versus the physical, and the emotional weight of what he's put his loved ones through. With striking vulnerability, he opens up about the recovery, the guilt, the gratitude, and the commitment to keep moving forward. The second part of the episode was recorded just before Tom's most recent mission to Tahiti, a trip that would culminate in a near-fatal injury at Teahupoʻo. Lowe discusses both the clarity and the nerves he was bringing into the swell, feeling ready to return since his first nearly fatal injury back there in 2023. He discusses life as a dad, the rhythm he's found chasing waves around the world, and the emotional toll of leaving behind his young family to pursue swells as a professional big wave surfer. He reflects on his latest film with YETI, Let Me Live, a raw and beautifully captured portrait of identity, purpose, and a life on the edge, produced by the legendary Keith Malloy and Bimarian Films.
