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.

Eddie Donnellan is a surfer, father, and the founder of the MeWater Foundation, which celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year. Calling in from his home near Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Eddie shares how skating a curb growing up with a stranger led to a single 15-minute conversation that changed the trajectory of his life and led him to a lifelong connection with surfing and the ocean. Eddie reflects on his own upbringing, his mother's resilience as an immigrant and educator, and how those lessons shaped his work in children's mental health and his passion for creating opportunities for underserved youth. He explains how MeWater uses surfing and time in nature as a conduit for healing, confidence, and community, and why sharing a child's very first wave can be the most powerful moment of all. The conversation touches on the challenges and triumphs of running a nonprofit, partnerships with brands like YETI and Patagonia, and why integrity matters when it comes to working with supporters. Eddie also shares what's next for MeWater, from college scholarships to taking kids on tropical trips that expand their world, as well as personal reflections on fatherhood, setting boundaries, and the lessons he's learned from the kids who inspire him.

Former CT icon Jeremy Flores, 2025 World runner up Griffin Colapinto, and 2025 Rookie of the Year Marco Mignot join The Lineup with Dave Prodan from France for a special episode presented by Quiksilver. The crew dives into the rebirth of the Quiksilver Festival, where “no rules is the rule,” blending surfing's legends and current stars with music, parties, and the Hossegor community. They trade stories on the good vibes, the local fans, and what it means to bring an iconic event back to life. Marco reflects on silencing the doubters during his breakout rookie season, Griffin breaks down the evolution of his barrel and rail game, and Jeremy shares how he went from Reunion Island to carrying the weight of being called “the next Kelly Slater.” From off-season goals and surf progression, the camaraderie and the rivalries, this episode captures the spirit of Quik Fest and the stoke of three surfers at very different but equally defining moments in their careers.

Send us a textDylan Wiemers, Club Director at the QC Tennis Club, brings a unique perspective to the local sports scene. Growing up in Coal Valley and training at the very facility he now manages, his journey from competitive college player to club director reflects the deep community bonds formed through sports in the Quad Cities.The 50-year legacy of the QC Tennis Club has entered an exciting new chapter with the rise of pickleball. When the club converted three tennis courts into nine indoor pickleball courts in 2021, they witnessed what Wiemers calls "a game changer for the community." This strategic pivot helped introduce a whole new demographic to racquet sports while maintaining their tennis traditions. The club continues evolving with recent additions including outdoor tennis courts and three new grass courts, positioning it as a premier regional facility.Now the QC Tennis Club prepares to host the Professional Pickleball Association Challenger Series tournament August 15-17, 2023. This event uniquely combines professional competition with opportunities for local players across skill levels (from 3.0 beginners to 5.5+ pros) to participate, creating what Wiemers describes as a valuable development opportunity to "learn how to play against people that they don't play against on a daily basis." The tournament exemplifies how the Quad Cities leverages its sporting infrastructure to build community connections and attract visitors.Beyond racquet sports, Wiemers highlights the region's comprehensive sports offerings, from exceptional golf courses to professional baseball and hockey teams. Combined with unique local dining experiences like Whitey's, Hungry Hobo, and Happy Joe's, these attractions make the Quad Cities a distinctive destination. As Wiemers aptly summarizes the destination as "QC, that's where community is built" – through these shared sporting experiences and local treasures.Join us for the PPA Challenger Series this August and experience firsthand how the Quad Cities continues building community through sports.

The constant whirlwind of surf comp coverage on the show is joined this month by talk of some incredible new additions to the women's surf film canon, as well as even more change within the WSL, including the surprise resignation of Jessi Miley-Dyer.While covering the most recent events, including Stab High Japan, the Challenger Series kick-off at Newcastle, Margaret River and the Cut and the return of a standard CT to Trestles, we take a look at Bettylou Sakura Johnson's strong resurgence and question whether or not the WSL should leave decisions like running the women at The Box in the hands of the surfers or take charge of the call themselves.Go DeeperBuy Tickets: Maya and the Wave PremieresWatch: Wilson's Home, Milk & HoneyDonate: Willow Hardy's surgeryChapters00:00 - Intro08:43 - Seas the Day11:28 - Fresh Films28:42 - Surf Opinion33:56 - Erin Brooks' Surfer Mag Cover38:04 - WSL Changes51:00 - Stab High Japan58:49 - Challenger Series Kick-Off1:07:34 - Margaret River CT1:23:45 - Trestles CTInfoMusic: Dry Grass, courtesy of Body TypeContact: info@womensurf.netInstagram: @the.double.upWeb: https://www.womensurf.net

Tatiana Weston-Webb returns to The Lineup to unpack her journey around the world and celebrate her latest film with the late, great Greg Browning. Recorded in New Jersey fresh off a Mentawais boat trip, Tati reflects on stepping away from full-time competition after two Olympic cycles and rediscovering her love of surfing away from the pressure of the jersey. She speaks candidly about her mindset on and off tour, knowing she is a World Title contender at her best, and the surreal joy of scoring perfect Kandui with her husband. She is later joined by producers Scott Smith and John De Temple to celebrate the premiere of their deeply personal and visually stunning new film with the indelible Greg Browning–A Marble in the Jar. The crew dive into the genesis of the film—a project that began with Greg's vision and passion. With a treasure trove of footage spanning years, the team recounts the wild, creative ride of making the movie, from smashing jars of marbles in Scott's backyard to experimenting with four different intros, all in pursuit of honoring Greg's dream. They reflect on the unguarded, fearless spirit that defined both Greg and Tatiana, and how the bond they shared helped shape the emotional core of the project. As Scott poignantly shares, “Greg knew his time was short, but he was 100% behind it all—he went full director mode.” From Instagram fan questions to lightning-round favorites, Tati closes with a powerful reminder to “focus on the small wins throughout the day–aka–a marble in the jar.” We love you Greg!

Dave is joined once again by part-time co-host and WSL commentator Mitch Salazar to break down all the drama, triumph, and heartbreak from Stop No. 7 of the 2025 Championship Tour—the Western Australia Margaret River Pro. With Jordy Smith and Gabriela Bryan each securing their second wins of the season, both now sit atop the rankings and inch closer to their first World Titles. Dave and Mitch go deep on the event's biggest winners and most surprising losers—from Lakey Peterson's clutch performance to save her season, to the top 5 men faltering at a crucial stretch of the calendar, to a sobering mid-season cut for Channel Islands' stacked roster. The duo also takes stock of the updated Vissla CT Shaper Rankings, highlighting which board builders are leading the charge and which brands are left regrouping post-Margarets. They answer burning fan questions (Is power surfing the key to a world title?) and give updates on the wildly competitive Lineup Fantasy League. Follow Mitch here.

O que acontece quando uma cidade entende a amplitude social e econômica do esporte e o coloca como uma de suas prioridades na sua estratégia de investimentos? Se alguém ainda tem dúvidas de que o caminho para o desenvolvimento, a dignidade e a saúde (física e financeira) da população passam por esse aspecto, deveria dar uma olhadinha no que vem acontecendo com Saquarema na última década.A cidade é a única no mundo que sedia eventos das três divisões do circuito mundial de surf, com Qualifying Series, Championship Tour da WSL e Challenger Series acontecendo em abril, junho e outubro, respectivamente. Saquarema desembolsa um investimento aproximado de R$ 1o milhões para as três etapas, segundo o Secretário de Esporte, Lazer e Turismo, Rafael Badá, que conversou com Carol Bridi e Rapha Tognini neste episódio do Surf de Mesa, o último da série especial gravada durante o REMA Saquarema Surf Festival 2025.Dá o play aqui e depois vai importunar os gestores que estão no comando pra mostrar como é legal o que o esporte e a cultura podem fazer por uma cidade. Para cobrar de quem você elegeu, manda essa ideia acompanhada de um #ficaadica.

Brazil had 5 of the top 6 surfers on the men's Challenger Series this year and 6 in the top 10. As a result, they'll have 11 surfers on the CT in 2025, which is nearly one-third of the tour. However, Brazilians often fall off the CT only to requalify again the next year, reducing the amount of would-be rookies joining the tour. Why is this, and what does it mean for surfing? Following Saquarema, Stace G and Mikey C break down all things CS with the help of Jake Paterson and Matt Myers.

Dryrobe ambassador and the first female German surfer to ever qualify for the Olympics Camilla Kemp join us on the podcast. Calling in prior to the start of the EDP Ericeira Pro Presented By Estrella Galicia, Camilla talks to us about her competitive mindset for the year, confessing that while initially her goal was to compete in the Challenger Series in 2024, she opted not to do all the events this year in order to focus on preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics in Teahupo'o, understanding how it important it was to her country and her team. She talks about the incredible support she has received from the German Federation, the team she and Tim Elter had around them, and the preparation they had to take in order to be ready to surf a wave like Teahupo'o. She talks about being a Dryrobe ambassador, and their dedication to telling her story through their film together, CAMILLA. She discusses her upbringing, having been born and raised in Portugal to Dutch and German parents, and the struggle of finding her identity.
