Enjoy Part One of Two with Dan Mann.

This weeks intro Will dives into new board discoveries having ridden the FireWire revo max (a high performance mid by Daniel Thompson) and how much he was frothing on its performance, glide and wave catching ability. We then get onto what we actually get to surf worldwide , that most of us surf around the waist to head high range with low to medium power & shape and that's why the fishes, mids, logs and hybrids will only keep on growing - they make it soooo much more fun! Convo leads on to how difficult it is to make “tangible” gains in surfing because , when you don't have video footage, how can you know you're improving? You have to go somewhere else mentally to keep track. Liam then shares recent surf insights and how much he's learned to “look where you wanna go” rather than down at your feet and how much of an impact it's had. Will shares stories about recent sessions and how positive an impact the quality of his diet seemed to have on his recovery when compared with recent trips. In mind body stoke, we talk about meditation and dark chocolate - the effects both have had on performance, mood and sleep quality. Stay stoked guys!
“We could never pay back Kelly Slater for what he did for Channel Islands. That's the truth of it. What does he want? The whole company?” As you'll remember in SITDX, Britt Merrick spoke to the fracture left by Kelly's departure from CI – something that registered, at least to him, as something of a betrayal, and perhaps one he felt more acutely than his father ever did. Kelly, when given the space to explain himself, offered a different version of events. He'd spoken to Al, there was a blessing, and, by his account, even affection on the way out, and an “I love you” to seal it. Britt claims it wasn't Kelly leaving that broke his heart, that part he understood, but rather the Firewire business approach, the offshore model, and the way it has diminished domestic board building, eroding the respect that once sat alongside it. Britt, in his typical calm and considered tone that softens the edges of everything he says, phones in from Torquay to join Dooma and Dane at the desk. They move through Medina ordering CIs, his rivalry with DH, his belief that Ethan Ewing is the best surfer in the world, first memories of Dane, and, of course, the question of the age: whether or not Kelly knew. Enjoy the episode.

Bim : on a enfin reçu Michel Bourez. Michel, c'est une carrière plutôt solide : représentant tricolore incontournable sur le World Tour pendant 12 années, le Tahitien a vécu des périodes phares de l'histoire du surf, et les transitions entre elles : la disparition brutale d'Andy Irons, ou le départ en retraite de la génération Fanning, Taj, Hobgoods & Co. La fin de l'ASP et la création de la WSL. Il a aussi vécu l'arrivée de Medina ou John John, de Nike dans le surf, des épreuves en piscine à vagues… et de la discipline aux JO. Rien que ça. Mais avant tout ça, il y a eu les débuts à Tahiti, la détection, les premiers voyages, la France, le team Quiksilver et un problème de planches qui cassaient trop souvent au bottom. Puis une accélération de la carrière, Firewire, la qualification, l'arrivée dans le team Nike, poursuivie un peu plus tard chez Hurley. Trois victoires sur le Tour. Des moments de gloire et de grosses frayeurs à Hawaii. Des heures passées dans le tube à Teahupoo. Et puis des hauts, des bas, comme tout le monde. Et vous savez quoi : Michel revient sur chacun de ces sujets, et bien d'autres, avec une pêche et une sincérité qui ont fait de l'enregistrement un moment très cool. Bref, un épisode solide. Enjoy. Merci pour le moment et l'inspiration Michel
In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, the team digs into a large-scale remote recording with Robert Marshall, capturing a full orchestra and 100-plus voice choir performing Handel's Messiah inside a church. Robert breaks down his microphone choices, including Neumann KM184s, Austrian Audio CC8s, Schoeps mains, and why ORTF still delivers a convincing stereo image in complex acoustic spaces. We also talk about spot mic placement for piano and soloists, blending ambience naturally without artificial reverb, and the realities of recording live with zero second chances. The conversation drifts into mobile recording rigs, spinning-disk backups, FireWire laptops, remote recording trucks, and the kind of gear paranoia that only comes from doing this work solo for decades. It's a proper deep dive into classical capture, stereo technique, redundancy, and why "old-school" workflows still hold up in 2026.

This weeks intro, we talk about how surfing is so different to other sports in that , as, you're normally still a participant as you watch footage (and therefore have so much more empathy knowing how hard that is!!). We then go onto talk about how challenging we both find surfing (and therefore how incredibly rewarding it can be!). Will then talks about a surf he couldn't get a wave or even stand up at times but that he was able to use it as fuel to get extra motivated for his next session and make amends. Liam is loving his FireWire mashup and is enjoying using it in every session - with the aim of seeing what he can do to progress his technique knowing the board will respond more and more reliably the more he rides it (rather than constantly changing up the quiver). In mind body stoke, Will talks about his pre surf trip worries regarding his knee and whether he'll be able to make the most of tenerife. Liam shares wisdom about staying in the moment in life and in surfing - how that one main hack will create more progression in our lives than anything else. Stay stoked! Will & Liam

Whether you're riding a Firewire, Channel Islands, or some hipster fish you found on Craigslist, this episode dives into what actually helps you surf better not just look cool on the beach.If you've ever felt stuck, plateaued, or wondered why your board doesn't feel right, this is your surf reset moment.
This weeks intro, Will talks about breaking his surf record for the last 12 months (almost 200 sessions) and how much better he's recovering from surf / gym / life at the moment due to lots of habits but a new one being ; CREATINE! Liam then shares his personal experience with the supplement and the chat on Creatine recovery continues including dosage / timings and everything else in between. We then go onto discuss recent surfs and how the boards we've ridden have affected them. Liam has been on his FireWire mashup which has really taken his cutbacks to a new level and with Will he talks about trying to dial in the right board for the right occasion and how tough a balance that can be. Stay stoked guys! Will & Liam
The Threadripper leads the conversation this week, with it's impressive Linux performance and many, many cores and PCIe lanes.
