Podcast appearances and mentions of Margaret River Pro

When the Margaret River Pro kicked off a couple weeks ago a little-known historical note for professional surfing was also taking place; two women were hired to be the main event photographers for the first time ever. While women have been an integral part of the WSL's photography team for a while now, two had never been paired together until Be Ryder and Cait Miers joined forces in Western Australia.In the aftermath of the contest Shan and Rach caught up with the pair to talk about the event, as well as their differing journeys to their current status and the state of affairs for women working in the surf industry.Go DeeperFollow: Cait Miers, Be RyderInfoMusic: Dry Grass, courtesy of Body TypeContact: info@womensurf.netInstagram: @the.double.upWeb: https://www.womensurf.net

The Western Australia Margaret River Pro is always a captivating event, with all kinds of variables thrown at surfers in the wild west, especially now with the dreaded Mid-Season Cut. This year's epic Finals Day almost washed away the many short and strange days that led up to it, with a forecast that provided stunning lay days, but only small pockets of 'contestable' surf. All of that provided our favorite moment of the year so far however, with an incredible maiden CT win for Gabriela Bryan, highlighted by her magical dolphin scene, and we're stoked to have her on the show this episode to talk about it all. We also catch up on all things 2024 Surf City El Salvador ISA World Longboard Championship, especially because the silver medalist just might be familiar to you...Go DeeperFollow: Ginger CaimiChapters00:00 - Intro02:23 - Western Australia Margaret River Pro27:19 - Gabriela Bryan Interview45:33 - ISA World Longboard ChampionshipsInfoMusic: Dry Grass, courtesy of Body TypeContact: info@womensurf.netInstagram: @the.double.upWeb: www.womensurf.net

In this episode we discuss the Rip Curl Bells Beach Pro, Margaret River Pro and the Surf Ranch Pro.After a classic intro from Bodhi, we chat about some behind the scenes adventures during the Bells competition.  Unfortunately, the waves didn't turn up but that doesn't mean there wasn't a lot to talk about. (Time 0:1:30)The next stop on tour was the West Australia Margaret River Pro and the tour finally got some quality waves.  Much to Christian disgust, they didn't take the competition to the box but it was great to see some great performances from the world's best surfers. (Time 1:32:00)Lastly, we extract the good parts from the Surf Ranch Pro amid all the controversy from the Brazillians.  There were definitely improvements with the pool competition this year but is it sustainable ?

Start Here. TRANSCRIPTIONGEORGE: Hey, it's George Fourie. Welcome to the Martial Arts Media™ Business podcast. In today's episode, we're back with interviews and I'm really, really excited to have a repeat guest with us, Sean Allen from Margaret River Martial Arts. So Sean and I connected way back on episode number 8. I had a look yesterday when we did the recording, it was just over six years ago that we had our first chat. First up, it was great to chat and tap into a different insight that Sean Allen delivers. Sean does a bit of a contrast of what we speak about, which is how to do marketing, online marketing, attract the right students, increase signups, and so forth. Sean does no marketing and his school is at capacity with a one-year waiting list. So we might say there's no marketing in there, but there's obviously a lot in there to generate that type of demand.And I really wanted to chat with Sean about having this lifestyle martial arts business, his choice of where he relocated to which is just in Australia. Margaret River is like the surf Mecca of Australia of the world, you'll hear that from the Margaret River Pro. And Sean decided to relocate there and really build this lifestyle martial arts business that serves his lifestyle. But we took a strong turn in the episode and spoke about teachable moments in martial arts instruction. There's some real, real value in there for you as a martial arts school owner and instructor. So buckle up, this is a great episode. Jump in all the show notes are on martialartsmedia.com/135. So you can go there and download the transcript of this episode. And if you've got some value out of this, please share it with someone that you feel... Share it with an instructor that would get some great value from this. All right, that's it for me. Let's jump in.Hey Sean, welcome back!SEAN: Thank you very much, George.GEORGE: The last time we spoke on podcast 8, I was just looking back a few minutes ago and exactly a few days past six years ago that we actually spoke, episode 8.SEAN: Lot's have changed.GEORGE: All right, and so let's jump into that. I wanted to have you back just to have a chat of those changes and a few things that we do differently now. So I'm going to kick it off with the question that I like to ask. What's been your best marketing strategy since we've spoken or just in general that generates the most students for you?
