Maine Democrats STAB GIRLS IN THE BACK! Say F**K YOU in VOTE to BAN Transgenders in Girl's 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

»Es war, als hätte ein Blitz in meinen Kopf eingeschlagen. Ich wusste plötzlich, dass es das ist, was ich tun will«, erzählt die Dirigentin Elim Chan im »Elbphilharmonie Talk«. Selbstironisch und voller persönlicher Anekdoten spricht sie über ihren Werdegang, über nicht ganz unpraktische Vorurteile, Tai-Chi und besondere Herausforderungen am Dirigierpult. Sie erklärt, warum sie manchmal lieber ohne Stab dirigiert, und erzählt, wie Pultlegende Bernard Haitink sie mal aus der Reserve lockte. 1986 in Hongkong geboren, erhielt Elim Chan ihre musikalische Ausbildung vor allem in den USA. Nach einem ziemlichen Senkrechtstart in ihre Welt-Karriere steht sie heute am Pult von internationalen Top-Orchestern, voranging in Europa und Nordamerika. In der Elbphilharmonie war sie bereits mehrfach zu Gast, im April 2025 feierte sie ihr Debüt beim NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester. Hier könnt ihr Elim Chan im Konzert erleben. Am 21.8.2025 mit dem Concertgebouworkest Young und der Cellistin Julia Hagen.

Diesmal wird es sprunghaft! Wir sprechen über den bewussten Wechsel zwischen Planungsdisziplinen, Standorten und Maßstäben. Da ADEPT in zwei Ländern und mit einem in vielerlei Hinsicht diverses Team die Projekte bearbeitet, haben wir die passende Gesprächspartnerin für dieses Thema gefunden. Welche Unterschiede gibt es zwischen Dänemark und Deutschland sowohl in der Planung als auch in den Wünschen der späteren Nutzer*innen? Was können wir beim Thema Nachhaltigkeit für unsere Planungen mitnehmen? Gewinnen Projekte an Qualität, wenn sie interdisziplinär bearbeitet werden?Luisa Balz und Claus Herrmann sprechen mit ihr auch über die Schnittstelle innen zu außen und welche Vor- bzw. Nachteile Zusammenarbeit innerhalb eines Büros oder zwischen spezialisierten Büros hat. Diese Folge wurde live im Rahmen des Hamburger Städtebauseminars aufgezeichnet. Am Abend selbst haben wir vor und nach der Aufnahme die Interaktion mit dem Publikum genossen, daher ist diese Folge etwas kürzer als gewöhnlich.Tanja Jauernig hat Stadtplanung in Hamburg studiert, als Projektleiterin im Büro Luchterhandt gearbeitet und ist seit 2018 Teil von ADEPT.

The pod questions are all of Sam Burgess's eggs in one basket as Wire march towards London? Rob ponders what Mr Shaw filled his cavity with back in 1981. Sam drills the fixture list and predicts that, due to numerous forthcoming cancellations, Warrington can still finish top of the NRL.

A major announcement from the WSL, and another from Stab. Mikey and Buck break down everything happening this week in surfing. Email him for Mikey's leash — buck@stabmag.com.

I've been viewing houses this past fortnight, so I thought I'd share my anecdotal 2p on the state of the London property market.I'm looking in Brockley, SE4, which, if you don't know it, used to be rough AF, but is now where all the cool kids are. The area has benefited from the various London rail line extensions – you can be in Shoreditch or Canary Wharf in 15 minutes; the Jubilee and Elizabeth lines are a similarly short step away – and that has attracted the slay crew to the area. The road links though are still horrendous though, made worse by 20mph speed limits and bus lane misallocation of essential road space. The drive to west London is interminable.Brockley has a good stock of beautiful detached, semi-detached and terraced Victorian houses. For example: With its proximity to Greenwich and the river docks, it was once a wealthy area, though, like most of south-east London, it got bombed to heck in the war.There are plenty of nice parks too. One of them, Hilly Fields, was modelled on Hampstead Heath, and there are many gorgeous houses in the roads running off it. Not quite Hampstead gorgeous, but getting there.Brockley also has the highest density of cemeteries in London, if you fancy dying any time soon, it's highly convenient. It is, I gather, London's most haunted area.It is only a bit stabby. Nothing like as bad as neighbouring Lewisham. (Maybe “only a bit stabby” will one day become part of estate agents' jargon, perhaps to replace “vibrant”. I can't believe how normalised stabbing now is that I'm talking like that.)The stabbiness is offset, however, by the plethora of nice restaurants, cafés, bars, craft ale breweries, the farmers' market, mini-festivals, pilates studios et al. I understand, in Browns, the area boasts London's best coffee and, in Babur, its best Indian restaurant. (Technically Babur is in Honor Oak, but, like England and many of its foreign sporting greats, we'll claim it as our own.)I shot this vid from the steps up to the station.Brockley feels younger and more up-and-coming than the once-cool areas to the west like Queen's Park, Kensal Rise, Clapham and so on, probably because of its easy access to east London. (A lot of people from Hackney move down here.)I moved here begrudgingly and skint in 2015 and have grown to really like it.But what about the housing market?I've known markets in which estate agents don't give you the time of day, there are so many prospective buyers, but – perhaps because they know I am an unencumbered buyer – the agents are maybe not quite all over me, but certainly on my case: lots of emails, phone calls and the rest of it. That indicates it's more of a buyers' market.But, while I would describe the housing market here as slow, it is not dead. Stuff has been going under offer in the two weeks I've been looking, though rarely at asking.With the costs of moving – Stamp Duty is 10% above £925k, and 12% above £1.5m, plus an extra 5% if you own another property – buyers have got to really want to buy.Sellers, meanwhile, have to really want to sell, which often entails reducing their asking prices. Stuff which is unrealistically priced is staying on the market a long time. Look at this one (actually up the road in Honor Oak):This is a 5,000-square-foot property, not so nice inside, but with access to a 2-acre private garden behind with its own tennis court – quite something in London. From £2.5 million to £1.75 million and they still can't shift it. (It needs a lot of money spending on it.)On the other hand, there don't seem to be many forced sellers – people who can't make their payments – and we won't get any house price crash, long-awaited or not, until that is a reality.I imagine Brockley, as a young, trendy area, is busier than other parts of town, but that is my overall feel: slow, but not dead.I've looked at a few family houses. I can't really comment on flats, but I gather there is an oversupply of 2-bed flats across London, and it is really hard to shift them. I'm not sure if this applies to Brockley or not.It doesn't feel as expensive as it did around 2019–2022 (realised sales prices are a fraction lower, but there is obviously currency debasement to consider too), but nor does it feel super cheap. We're a long way off where we were in, say, 2013, even though grander parts of London – Kensington and Chelsea, for example – are back at those 2013 levels.Where does the housing market go from here? It all depends on two things: interest rates and Stamp Duty.Britain's zombie housing market, brought to you by Stamp Duty.If rates go lower, the market will not collapse. There won't be the forced sellers. We'll continue as we are: stagnant. If rates go higher, the market is in trouble.But get rid of Stamp Duty, and you'd have a flurry of activity across the country tomorrow. People aren't moving because of the amount of dead money involved. Stamp Duty has immobilised the country.If you're buying a two-million-pound house, you will pay £153,750 in stamp duty. Cash. Money you've already paid tax on once. You can't borrow the money. You have to be extremely rich, or extremely desperate for a home, to be willing to pay a £150k one-off tax of this kind. Most would rather avoid paying it, so they don't move.You will pay more if you are not a UK resident.If you happen to own another property – which most people in that wealth bracket will, either their first flat they never sold, a property they inherited, or a home in the country – and the house you are buying is not your main residence, the tax rises to £253,750. A quarter of a million quid.That's why houses in Kensington and Chelsea no longer sell. EDIT: My mate, whose kids have now flown the nest, sent me this: "We live in a 4 floor house, 2 floors we don't use, I haven't been to the top floor for about 5 years (seriously). We would love to move and downsize but makes no sense as the costs of buying a new house would use up all the gain on downsizing . IE We just end up with a smaller house."This happens all the way down the scale. Kirstie Whatsit off the telly was tweeting about it the other day.My mother's friend, who is in her 70s, lives in a 2-bed flat two floors up in Wandsworth worth maybe £700,000. She is worried about climbing the stairs at her age, and wants to move to another 2-bed flat. She will pay £25,000 in Stamp Duty on top of all her other moving costs. She doesn't have 25 grand to throw away.The result is this nearly dead market. Britain's zombie housing market.Stamp Duties were one of the taxes the ignited the American Revolution. If only we had muskets today …The biggest villains in all this are former Chancellor Gordon Brown for first raising Stamp Duty on property transactions (before him it just one per cent on all properties over £60,000), and, worst of all, George Osborne for raising the rates to today's ludicrous levels. Rather than address the root causes of unaffordable housing – fiat money, artificially low interest rates, improper measures of inflation and dumb planning laws – he blamed the market, and attacked it with Stamp Duty. But all of Jeremy Hunt, Rishi Sunak, Sajid Javid, Philip Hammond and Alistair Darling must take their share of the blame for failing to do anything about it, when they had the chance. (We'll give Kwasi Kwarteng and Nadhim Zahawi a pass on the grounds they didn't have the gig for long enough).Osborne, Brown et al have given birth to the zombie situation we have now. They have immobilised the country in the process. Government. Yet again. 0 stars. Would not use again.It's enough to make you a libertarian. Until next time,DominicPS If you enjoyed today's article, please like, share and all that stuff.

Episode 141 - Covering All Comps! Japan to West Australia - We Have It All. It's been quite the last week or so in the world of rash vest wearing warriors, taking on competition. From the WSL at Margaret River to Stab High in Japan, you got a flavour of two very different competitions. Last year we had high expectations of the air comp that STAB put on and we felt it was a little lacking, but this year couldn't be more different. This iteration was NEXT LEVEL. A high make rate across the board, girls, women, boys and men all went mad! Some airs were MADNESS! Listen in to what stood out for us. Then Margaret River, what an event. Wild, raw main break, heavy slabs at the Box and more! Tune in to hear what we think. Last but not least we also pay homage to the late great Jack McCoy, who sadly past! RIP Legend. Follow us at @the_insiders_podcast - Link In Bio

The Accidental Soldier is hilariously excellent - a laugh-out-loud memoir that delivers a sweet blend of comedy and storytelling. It brings British military humour vividly to life, while also navigating the serious terrain of leadership through war, fear, hope, and aspiration. It reads like a screenplay in waiting, and would make a brilliant film. Owain Mulligan, a frustrated teacher and self-declared weekend warrior (a "STAB" in old Army lingo), signs up for a tour in Iraq with the Queen's Royal Hussars in a bid for change. What follows is his story as a troop leader, a far punchier job that he had signed up for. The book is filled with comic moments. Nearly every page contains a witty remark or a hilarious anecdote - from felt-tip penis graffiti in Basra Palace to bizarre and endearing interactions with Iraqis. The opening page talks of there being too much mastaubation in the draft, but the humour is actually far more sophisticated. Mulligan's tone is light-hearted, and for veterans, the authenticity of his experience rings true, even if there are some embellishments. For civilian readers, it might leave the risky impression that war is…fun. Yet beneath the humour lies something deeper. Mulligan's comedy often feels like a mask, concealing frustration, anger, and sorrow behind a stoic façade. His writing invites empathy, and his portrayal of friction between units, allied forces, or the Foreign Office, is handled with both humour and humility. For example, being stopped for his ID card by an American soldier or interactions with obviously corrupt Iraqi officials. Beyond the storytelling, The Accidental Soldier offers an important perspective. It gives a glimpse into how soldiers truly felt during their time in Iraq. Mulligan's frustrations with the Iraqi Army and Police are clear, though often cloaked in humour. By the book's end, he begins to ask the harder questions: Was it worth it? His answer "I didn't make it any worse", is offered as a kind of modest victory. This is not a mocking critique of the war. Mulligan's deep respect for Iraq and its people is evident throughout. His sense of duty, while often buried beneath comedy, is unmistakable. The book also tackles the challenges of leadership, from handling cultural differences to dealing with death. One might come away thinking Mulligan found leadership easy - but 19 years of hindsight have surely softened the harder edges. Still, there are moments when the humour fades and the rawness of memory shines through, especially in the final pages. These scenes offer a jarring but necessary reminder of war's reality - and mark a turning point in how the book should be understood. His interaction with a local complaining about their strategy or the frustration about not being able to do more comes through as critical notes. At first glance, The Accidental Soldier might seem like another in the vein of The Junior Officers' Reading Club or Doug Beattie's numerous memoirs. It's both like them and not. The heart of this book lies in bringing the human experience to life, with humour as its main weapon. Discussing the book through The Wavell Room, we finished it feeling this was a genuine reflection - one written with respect, and one that adds real authenticity to the genre. The Accidental Soldier is brilliant. It's hilarious. It's laugh-out-loud funny. A confident 11/10. A copy of The Accidental Soldier was provided to The Wavell Room by the Publisher.

Stab High Japan presented by Monster Energy is finally here! The event will be broadcast live on stabmag.com and the Stab Premium app at 5 pm on May 23rd and 24th (PDT), or 10 am on May 24th and 25th (AEST). In this ep, Stace, Mikey and Buck dissect everything they've seen, heard, and felt in Japan on the eve of Stab High qualifiers day.

This morning we did a round of Friend or Foe and things got HEATED! We played the Feud to talk Road Trips in honor of Memorial Day weekend and some sad news about Bryan Riley's truck to kick off the show... 

Chas Smith (@BeachGrit) is a luminous figure in surfing, an adept journalist, and author. Born in San Jose, California in 1976, Smith's family uprooted and landed in Coos Bay, Oregon where he learned to surf. After studying intercultural studies in undergrad, Smith graduated with a master's in linguistics, going on to study in Egypt and at Oxford. Following a story he published in Australia Surfing Life about surfing in Yemen in the wake of 9/11, Smith went on to report in Lebanon, Somalia, Israel-Palestine, and wound up a captive of Hezbollah reporting for Current TV. In the early-aughts, Smith worked for Vice. Soon, he joined Stab magazine at the behest of Derek Rielly, then editor-in-chief, and they set in on an unparalleled era in surf journalism. Some of Stab's more controversial content garnered unsavory public spats that earned Smith some anti-Semitic epithets, and then in 2014, Smith and Reilly began Beach Grit—a deep well of incendiary, tongue-in-cheek honesty drenched in satire, sans filter. He's now a regular contributor to The Surfer's Journal, with bylines at Esquire and Playboy, and the author of Paradise, Now Go to Hell, a cultural vignette of Oahu's North Shore, which was a finalist for the PEN Center USA Award for Nonfiction.If you dig this podcast, will you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts?

Hello listeners, and welcome back to another week with UTI! bigkasthatguypm@gmail.com

Get ready for another creepy and disturbing Mother's Day episode of Stab in the Back! First, Benton shares thee infamous story of Susan Smith and the murders of her two children, Michael and Alex. Then, Anna tells the horrible tale of Debra Jeter's deadly. attack on her two daughters. Finally, the two settle in for an episode of Dateline, profiling the con artist Sante Kimes.Our TV doc this week is Season 33: Episode 13 of Dateline, "The Devil Wore White".

The WSL dropped a bomb on the surf world this week, and like Swedish captives, we all collectively cheered. On this episode of The Drop, Stab's co-founder Sam McIntosh is joined by the WSL's new CEO Ryan Crosby to discuss the League's major (and widely lauded) around for the 2026 CT season. Here's the TLDR version, ICYMI:
- The Final Five is dead.
- So is the mid-year cut
- So is the non-elimination opening round
- The 2026 Championship Tour will feature 12 events — with a late season ‘playoff'.
- It will start at Bells Beach in April and end at Pipeline in December, where points will be weighted at 150%.
- World Titles will once again be decided by cumulative points, not a single-day shootout. After that, Mikey and Buck hop on to discuss a few other stories from the week, including an incredible Greg Browning eulogy, a piece on lineup personalities, and an academic excuse for surfing more.

The 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club is back with the one and only Eithan Osborne! The fearless aerialist and one of surfing's most electrifying talents joins Conner Coffin in the new home for CBSC - Conner's garage. From winning STAB High Japan 2024, to filming his profile piece, SKINNY MEAT HEAD, with Dane Reynolds and Chapter 11, to tackling the first-ever Natural Selection Tour, Eithan takes us behind the curtain on a whirlwind of a year. He breaks down the mental game of heats vs. free surfing, what it takes to rise through the ranks, and how to keep charging—even while surfing through gnarly injuries, shoulder dislocations, a torn meniscus, and a broken toe. Eithan shares wild tales from the road, including an unbelievable experience with legendary boat captain Martin Daly that starts with a boat collision and ends with Martin diving in himself to repair the boat. Eithan also reveals the most painful and traumatizing injury of his life: a brush with the notorious Gympie plant. They dive into growing up surfing in the 805 and Ventura County with Dane Reynolds, Bobby Martinez, and Tom Curren as their heroes, and how those roots shaped Eithan's approach to surfing and life.

(Satire) Well damn Karmelo Anthony, self defense in Texas is definitely different from other states. They would have done it to him if they had the chance. Why is his bail $1 million dollars is the real question?

Mikey C and Stace break down their Portugal forecast and picks before Big Dick Power Surfer swings in with a take of his own. The boys also chat about the Stab Highway finale (presented by Monster Energy), a huge surfer-led protest in Puerto Rico, how the Nile River will save Australia's waves, and Rob Machado's first thruster in 21 years.

“Trilogies are all about going back to the beginning and discovering something that wasn't true from the get-go. Godfather, Jedi, all revealed something we thought was true that wasn't true.” We watched “Scream 3” with our friend, author Wesley Thomas, and we've all been seriously considering getting bangs. Our friends from Woodsboro are back, and yet again, someone is trying to un-alive everyone in Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) orbit. Yes, Sid is living way off in the canyons answering a help line and dipping her own candles or whatever, but there's a NEW fiend in the Ghostface mask, and this time they have a comically oversized voice-changing device! In a meta turn (in an already mega-meta franchise), we are on the set of Stab 3, and the cast are being taken out one by one. We get a stellar camp performance from Parker Posey, pre-Dr. McDreamy Patrick Dempsey, and the debut of the hairstyle that launched 1000 memes— the Gale Weathers iconic “Scream 3” bangs. In the words of mega stylist Law Roach… “Horror Queen.” Thanks for listening all season and we'll be back with fresh episodes before you know it!
