The Temple of Surf Podcast – This Week's Guest: Jeff “Doc” Lausch of Surf Prescriptions This week on The Temple of Surf Podcast, we welcome one of the most innovative minds in surfboard shaping, Jeff “Doc” Lausch, the legendary founder of Surf Prescriptions. With a career spanning over four decades, Doc is known not just for pushing the boundaries of surfboard design, but for injecting punk rock energy, fearless experimentation, and personal creativity into every board that leaves his shaping room. From the vibrant surf scene of Huntington Beach in the ‘80s and ‘90s to the global stage of competitive surfing, Surf Prescriptions has always stood out as a brand that blends high performance with bold individuality. Doc's boards have been ridden by some of the most radical surfers of all time and many underground legends whose careers were shaped—literally and figuratively—by his work. In this episode, we dive into Jeff's incredible journey: how he got started in shaping, the philosophy behind Surf Prescriptions, his influences in both art and surfing, and what it means to stay authentic in an industry that constantly shifts with trends. We also discuss the evolution of surf culture, the role of experimentation in board design, and why some of the most unforgettable rides happen on the most unorthodox shapes. Whether you're a surfboard design geek, a fan of 1980s surf punk culture, or just love stories from the heart of the shaping bay, this episode is a must-listen. Jeff shares candid insights on staying true to your vision, the connection between artist and athlete, and the value of trusting intuition over convention.

This week we got @Martin & @Ludo here on the podcast and we talk with them about their epic surf trip adventure last year, where they crossed Morocco on a moped. 2300km on a moped, nothing was really prepared, one board, simple gear - most of it just sorted out after the arrival and then - vast open coastline, kilometers riding on the beach in the search for novelty waves, the connection to human kind and the land.

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast we meet Alistair Thompson, the author of 'A Surfer's Guide to Enlightenment', a beautiful and reflective book that blends surfing, spirituality, and self-discovery. It's part memoir, part philosophy, and full of lessons drawn straight from the ocean. Alistair shares his journey from a life of 'monotonous discomfort' to one enriched by surfing, discussing themes of fear, ego, love, forgiveness, and faith. In his book, he explores everything from fear and ego to love, forgiveness, and faith—all through the lens of the sea. Whether you're a surfer or not, this conversation is about what it means to start, to fall, to get back up, and to find your wave—whatever that might be. It's an ode to those seeking self-discovery and meaning in their lives.

Willkommen in Kookhausen! Zu Gast sind heute Prof. Dr. Michael Döllinger und Dr. Stefan Kniesburges vom Universitätsklinikum Erlangen. Die beiden beschäftigen sich in ihrer Forschungsarbeit unter anderem mit dem Strömungsverhalten der Luft zur Stimmbildung. In ihren Forschungsbereich fallen aber auch hydrodynamische Forschungsarbeiten. Eine davon ist brandaktuell und trägt den Namen "Measurements of the hydrodynamic pressure on a surfboard fin during surfing". In dieser Arbeit haben sie, bzw. Nina Punger die Finnen (Twin Fin Setup) eines Surfboards mit Sensoren versehen, um auf einer Rapid Wave (Fuchslochwelle in Nürnberg) den hydrodynamischen Druck zu messen und auszuwerten, der auf die Finnen wirkt. Dabei sind sie auf Erstaunliches gestoßen. Die beiden sprechen über ihre Forschungsarbeit, über eigene Surferfahrungen und über die Grenzen ihrer Forschungsmodelle. Dazu natürlich "Würdest du lieber..." und mehr!

Meet Keith Fairhurst. He wasn't born into business. In fact, he grew up in a family shaped by war and frugality—his parents from the working-class streets of Liverpool during WWII, later starting fresh in South Africa in the 1950s.Back then, the dream was simple: Get a stable job, stick with it for 40 years, and retire with a pension. But Keith's dream? It started with a surfboard.At 13, Keith wanted to ride the waves—not just metaphorically, but literally. So, he found a way to fund it. Leatherwork was booming, so he learned the craft, made belts and bags by hand, and sold them at school. His first lesson? You can turn your curiosity into cash.That experiment led to a bigger idea: test small, learn fast, and never wait for permission.From leather belts to national marketing roles, to building and selling companies—Keith's path is anything but linear. He's lived the scrappy start-up grind and the corporate climb. But through it all, one insight stayed true: Selling isn't just a skill—it's the heartbeat of every great business.Today, Keith helps founders who are great at what they do but struggle to sell what they're worth. This episode unpacks the truth behind the 94% of businesses that fail to sell—and what you can do to make sure you're not one of them.
Most graphic designers are told to niche down, play it safe, and follow the damn rules. Pennybridge did the opposite—and built a global, wildly successful studio from a surf town outside Australia's big cities.This isn't your typical design story.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we sit down with the unapologetically raw, fiercely independent founders of Pennybridge—a creative powerhouse known for high-energy branding, punk rock vibes, and logos that landed them clients like Porsche, Wu-Tang, and Red Bull.But behind the bold visuals and Blink-182 posters is a brutally smart business strategy that every designer needs to hear.We dive deep into:• Why “niching down” is overrated—and how to stand out without selling out• How Pennybridge built a design studio around lifestyle, values, and vibe• The real reason clients trust them with million-dollar brands—and why most designers never get that chanceBy the end of this episode, you'll rethink what it means to run a design studio, how to attract dream clients without compromise, and why your edge is your advantage.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?
