In this episode of Superlative, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams sits down with professional big wave surfer and TAG Heuer brand ambassador Kai Lenny for an in depth conversation about risk, preparation, and what timing really means when nature is in full control. Growing up in Hawaii with some of the most powerful surf breaks in the world just minutes from his home, Kai explains how learning to read the ocean from land shaped his approach long before he ever paddled into massive waves, and why wave selection is as much a mental calculation as it is physical commitment. The discussion explores the realities of big wave surfing, from the physics of underwater pressure and the danger of impact over drowning, to the evolving role of safety equipment, communication systems, and training that allow surfers to operate at the edge of survivability. Ariel and Kai also unpack why surfing is fundamentally a time based sport, how tides, wave sets, and forecasting dictate every decision, and why a reliable dive watch remains a critical tool even in a world of advanced analytics. Along the way, Kai shares how working closely with TAG Heuer goes far beyond sponsorship, offering insight into testing watches in conditions that cannot be simulated on land, providing real world feedback on durability and ergonomics, and drawing inspiration from Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship to refine his own approach to equipment, performance, and constant improvement. The conversation closes with a thoughtful reflection on parenthood, legacy, and how confronting nature's power reshapes perspective, revealing why for those who live at the extremes, timepieces are not just accessories but quiet companions that measure moments most people will never experience.Follow Kai and check out TAG Heuer Watches:Kai - https://www.instagram.com/kai_lenny/ TAG Heuer - https://www.tagheuer.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

In this deep and compelling episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we welcome professor, writer, and one of the most insightful voices in surf literature, Andy Martin. Known for his ability to explore surfing beyond performance and competition, Andy brings a rare blend of academic depth, lived experience, and poetic clarity to the conversation. Andy Martin has spent decades writing about surfing as culture, obsession, language, and way of life. As a professor, lecturer and a lifelong surfer, he bridges the worlds of academia and the lineup, showing how waves can be read like texts and how surfing reveals powerful truths about identity, freedom, and human connection. His work stands apart for its honesty, nuance, and willingness to explore the emotional and often overlooked sides of surf history. A central focus of this episode is Andy's acclaimed book Surf, Sweat & Tears, which tells the remarkable and mysterious story of Ted Deerhurst, Britain's first professional surfer and a close personal friend of Andy's. The book moves beyond traditional surf biography, blending investigative writing, memoir, and cultural history to examine both the rise and tragic death of a deeply complex figure. Through this story, Andy reflects on loss, friendship, myth-making, and the responsibility of telling surf stories truthfully. In the episode, Andy shares how returning to Hawaii to investigate Deerhurst's life and death forced him to confront uncomfortable questions, not just about surfing's past, but about how the surf world remembers its heroes. He explains why surf history often leaves out inconvenient details, and why mature surf storytelling must allow space for contradiction, vulnerability, and unresolved mystery. The conversation also expands into broader reflections on surf culture today. Andy discusses how surfing has changed, how commercialization has altered its narratives, and why surfing still resists being fully explained or owned. He speaks about waiting, uncertainty, and attention, qualities surfing demands and modern life often erodes. For Andy, the ocean remains a teacher, offering lessons that extend far beyond the act of riding waves. This episode is not just for surfers, but for anyone interested in storytelling, culture, and the meaning we attach to passion and place. Andy Martin reminds us that surfing is not only something we do, but something we interpret, remember, and pass on through words. His insights invite listeners to slow down, listen more closely, and reconsider what really matters in the water and in life. Thoughtful, intelligent, and deeply human, this conversation honors surfing as both an art form and a way of understanding the world.

On the 11th Nightmare Before Christmas... On a sunny November morning in 1971, best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson, both just 15, set out for a day of surfing near Galveston, Texas. The two girls were inseparable—bonded by their shared love of the beach, the waves, and the promise of youth. Maria, a newcomer to Galveston, had already endured a turbulent childhood. After her parents split, she bounced between homes and schools before settling into Ball High School. Shy but friendly, she quickly found her place. She loved water skiing, dated a local ski jumper, and spent her weekends at the beach. Debbie, by contrast, was a lifelong islander, what locals called a BOI (“born on the island”). With one brown eye and one blue-green eye, she stood out immediately. She was bold, competitive, and passionate about water sports, often making the local news for her water skiing competitions. Surfing was her favorite pastime, and her friends remembered her as fun, magnetic, and endlessly outgoing. That Sunday, November 14, they planned a short trip to Houston, just over an hour's drive away, to spend the day exploring. Since neither girl had a car, they decided to hitchhike, a common and almost carefree practice in the early 1970s. Witnesses later reported seeing them outside a Baskin-Robbins near Stewart Beach, laughing and chatting as they bought ice cream. A white van pulled up to the curb. The driver asked where they were headed. “Houston,” one of the girls said. It was his route, he told them. They climbed in. They were never seen alive again.

In this episode of The World of Wishes Podcast we meet wish alumnus Lauren Potter. A top junior Olympian at 13, Lauren was a relentless competitor—until a rare, unnamed autoimmune disease left her gasping for breath. After months in Boston Children's Hospital and six rounds of chemotherapy, she chose hope over fear. When her doctor recommended Make‑A‑Wish, Lauren celebrated her recovery with an active, adventurous wish: surfing her first wave on Waikiki Beach, ATV trails through Kualoa Ranch, ziplining across thousand‑foot valleys, and a sunset on the North Shore that felt like peace. Years later, she committed to Yale volleyball, mentored other pulmonary patients, thanked her wish sponsors from the stage, and found her career intersecting with our Miami home—the Finker‑Frenkel Wish House—bringing her journey full circle. In this episode, Lauren shares how positivity, family, and a single wish can fuel a decade of momentum—and why she proudly wears “Wish Kid” as a badge of honor.

The Fact: Those are Figure Skating jumps. In competitive Ice Dancing, athletes are actually forbidden from performing these types of multi-rotation jumps. It is a common mix-up, but the two are separate disciplines! Surfing as a “One-Off” Showcase The Claim: Andrew thought Surfing was a one-time showcase sport for the Summer Olympics, similar to breakdancing. The Fact: Unlike breakdancing (which was only for Paris 2024), Surfing is a permanent Olympic sport. It debuted in Tokyo 2020, appeared in Paris 2024, and is already confirmed for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The History of Ski Jumping The Claim: Luke suggested that ski jumping started at the Calgary 1988 Olympics with Eddie the Eagle. The Fact: Ski jumping is actually one of the original Winter Olympic sports. It has been in every Winter Games since the very first one in 1924 (Chamonix, France)—64 years before the Calgary Games. When the Games “Staggered” (The 2-Year Gap) The Claim: Andrew and Luke discussed the Games being “staggered” (Summer and Winter in different years) starting after 1988. The Fact: The change actually happened after 1992. Both the Summer and Winter Games were held in 1992 (Albertville and Barcelona). The first time the Winter Olympics were held in their own separate year was Lillehammer 1994. Canada's 2010 Gold Medal Record The Claim: Luke estimated that Canada won about 10 gold medals in Vancouver 2010. The Fact: Canada actually won 14 gold medals in 2010. At the time, this set a world record for the most gold medals ever won by a single country at any Winter Olympics.

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode we catch up with Slingshot's wind division powerhouse duo: Elliott Tauscher (brand manager and Hood River local) and pro rider/engineer Trent Carter (fresh from endless downwind sessions in Oahu).Recorded remotely as the seasons shift—fall hibernation in the Gorge and peak downwind season in Hawaii—the guys kick things off with life updates, snowboarding war stories, and how their roots in skiing, snowboarding, and lake waterman antics shaped their paths into foiling pros.We go deep on:Trent's journey from ditching high school classes for secret Tahoe downwind runs on an Infinity 84 to pitching epic film projects and joining the Slingshot teamHow Slingshot pairs elite athletes like Trent with designers to push boundaries, from early kite innovations to the game-changing One-Lock screwless foil systemDrag as the ultimate enemy: why eliminating screws, optimizing masts/fuselages, and quick-swapping wings/tails unlocks efficiency, stiffness, and endless setup tweaksThe evolution of downwind foils: insane glide with consistent range, high-aspect designs that now carve like surf foils, anhedral/dihedral for maneuverability, and profile tweaks for lift distributionReal-world testing in ocean swell vs. Gorge swell, gear optimization for every condition, and why no single setup rules everywhereWild future ideas: self-adjusting stabilizers, adaptive foils, and how innovations like One-Lock make swapping (and progressing) effortless for everyoneFoiling's magic in connecting disciplines—kite, wing, prone, pump, downwind—and bringing the whole watersports community togetherFrom raw athlete feedback driving R&D to the sheer joy of making foils faster, smoother, and more fun, this is an unfiltered look inside one of foiling's most innovative brands—and why the best is still yet to come.If you've ever wondered what goes into building the foils dominating downwind runs and beyond … this is it.Follow Slingshot → https://slingshotsports.com/pages/foilTrent Carter → @trent.carterElliott Tauscher: @elliott_stays

Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code: SALTY  at https://bruntworkwear.com/salty  #bruntpod In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we start by reflecting on what it felt like sitting down with 3x World Champion Tom Curren. Not a highlight reel interview, but a rare, quiet, sometimes uncomfortable conversation with one of surfing's most mysterious figures. We talk about why Tom is so hard to interview, his humility, his long pauses, and why being in the room with him feels completely different than talking to any other surf legend.From there, the episode opens up into classic Pinch My Salt territory — Christmas chaos, working at church during December, bizarre real-life encounters, and the strange contrast between everyday stress and the calm that surfing brings. We dive into surf and skate culture, Pinchy Clippies, Bam Margera sightings, skating debates, dog surfing, and why certain moments still feel magical in action sports.The conversation also drifts into surf philosophy, why surfing can feel psychedelic, how waves carry meaning, and why the soul of surfing matters more than clips, algorithms, or industry trends. It's part reflection, part comedy, part cultural therapy — the kind of episode that could only happen after talking to Tom Curren.#PinchMySalt #SurfPodcast #Surfing #SurfCulture #SkateCulture #TomCurren #SterlingSpencer #SurfComedy #ComedyPodcast #SurfTalk #CoreLord #SurfCommunity #ChurchLife #ChristmasChaos #HolidayPodcast #BamMargera #Skateboarding #WestPeak #SoftTop #TwinFin #Shapers #SurfHistory #Pensacola #GulfBreeze #YouTubePodcast #PodcastClips #FunnyPodcast #SurfingLife #SkaterOfTheYear #ChrisJoslin

Winter surfing is a thing, and it's happening all over Canada — from the giant waves of Lake Superior to the Atlantic coast to Tofino, B.C. Three winter surfers from across this country share their love for the sport, how it compares to summer surfing and what keeps pulling them back to chase waves in the frigid winter waters

In today's episode the Encyclopedia of Surfing's Matt Warshaw discusses the risks of having surf history chronicled by a single man, who's gotten short shrift on the EOS, how much and how little has changed in surf culture since the first magazine, an examination of pioneering female surf photographers, the first surfer to go at Backdoor, and why he got screamed at (and run over) on his most recent surf trip.

In this episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with transdisciplinary artist Stephanie Dinkins about AI as a container for preserving oral history, tradition, and the kinds of community knowledge that rarely make it onto the internet.Dinkins shares how a chance encounter with Bina48 in 2014 reshaped her practice. They discuss how this connects to her push for small, community-driven data that protects nuance and self-definition, especially for Black and Brown communities, against the homogenizing pull of large corporate models.They also cover Not the Only One as a “living archive” of family memory, the politics of access, privacy, and consent, and why Dinkins treats imagination (and hyperstition) as a practical method for building the AI futures we actually want.Monday's editorial (Beeple on Robot Dogs as Canvas): https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/beeple-on-robot-dogs-as-canvasChapters

Today we surf the creepy crawly waves, then ones that lurk in the background. We clear out these fearful waves, and fill up with bright energy.

Born in Hawaii in 1961, Danny Kwock rode his first waves at Waikiki when he was ten. Surfing took a brief hiatus when he moved with his family to the San Fernando Valley, but picked up soon thereafter when they moved to Newport Beach, right at Wedge, which is where Kwock made his mark, charging big waves and becoming one of the brightest, flashiest surfers of the Echo Beach scene, wearing pink boardshorts and riding polka dot twin-fins when most Californians followed a far more understated ethos.  Kwock was featured on the cover of Surfer and Surfing magazines in the early 1980s, did a short stint on the world pro tour, but soon became a forerunner to what we now know of as a professional "freesurfer." But he also saw the virtues of the long game. When the opportunity arose to work in a behind-the-scenes role at Quiksilver, he jumped at it, and he hit his straps as the marketing director, a position he held from the early 1980s up until the mid-aughts. (It should be noted that Kwock's relationship with Quiksilver began a few years earlier, when he and his Echo Beach buddy Preston Murray got caught stealing boardshorts from the warehouse.) Kwock's early team captain/marketing position started in what were wild days. The industry grew fast, and he played an instrumental role in that growth.  In this episode of Soundings, Kwock talks with Jamie Brisick about meeting Duke Kahanamoku, surfing Wedge, the Echo Beach era, fashion, negotiating contracts, Andy Warhol, the wild days of the surf industry, and signing Kelly Slater to Quiksilver.  Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin).

Surf legend Tom Curren joins Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan in Pensacola to talk story, Black Beauty, twin fins vs thrusters, and whether Gerry Lopez “sold out” to soft tops by putting his name on Costco foam boards. In this episode of the Pinch My Salt surf podcast, we go deep on core surf culture, style, and the future of surfing while laughing about The Search era, foamie invasions, and “soft top police” writing tickets in the parking lot.Tom breaks down his iconic Jeffreys Bay waves, the magic of Skip Frye boards and Al Merrick designs, East Coast surf stoke, twin fins coming back, and why world titles and contest wins can't deliver real happiness the way faith, community, and sharing waves can. We also get into foiling, skim-style boards, soft tops vs hardboards, surf industry problems, and how groupies, perms, and silver wetsuits somehow all happened in the 80s.If you love core surfing, surf history, or just want to hear the GOAT of style talk story and roast soft tops, you're in the right place.

Hang loose! In episode 149 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about all things surfing. They explore the long history of wave-riding across the globe, from Peru to West Africa, and consider how surfing helps us to reimagine social issues and what surfing reveals about the connection between flow and freedom. Is surfing the pinnacle of human life? How has the sportification of surfing directly contravened surfing's anti-capitalist ethos? Why is the average surfer an image of white masculinity? And how is this image tied to indigenous erasure?
