Surfing has the power to transform lives. In this episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we welcome Joshe Faulkner, a two-time South African surf champion whose life story is as powerful as the waves he rides. Born and raised in the township of Jeffreys Bay, Joshe Faulkner grew up surrounded by both incredible waves and difficult realities. Jeffreys Bay is known worldwide for its legendary right-hand point break, Supertubes, one of the most perfect waves on the planet. But for many young people growing up in nearby townships, life can be extremely challenging. Joshe's childhood was shaped by poverty, gang culture, and the daily pressures of growing up in an environment where many young people are pulled toward crime. In his own words, the choices often seemed simple: follow the path of the streets, or find another way. For Joshe, surfing became that path. Inspired by older surfers in his community and supported by local mentors, Joshe began surfing at a young age. The ocean quickly became a refuge, a place where he could escape the pressures of the township and focus on something positive. Surfing gave him discipline, purpose, and a vision for a different future. As his talent developed, Joshe started competing in surf contests across South Africa. His natural ability, powerful style, and deep knowledge of the waves at Jeffreys Bay helped him rise through the ranks of competitive surfing. Over time he achieved remarkable success, becoming two-time South African Surf Champion and one of the most promising surfers to emerge from the region. But Joshe's journey has never been easy. Along the way he faced personal losses, including friends and family affected by gang violence in his community. These experiences shaped his perspective on life and strengthened his determination to pursue surfing as a way forward. Today, Joshe Faulkner represents a powerful example of how surfing can create opportunities and inspire change. His story shows how the ocean can offer a different path, even in the most challenging environments. In this conversation, Joshe shares his personal journey from township life to national champion. We discuss the role surfing played in shaping his life, the challenges of competing internationally, and the importance of mentorship and community support. For surf fans around the world, Joshe Faulkner's story is a reminder that surfing is more than a sport, it can be a force that transforms lives.

Powerful men need to honor both polarities within themselves. Men disconnected from their feminine side become rigid, cold, ineffective.The most powerful man is least likely to get into physical altercation—people unconsciously feel he's a menace if tested. Doctor stuck probe in man's calf, found pinched nerve in spine. Everything's interconnected. Trees bend with wind gust or they don't stand. Bend don't break defense. Surfing—you're not commanding the wave, you're working in tune with nature. There's no strength without flexibility. They go hand in hand.The feminine gives space, masculine uses space. Elastic band: pull too far it snaps, let it come back gently. Architecture can be integration of balance.Listen if you're ready to feel your emotions, trust your intuition, honor your sensitivity—then use masculine structure to build something the world has never seen. You become more powerful by integrating it.

Surfing has become a truly global sport, with athletes emerging from cultures and backgrounds that once seemed far removed from the ocean. In this episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we welcome Fantin Habashi, an inspiring surfer whose life journey reflects resilience, perseverance, and an unwavering passion for waves. Fantin Habashi's story is unique within the world of surfing. With roots connected to both Switzerland and Egypt, his early life was shaped by movement between different countries and cultures.  Although Switzerland is a country surrounded by mountains rather than coastlines, Fantin's passion for surfing grew through constant travel to the Atlantic coast. A key place in his development as a surfer was Hossegor, one of Europe's most iconic surf destinations, known for its powerful beach breaks and competitive surf culture. Training and surfing in Hossegor allowed Fantin to refine his technique and immerse himself in one of the most vibrant surf communities in Europe. Surrounded by talented surfers and world-class waves, he began building the skills that would eventually take him to international competition. Through dedication, discipline, and relentless commitment, Fantin Habashi rose through the competitive ranks and ultimately became Swiss National Surf Champion, representing Switzerland in international surf competitions. His success demonstrates how surfing continues to expand globally, with athletes from non-traditional surf nations increasingly competing on the world stage. Fantin's journey highlights the power of perseverance and passion. Surfing requires constant training, travel, and a deep understanding of the ocean. For surfers coming from countries without coastlines, the challenge can be even greater. Yet Fantin's story shows that with determination and commitment, it is possible to overcome geographical and cultural barriers. In this conversation, Fantin Habashi shares the story of how he discovered surfing and the path that led him to become Swiss champion. We discuss the challenges of building a professional surfing career while representing a country not traditionally associated with the sport. Fantin also reflects on the rapid growth of European surfing and the increasing strength of surf communities across France, Portugal, Spain, and beyond. These regions have become important hubs for developing surfers who now compete internationally. For surf fans fascinated by the global expansion of surfing and the inspiring journeys behind today's athletes, this episode offers a compelling look at the life and career of one of Switzerland's most remarkable surfers.

Although Dark Shadows was a supernatural Gothic drama, there were several characters who displayed humorous traits throughout the series. From the outrageous Carl Collins and Pansy Faye to the eccentric Eagle Hill Cemetery caretaker and the put-upon Mrs. Johnson, this episode takes a look at the lighter side of Dark Shadows. Returning to the podcast to discuss these amusing character moments is entertainer and groovy Austin Powers tribute artist, Richard Halpern. In addition to our main discussion, we talk about Richard's experiences as emcee at the Dark Shadows Festivals, Baby Dark Shadows, the Collinsport Players, his recent Austin Powers adventures, and much more!Terror at Collinwood and Shilling Shockers shirts, stickers, mugs, and merch at the Penny Dreadful XIII TeePublic shopHelp support the podcast by donating at Buy Me a CoffeeFollow the Terror at CollinwoodFACEBOOK PAGEDark Shadows 60th Anniversary Celebration Jul. 31-Aug. 2, 2026 - EVENTBRITE TICKETS LINKDark Shadows 60th Anniversary Celebration Jul. 31-Aug. 2, 2026 – HOTEL RESERVATIONS LINKAustin Powers Impersonator InstagramRichard Halpern Austin Powers FacebookAustin Powers Clone on YoutubeBaby Dark Shadows on YouTubeMonstahXpo Website and TicketsMonsterama Website and TicketsGeorge Kalogridis YouTube Channel (DS AI animations)Surfing the Shadows surf rock cover of Robert Cobert's Dark Shadows theme by Johnny D & The MoonlightersTaC logos by Eric MarshallPenny Dreadful's Shilling ShockersEtsy shopDownload or listen to the AUDIO version below.

"The day I decided to quit surfing… it just popped in my head like, 'Huh, nobody just quits surfing. Like if I did, what would happen? Who would I be?'"On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we ponder the question of ‘who would we be without surfing' with our guest for this episode. Jason Borte is one of the true pillars of East Coast surfing — a competitor, storyteller, teacher, and lifelong ambassador of the stoke.  Hailing from Virginia Beach, Jason's journey began with a humbling first session in 1982 and took him all the way to ESA All-Star and ASP East Pro Champion. A Master's-level educator, surf school founder, Hall of Famer, and author of multiple books including Pipe Dreams, Virginia Is for Surfers, and his upcoming memoir How Surfing Ruined My Life, Jason now serves as Director of Surf Coaching at Atlantic Park — home to North America's first Wavegarden Cove surf lagoon — where he continues shaping the future of the sport through coaching, community programs, and youth initiatives.We dig into his transition from 15 years in the classroom to the surf world, new competitive formats at Atlantic Park like the man-on-man "Chlorine Clash," and inclusive youth programs bringing swimming and surfing to underserved kids through partnerships with Pharrell and Adidas. Plus, Jason shares the story behind his books and what led him to step away from the ocean for an entire year.Follow Jason on Instagram @jborte & @howsurfingruinedmylifeAnd you can order his books here: Diangelo PublicationsThe Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Huge Shoutout to Trey Highton for the connection!Music: Artist: The Mountain GoatsSong: This YearAlbum: The Sunset Tree00:00 Guest Introduction04:05 Kelly Slater Mixup05:34 Leaving Teaching Behind06:36 Maker Space Class12:28 Surf Projects Surprise13:49 Surf Camp Curriculum17:07 Atlantic Park Origins18:13 Typhoon Lagoon Break22:16 First Wave Moment24:59 Director Role Daily26:49 Tom Curren Visit31:27 Wave Pool Impacts36:03 New Contest Formats42:10 Community Access Programs45:42 Wave Pools With Purpose46:28 Ebony Beach Club Groms48:03 Mentorship In The Lineup49:08 First Surf In 198251:29 Virginia Beach Pecking Order54:39 Early Contests And Drive58:06 Parents Backing The Dream01:00:52 Facing Kelly And Going Pro01:03:23 OP Sponsorship And Rivalries01:05:26 Bud Tour No Priority Chaos01:12:26 Wes Laine East Coast Icon01:16:59 From Pro To Surf Writer01:21:33 Learning Under Steve Hawk01:25:55 Writing Pipe Dreams01:29:56 Research And Kelly Access01:34:28 Slater Self Awareness01:35:34 Rivalry And Book Sequel01:37:33 Kelly Reviews The Manuscript01:39:35 Press Tour And Career Choices01:43:04 Self Publishing Kooks Guide01:45:36 Virginia Is For Surfers01:51:04 What The Community Revealed01:57:05 Quitting Surfing For A Year02:03:33 Withdrawal Compulsion And Perspective02:08:40 Book Deal And Wrap UpBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

Tom Carroll doesn't just have 2 World Titles and 3 Pipe Masters — he's got one of the most honest comeback stories in surfing. In this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan sit down with the Aussie legend to talk about life after pro surfing, the pressure of being on top, and the dark chapter Tom has openly shared: drug addiction, recovery, and learning how to feel “love trying to get in” again. Tom breaks down how grief, trauma, and single-minded focus helped build a world champion… and how that same intensity can eventually turn on you.We also get into Mark Occhilupo, Kelly Slater, the 80s/90s era, training, meditation, foiling, Pipeline, North Shore stories, and why staying inspired by the next generation keeps him ripping at 64.If you love surf history, WSL legends, and real conversations about mental health, addiction, and redemption, this one hits deep (and still gets weird/funny, obviously).#TomCarroll #SurfingPodcast #PinchMySalt #SterlingSpencer #CousinRyan #Pipeline #PipeMasters #WorldChampion #AussieSurfer #WSL #KellySlater #MarkOcchilupo #SurfHistory #NorthShore #MentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #Sobriety #Meditation #SurfCulture #80sSurf #90sSurf #PowerSurfing #Foiling

AI transformation is accelerating, and for many organizations, the biggest risk isn't the technology itself; it's getting their strategic response wrong. Rush in without a framework, and you can destroy culture, trust, and capability. Hold back waiting for certainty, and more agile competitors will overtake you. Talent leaders are caught between these two failure modes with no clear playbook, and the pressure is intensifying by the week. So what does a disciplined, structured approach to navigating AI disruption actually look like in practice, and what role should talent and HR be playing? My guest this week is Jagrity Singh, a transformation leader who specializes in integrating AI-driven talent strategies with process excellence disciplines. In our conversation, she introduces a model for understanding where work sits between fully human and fully automated, and explains why the organizations that win will be those that learn to surf the wave rather than get crushed by it. In the interview, we discuss: Differences in AI approaches between Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The impact of AI on jobs and what approach employers should be taking AI is an HR problem, not an IT problem. Why CHROs need to orchestrate human and AI workforces Strategic workforce planning What should be automated and what shouldn't Advice to talent leaders What does the future look like?

We surf the higher power vibes today and we'll look at what creations have arrived and have been enjoyed and what's next on the horizon. Most of the time, success happens like a tiny blip and its over. Success is elusive, it's the ending and beginning all at once, and it feels weird. We surf these waves together in the high tides.

In this eye-opening episode, Dave and Stu explore how organizations lose their edge by mistaking agility for abandoning solid project management. They reveal the perilous consequences of sacrificing skills for surface-level agility and offer practical steps to regain control before chaos takes over. Discover why planning skills are collapsing, how to identify and fix skill gaps, and the critical role human skills play as return-to-office trends revive collaboration. Perfect for project managers and leaders, this episode is your blueprint for thriving amid chaos and complexity.

Enjoy a trip down memory lane while Sarah and Vinnie are off this week! Originally aired: April 2025

Episode 143: Surfing the Wobble Board: Eclipse Portals & Emotional Tsunamis If last week felt like a "mild emotional tsunami," you aren't alone. Between the Lunar New Year, a once-in-36-years Saturn/Neptune alignment, and the ongoing eclipse portal, the energy is heavy, weird, and deeply dysregulating. In this episode, we talk about why February 2026 is one of the roughest astrological stretches of the year—and no, it's not the Year of the Fire Horse yet! We are in a fated moment of transformation meant to upend us. The goal this week? Hunker down, stay in your body, and keep the "doing" to a bare minimum. This Week's Survival Strategy Get on the Mat: Aim for 2–4 sessions. With zero planets in Earth signs, physical movement is your only exit ramp from the anxiety spiral. Double Check Everything: Mercury stations Retrograde this week. Expect "Systems Down" energy—tech glitches, schedule snafus, and communication hiccups. Embrace the "Pillow Fort": Friday brings deep emotional healing and potential "owie" moments with Mars square Uranus. Soften your edges. Mentoring Lite: Applications are now open for this transformative 6-month support container. Only 33 spots available. Daily Energy Forecast Mo(o)nday, Feb 23: The "wonky" portal continues. Remember: we can't control the storm; we can only weather it. Wednesday, Feb 25: UWS Workout: Fluid Solutions. Focus on spiritual hygiene—don't let the muck get stuck in your field. Thursday, Feb 26: Mercury Stations Retrograde. The universe asks: "Were you listening during the shadow phase?" Practice discernment over perfection. Friday, Feb 27: The Deep Heal. North Node squares Chiron. Expect tears and core-wound processing. It's "Goddess Day"—soothe yourself with Aphrodite Tapping. Saturday, Feb 28: Full Moon Eclipse Energy begins. The dimmer switch turns up as we head toward the March 3rd Virgo Eclipse. Ground yourself now. Sunday, March 1: New Monthly Meditation. We activate the Higher Heart Chakra to balance the heavy transitions of Pisces season. Weekly Mantra "Now is the moment my full crystalline codes reconfigure. My boundaries strengthen. My clarity is loading. My protections are bolstered, repaired, and amped. All is moving towards better. I am growing into more."

A heartfelt tribute to Michel Portal, a rare artist equally at home in jazz and classical music, a prolific film composer, fearless improviser, and true multi-instrumentalist. Drawing on recordings made as leader, co-leader, and sideman, the episode traces a career that helped shape a distinctly European jazz voice—rooted in American traditions yet independent in spirit—while remaining open to global influences, cross-genre dialogue, and boundless sonic exploration. The playlist also features Nels Cline; Richard Galliano; Henri Texier; Emile Parisien; Vincent Peirani; and Miroslav Vitous.

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we welcome board industry vet, Jamie Meiselman to the show! We  trace his journey from cold-water surfing in Westfield, New Jersey and the DIY dawn of Northeast snowboarding to a lifetime of innovation across board sports. Jamie reflects on his early roots in skate, surf and competitive snowboarding, pioneering boot technology with Burton and Airwalk, and his years shaping the voice of the industry as Managing Editor of Transworld Snowboarding during its explosive growth in the early 90s. After earning an MBA at Columbia, he pursued an ambitious surf-focused wave pool project that ultimately collapsed, shaping his philosophy on risk, resilience, and iteration. In 2017, Jamie returned to his core passion and founded Solite, introducing the first heat-moldable surf bootie and building a lean, performance-driven brand now respected worldwide. This conversation explores obsession, reinvention, craftsmanship, wave pool evolution, and the mindset behind creating products that truly improve function — closing with reflections on shaping, favorite boards, and the perfect eternity wave.Follow Jamie's company Solite Boots on Instagram @solitebootsand you can check out the latest selection at https://soliteboots.com/The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Music: Artist: Sure SureSong: This Must be the PlaceAlbum: Sure Sure00:00 Welcome to the Swell Season Surf Podcast + Jamie Meiselman's Wild Resume04:18 Risk, Failure & the Brutal Early Wave Pool Dream (1999–2004)07:08 Franken-Boots, First Patents & Burton/K2 Innovation Stories10:47 The Obsession Advantage: How Jamie Thinks, Learns & Gets Distracted (AI Tools)13:21 Building a Lean Niche Brand: Solite's Focus, Marketing & Why Performance Wins19:02 Growing Up in NJ: Skateparks, Hamptons Summers & Learning to Surf23:32 Early Snowboarding DIY Era: Woodshop Boards, Ski-Shop Roots & Tinkering Mindset28:07 Solite Origin Story: From Seamless EVA Surf Gloves to Heat-Moldable Boots32:42 Staying Small on Purpose: Competitors, Core Values & Avoiding the ‘Next Nike' Trap35:46 Founder Reality Check: Freedom vs 7-Day Weeks, Support Systems & Family Balance41:58 Less Is More: Letting Kids Learn With Guardrails42:53 Balancing Marriage, Work, and Empty-Nester Life43:42 Surf vs Snowboard: Family Interests & Learning Curves46:17 Living Inland vs Beachside: Staying Hungry for Waves49:40 Dartmouth Days: Choosing Mountains, Quitting Lacrosse for Snowboarding52:03 Starting a Snowboard Club + Early Skiers vs Snowboarders Tension54:41 The ‘Urinal Meeting' That Launched a Transworld Writing Career57:09 Why Surfing Stays #1 (and Chasing Feel Over Progression)01:00:06 From Shaping Curiosity to DIY Boardbuilding as a Step-by-Step Process01:05:52 Boots, Concave Decks, and Performance-Enhancing Gear Ideas01:09:17 Inside Transworld's Boom: Ads, Trade Shows, and Snowboarding's Explosion01:13:30 From Airwalk to Burton: Boot Wars, Culture Shock, and the Wave-Pool Seed01:19:45 From Water Parks to Surf Pools: The Wave Pool Spark01:20:27 Prototyping the Dream: Trade Shows, Engineers & Early Wave Tech01:21:42 Business School as a Launchpad: Columbia, Seed Money & Raising Capital01:24:09 The Hard Part: Rejection, Anxiety, and Getting to the First Million01:26:20 The Fatal Flaw: Adjustable Bottom Contours and Why the Pool Kept Breaking01:28:11 When It Fell Apart: Boardroom Confidence, Bad Partners & Lessons Learned01:29:43 The Randall's Island “What If”: NYC Indoor Surfing That Never Happened01:32:18 Bouncing Back: Mindset After Failure and Building Smarter at Solight01:35:48 Solight's Growth Playbook: DTC vs Wholesale, Dealers, and Global Distribution01:40:17 Marketing Breakthrough: Pros in Cold Water and the Slater Boots Moment01:43:19 What's Next for Solight: New Products, Hats, and “No Me-Too Gear” Philosophy01:47:57 Surfer Questionnaire + The Perfect Eternal Wave (and Wave Pools Today)01:54:34 Closing Thoughts: The Future of Surfing, Wave Pool Communities & Sign-OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

Today, I am absolutely thrilled to welcome the wonderful Emily Waechtler to the podcast! Emily is a small business owner, a devoted wife of almost 27 years, and a mother to two daughters in their early twenties. She and her family live on the beautiful central coast of California, where they cherish their time together at the beach. Emily is a true ray of sunshine, and I'm so excited for you to hear her story, her hard-earned wisdom, and her incredibly positive perspective on navigating the concussion recovery journey.Episode Summary: In this heartfelt episode, Emily shares her experience of sustaining a concussion from a surfing accident nearly a year and a half ago. She opens up about the initial confusion surrounding her injury, the frustration of not getting clear answers from the medical system, and the daunting reality of a recovery that lasted far longer than the "couple of weeks" she was initially told to expect.Emily talks about the wide range of symptoms she faced, from physical challenges like dizziness and jaw pain to the overwhelming emotional and mental fatigue. She discusses the importance of finding the right help, which for her so far has included a chiropractor trained in cranial work, a physical therapist, and coaching with Bethany, and how she learned that recovery often takes a village of providers.Most importantly, Emily shares how she found hope and practical strategies through the Concussion Coach Podcast and one-on-one coaching. She dives deep into the lessons she's learned about pacing, the critical balance between rest and activity (like exercise and socializing), and the power of self-compassion. Emily's faith and her ability to find grace for herself through understanding her nervous system are central themes. This conversation is a beautiful, honest look at "in-process" healing and a powerful reminder that progress, no matter how small, is still progress.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Cognitive FX: Emily mentioned an article from Cognitive FX that her friend sent her immediately after the injury. It was an early resource that listed things not to do after a concussion. www.cognitivefxusa.comThe "Gage" or "Zone" System: Emily and Bethany discuss the immense value of having a common language (like using colors: green, yellow, red) to communicate energy levels and symptom triggers with loved ones. This system helps family and friends understand when to support you in resting or leaving a situation before a setback occurs. The "gage system" discussed in this episode was originally introduced in a previous podcast episode. Link to the "Gage System" Episode: [CLICK HERE]High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Emily highlights how incorporating sub-threshold, high-intensity interval training became a game-changer in her recovery, emphasizing that exercise is a crucial form of medicine for the brain.Connect with Emily Waechtler:Email: emily.bluecorduroy@gmail.comWebsite/Business: bluecorduroy.com (Check out her adorable sun hats!)Instagram: @emily_bluecorduroy (She loves connecting with people via DM!)Bethany Lewis & The Concussion Coach:Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Download at www.theconcussioncoach.comConcussion Coaching Program: For personalized mentorship in recovery.

Kai Lenny breaks down the real story behind his tension with Laird Hamilton — the miscommunication, the “never meet your heroes” moment, and how they eventually squashed it. In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we go deep on big-wave surfing, tow-in surfing, foiling, stand-up paddling, windsurfing, kiteboarding, and what it actually takes to survive places like Nazaré and Jaws (Peʻahi). Kai shares insane behind-the-scenes stories from the lineup, near-death wipeouts, the chaos between sets, and why the ocean rewards the people who “read the room.” We also hit surf culture, waterman mindset, Red Bull athlete life, sponsorship reality, and the funniest fuel secret ever: Taco Bell bean burritos. Plus: gym/swim drama, relationship “cycle” theory, and the kind of unhinged comedy you expect from the Pinchers. Subscribe for surf podcast clips, big wave stories, waterman talk, and comedy with Sterling & Cousin Ryan.In this episode:Kai vs Laird: what happened + how it got fixedBig-wave reality: towing, barrels, hold-downs, lineup dangerFoiling + alternative crafts + why surfing needs a “new game”Burritos as performance fuel #KaiLenny #LairdHamilton #SurfPodcast #BigWaveSurfing #Jaws #Nazare #Foiling #Waterman #StandUpPaddling #TowInSurfing #SurfCulture #RedBull #PinchMySalt
