  • Cooly Hand Luke with Luke Manning
    Sep 17 2024
    Luke Manning has been a resident of the Queensland/New South Wales borderlands since his early 20s. His daily labors involve all types of home remodeling projects, mostly high-end residences. His water displacement power surfing dates him to the 80s of Gary “Kong” Elkerton, and when you meet him, you feel like you’re meeting an action movie star. The humility, charisma, and humor can’t possibly come from one individual, but it does. It’s pure luck he agreed to let us turn the microphone on and hear his story. Enjoy.

  • Good Morning with Rusty Miller
    Sep 1 2024
    Rusty Miller's early, regular foot surfing had competitive roots with Duke finals in '67 and '68, but quickly went brand ambassador with a national Hamm's Beer billboard ad, bombing down a sunset monster. Earning a history degree and traveling the world landed him in Australia and Indonesia, firmly indoctrinated into surf cinema canon with a featured presence in Morning of the Earth at Uluwatu, by Alby Falzon. Teaching surfing in Byron Bay and hanging with his wife, Tricia (alumni of Surf Stories Podcast), and his two daughters' families, is his latest masterpiece. Enjoy this chat with Rusty.

  • The Hat Game with Bill Conner
    Aug 14 2024
    Alabaman and Floridian, Bill Conner, started his career making leather sandals on the gold coast of Australia in the early 70s. At some point, he pivoted to hats. "Why make hats instead of sandals? Because you only have to make one." Paul Hogan supercharged demand for his craftsmanship unintentionally, or at least the costume designer on Crocodile Dundee did, when the movie came out. European demand surged when Matt Nicholson repped his skills to Herod's and Galleries Lafayette. He retired after 50 years, surfing Broken Head, wearing his white helmet (not a BC model). At times early on, he surfed from Byron to Burleigh by himself for years, ahead of the crowd. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
