Ep 6: Grant Williams (Surfing With Grant) - Surf Coaching Series (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grant Williams (@surfingwithgrant) is a surf coach, retreat host and one of the most relatable surf content creators going around. In this episode we break down the real progression path from beginner to advanced — why almost everyone drops to a smaller board too early, the one paddling "cheat code" that fixes half your surfing, and how to actually manage fear when the waves get bigger. Grant also opens up on the early, cringe-worthy days of building an audience and why he stopped caring what th

Steve has spent 37+ years across fire and rescue and NSW State Emergency Service, and now leads an organisation of 76,000+ volunteers and members. He breaks down exactly how the drone program works, what triggers a beach closure, and the surprising side of this technology that's already saved fo
Why Shark Attacks Are Spiking in Sydney — Dr Mcphee Marine Biologist Explains (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sydney just had one of its worst years on record for fatal shark bites. Marine biologist Dr Daryl McPhee joins the show to unpack what's really driving it — and what actually works to stop it. We cover: the real long-term bite trend data since 1980, why bull sharks spike after 45mm of rain, why white sharks follow baitfish schools, whether shark nets and culling actually reduce bites, how smart drum lines differ from traditional ones, and which personal shark deterrents (Shark Shield, shark band
