In this episode we welcome James Wood (Woody) into the studio. A friend of ours who has seen everything in the world of surfing. After winning two World Junior Titles and venturing out onto the QS, James was unable to kick on and qualify for the tour. Instead he carved out his own pathway as a gun shaper and an elite level surf coach to the likes of Mikey McDonagh and Connor O'leary. This episode covers James' surfing career, his thoughts on the current state of surfing + we also pick his brains on board design and next years WSL world tour. #surfing #podcast #wsl #surfer #surf
