The Australian influence on American surfing, personified by the soul-arching Peter "PT" Townend, continues... PT talks early Florida competitions, Teahupo'o's Olympics, Big Wednesday, and his strategy for Timmy Turner's Second Thoughts. He's releasing a book soon to feature his ten favorite surf photos, full of stories and essays. The impact PT has had on the general stoke level of our culture, young and old, is truly immeasurable. He brings it, fully, in this podcast. We can't wait to have him out to the festival for a screening of Big Wednesday someday soon. Enjoy.
