Racing is back! But Macca is not. So Sam has wrangled in Australian sprint king Mitchell Trim to chat through the latest in the surfski world.

The boys struggle to comprehend the downwind record smashed by Cape Town's Dale Robinson, discuss the cancellation of the Molokai Challenge and give their first-hand insights into the Bridge to Beach, won by Tom Norton and Danielle McKenzie.

Sam then dives into Trimmy's paddling journey, hearing how he's used ocean skis in training to help become one of the most successful spec ski paddlers the sport has seen.
