It's been circled for a long time, but the calendars have now turned over to the month of November... and the biggest few weeks of racing the sport has ever seen are now underway!

Sam & Macca are back to breakdown Australia's 20 Beaches Ocean Classic, plus take a look at the Pete Marlin in South Africa.

There's also a quick chat with an Olympic legend, and plenty of banter along the way.
