Its Not The Length

Lockdown sure ain't easy, living out your days in a surf-less void of endless screen time... Let It's Not The Length bring a little levity to proceedings with Ep 15 - The Lockdown Special.

Paul and Ben chat all things Covid 19 and debate the red hot topics:

Would you surf if you knew you wouldn't see/infect anyone and knew you would get away with it?

Is there such a thing as a victim-less crime?

Is fish the bat soup of the sea?

What are the worst work out videos being perpetrated by pro surfers?

Your hosts consider a WSL-less world and wonder what some of surfing's foremost talents would do in the absence of a pro tour... would Medina go full Ronaldo (the Brazilian one). Would Julian Wilson open a joyless surf school? Would R Cal make a great, friendly local chartered accountant whose seemingly endless patience means he also does a lucrative sideline in conflict resolution. Why do all freesurfers fancy themselves as photographers, and why do their exhibits generally suck?

Stay safe folks

A brand new show from Wavelength Media, Wavelength Community Radio (WLCR) brings you interviews from some of the folk who help shape surfing and coastal communities.

It's Not The Length comes to you from the cliff overlooking 50-60ft surf at Nazaré, just after the WSL's Nazaré Tow Challenge.

Evans & Mondy, fresh from the live commentary booth and slightly rattled from seeing what looked a lot like Alex Botelho drowning on live broadcast, bring you a fresh debrief the key events and talking talking points from an historic day of big wave surfing.

With news that Alex is conscious and doing well in hospital, the pod reflects on an emotional day.

Hosts Evans & Mondy digest the dramatic fare served up on the final day of the WSL 2019 season at the Billabong Pipeline Masters.

Ua Mau ke Ea o ka 'Aina ika Pono!

Unlike the ancient Hawaiian ali'i (royalty), who viewed obesity as a sign of nobility and thus had their bellies massaged whilst being fed enormous portions of taro root(poi)so they could cram more in, the lads needed no extra help or encouragement to ruminate over 'Medina Prio-Gate 2 - This Time It's Personal... & Intentional', and all the other fascinating stuff that went down at the Banzai.

The North Shore remains the subject matter for the entirety of the pod, with the Seven Mile Miracle being the subject for regular fave Good / Bad. Evans & Mondy then delve into a series of personal anecdotes related to all things Hawaiian surfing, but mainly hone in on Island interactions with semi obscure late 90's-early 2000's surf pros.

Why did Tom Carroll leave the toilet unflushed at their shared digs on Mondy's first Hawaii trip?

What's the best thing not to say if you drop in on then rugby tackle Ken Bradshaw in 12-15ft surf?

How did AI take his tea when Mondy was billeted at the Bong house?

Why are the Pipemasters crowds so small?

Which women's World Champ dropped in Mondy at macking Sunset?

Which former CT surfer coined the nickname "Waimea Paul" as a mark of respect for Evans' heroics?

Find out all this and so much more in It's Not The Length Hawai'i Special!

Following the epic 2019 Euro leg, Evans & Mondy reflect on a autumn of dramatic Atlantic shred.

Fresh back from the Meo Rip Curl Pro Portugal and Nazaré ahead of the Tow Challenge, Paul brings the scoop on the big wave lords and ladies prepping for the 100ft wave. Meanwhile, after a few years away from Peniche, he discovers the burgeoning back yard party scene in Ferrol, discovers Portugal's one drinkable red wine, finds out what Paul McCartney has for XMas lunch... as well as finding just the right moment to tell Kelly Slater that he loves him.

Meanwhile, we discover that the WSL's 'official response' to Medina Prio-Gate, you know, the one that starts with "No resurf." was in fact written by Mondy. Surely his most-read piece of prose in a long and glittering career as a wordsmith.

Evans & Mondy's surf chat is so potent that even the watery isolation of the Mid Atlantic ridge isn't enough to stop it from reaching every corner of the shredosphere!

Yes, the boys are back in the beautiful Azores Islands and back on the tools.

Episode 8 brings you a debrief on the ISA World Games in Japan, real time updates from Paul's Guinness World Record attempt (most days commentated for WSL in a calendar month)and an exclusive behind the scenes look at the wozzle's Longboard tour.

Elsewhere, Sacred Cows returns with the nomination of log lord Joel Tudor for consideration. Will he be put out to toot on the green green grass of the pasture, or be sent to the abattoir to receive the dreaded mercy lever?

Find out!

Meanwhile, with mental health issues thankfully becoming more and more talked about in the surf and other communities where traditionally, men were reluctant to talk about their feelings, Ben catches up with former WCT surf Toby Martin about a recent initiative Down Under where surfer like Murdz, Garth Dicko and Kurt Nyholm spread the word about dealing with mental health issues and particularly, suicide prevention.
