This week on the Ball and All Podcast, we welcome a legend of Australian surfing and an absolute pioneer for women's sport - Jodie Cooper.   A late comer to the sport at the age of 16 Jodie would go on to win 13 CT events, finish No.2 in the world and go down as one of the greatest big wave chargers we've ever produced. 

Yet the real story is behind scenes - gender & pay inequality, her own sexuality, legendary Hawaiian enforcers, a horrifying surf rage incident, a shark attack, billing in the critically acclaimed 'Girl's Can't Surf' and a side gig as a stunt double alongside Keanu Reeves. 

Also on the podcast this week, we recap Woody's guest appearance alongside Lennox Head legend Chris 'Brocky' Brock on last Friday's Swellian Podcast in Byron Bay and we go 'Around the Grounds' and discuss our thoughts on the upcoming State of Origin series, the new NRL rules and how age is not the barrier it once was as we discuss Phil Mickelson most recent major victory.
