Marti Para is a local Tassie Surfer, world renowned slab charger, author and all round good bloke!

Today we chat about Marti's early life in Tassie and a few key moments that shaped him into the man he is today. Then we dive into his new book which is EPIC! Hands down the best adventure/ ocean book we have EVER read! Find it here ⁠⁠https://whentheoceanawakens.com/⁠⁠ before the first limited print sells out!

Of course we also had to chat to Marti about Shipsterns Bluff and the pioneering of Pedra Branca! It was an awesome chat and was an honour to have Marti on!

Note: We did have a few audio issues in our first recording, so this is two chats spliced together.

The Tassie Boys are Built Different!

We're looking forward to hearing a few more epic tales in the future!

Andrew Lester is one of the best riders to ever jump on a bodyboard, and today he walks us through some of that die hard obsession that saw him reach the peak of bodyboarding at its Pinnacle time of existence!

Calling the Sutherland Shire home, Lester was never far from the beach and his local slabs. Honing his craft religiously, he was a permanent face in the lineup - 2 foot or 10!

He has tackled waves all over the world, yet his favourite break is right at his backdoor and that is Cronulla's infamous Shark Island!

Today he talks us through how he broke into the heavy lineup as a young bloke and a few great comps he was in, including the insane 2001 Shark Island Challenge and the most recent 2024 Challenge in which he took 2nd with his young family looking on!

It was great to have Andy on and hear the froth in his voice when talking Bodyboarding!

We're looking forward to hearing a few more epic tales in the future!

Matt Davies is a wild big wave Foilboarder who calls the Northern Beaches of Sydney home.

He has some lofty goals, with the biggest one being that he wants to ride the biggest wave EVER on a foilboard, and he is well on the way to achieving it!

Not only does he charge all incoming swells that hit Sydney, slabs and deep water, but also goes it international, taking on the biggest of the big at Nazare. Just to make things more extreme, Matt rides test boards for AXIS foils on these GIANT waves!

Matt is also part the way through a documentary that chronicles his path of getting sober, chasing the biggest waves in the world and getting the speed record for flat water Foilboarding. If you haven't seen any of Matt's stuff make sure you check him out on instagram here and follow him on his path to Foiling the biggest wave ever ridden.
