Welcome to The Still Point Tapes: Echoes from the Lineup, a podcast that brings you the voices of surfing’s pioneers, recorded nearly two decades ago for the documentary The Still Point.

These are unfiltered, intimate conversations with the watermen and women who shaped surf culture, their philosophies, their passions, and their reflections on the ocean as a living force.

In this first episode, we hear from Ricky Grigg, a pioneer big-wave surfer, scientist, and explorer, whose deep connection to the sea went far beyond the surfboard.

He speaks about risk, rhythm, and the mysteries of the ocean with rare insight.
