In today's show, we have a very special guest - none other than Smelly @picklestix_, the surfboard shaper and the talented drummer of the renowned band NOFX.

Join us as we explore the fascinating world of a multi-talented artist who has spent over 40 years rocking stages across the globe. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Smelly opens up about NOFX's decision to retire from touring, and the feelings that come with bidding farewell to a lifelong passion.

In this candid conversation, Erik, affectionately known as Smelly, shares his bittersweet thoughts on leaving the touring life behind. As a seasoned musician, performing in front of ten thousand-plus people has always been an adrenaline-fueled experience, comparable to the thrill of catching that perfect wave during an epic surf session.

With the touring chapter coming to a close, Erik embraces the exciting new opportunities that await him. As he looks forward to dedicating more time to his passion for surfboard shaping, he sheds light on his ever-growing Picklestix brand. Discover how this transition allows him to channel his creativity into crafting exceptional surfboards that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on the surfing community.

Erik recounts the cherished memories of his final tour in Australia, where he had the privilege of shaping boards for the locals. He takes us on a journey through the joy and fulfillment he experienced, creating customized boards for the Australians.

Join us as we explore the parallels between a heart-pounding live performance and an exhilarating surf session. Erik beautifully articulates the profound rush one feels when riding the perfect wave or when the music seamlessly syncs with the crowd's energy during a concert.
