This week on the Ball and All Podcast we welcome Bede Durbidge - about as rock solid and as down to earth as they come.  This bloke does not get the plaudits he deserves when you look back on a career that included 13 years on the WCT, Pipe Masters and Vans Triple Crown victories to go with a 2nd placing overall to Kelly Slater in 2008.   Whilst his ride from the sleepy  island paradise of Nth Straddie to the top of World Surfing is remarkable enough, the injury he suffered at Pipeline back in 2015 and the subsequent road to recovery will leave you gobsmacked at the sheer guts and determination of the man his mates call 'The White Fijian'.  

Also on the podcast this week, we look back on the takeaways from our chat with Gold Coast Titans Captain Jamal Fogarty, we go 'Around the Grounds' and get the latest happenings in the world of sport including Tom Brady's incredible 7th Super Bowl Ring and we pay our respects to Australian Rugby League legend and a man who had a huge impact on the local area - Ken McCaffery who unfortunately passed away during the week.
