Today’s guest is the iconoclastic Aussie filmmaker Kai Neville, who you may not know, hails from South Australia originally. He spent his early years down there where he was raised by a passionate surfer of a dad, who tragically lost his leg in a car crash on his way home from a surf trip east of Adelaide. It didn’t stop him though, the hellman that he is, eventually moving the family to the Sunny Coast so he could longboard the more forgiving point breaks of the Noosa region. And this is where Kai’s surfing journey really gets going - a journey that has produced a handful of the greatest surf films of the modern era.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Julian Wilson joins us following his insane Gold Coast Pro performance to break down the result, explain his furious Filipe spray, and what it was like to be the man of the moment in one of surfing's great spectacles. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
