It's a bumper episode this week, delving into all the news we've missed in recent times.We start by catching up on the end of the Challenger Series, talking through each of the qualifiers for the 2025 CT, before delving into a Lazer Breathing Dragons tangent, which leads straight into the ISA World Masters, for which we talk to two of the three Australian women on their team, the 1993 and 1995 ASP Rookies of the Year, Kim Wooldridge and Serena Brooke, before giving a quick preview of the upco...
In a surprise to no-one, we have dedicated this entire episode to the incredible feat that our co-host has accomplished in winning her second World Title. Having recently interviewed Rach after her US Open win, Shan approached this one differently, taking a holistic look at Rach's career. The two talk through her first World Title and the many changes the Longboard Tour has gone through in the period of time since she claimed that in 2015. They also go deep into process, strategy and the diff...

Another season is now officially in the books and, at 18-years-old, Caity Simmers is your new World Champion.As predicted by Rach and Shan last episode, an initial loss to defending World Champion Caroline Marks fired Caity up. Fueled by support from her crew of sand children, she delivered some of the best surfing of the year and put a solid stamp on an incredible season.This episode we talk through everything that happened as the World Champions were crowned on the cobblestones of Trestles ...
We're nothing if not wildly inconsistent. No episodes for two months and then two in a week? Welcome to the show.With an extremely quick turnaround from Fiji into the Finals, and with the only real swell of the Finals waiting period expected on day one, we've hustled to make sure Fiji gets its due and that our Finals picks are in just in time for them to probably be wrong. We are also joined by Erin Brooks, the 17-year-old wildcard who claimed victory in her very first CT appearance, to talk ...
This episode our co-hosts are front and center after a major return to the top of the podium for Rach and a big second Olympic Games opportunity for Shan. With the two events happening almost simultaneously, we figured the best plan was for them to interview each other about their experiences, covering all the rest of the action in each event along the way. We also finish with some discussion around Shan's recent post and announcement.*We recorded this episode while the Fiji Pro was still hap...

The Western Australia Margaret River Pro is always a captivating event, with all kinds of variables thrown at surfers in the wild west, especially now with the dreaded Mid-Season Cut. This year's epic Finals Day almost washed away the many short and strange days that led up to it, with a forecast that provided stunning lay days, but only small pockets of 'contestable' surf. All of that provided our favorite moment of the year so far however, with an incredible maiden CT win for Gabriela Bryan...

This week we discuss the topic on everyone’s lips - the departure of Carissa Moore and Stephanie Gilmore from the 2024 CT season.

A lot of things have happened in women's surfing over the course of the past three months and Shannon and Rachael have covered absolutely none of it.
