We give it a 9 outta 10!!! Amazing service with waves to match!!

Our guest this week is a Surf industry pioneer who has spent more than five decades helping shape the sport and protecting the places we ride!
With roots in Long Beach, New York, he led his first successful fight for Surf beach access in 1970. After graduating from Fordham University, he headed to Sunset Beach, Hawai‘i, before landing a job at Surfing magazine, launching a nearly 30-year career, much of it as publisher.
He helped launch SIMA, supported Surfing’s journey into the Olympics through his work with the ISA, and earned a place in the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame. His dedication to protecting our coast also earned him Surfrider’s Wavemaker Award for his contributions to the successful Save Trestles campaign.
From Surf media and industry leadership to beach access and ocean conservation, this guy has given a whole lot back to Surfing, and we can’t wait to hear his stories!
We are pumped to welcome the one and only Bob “FILET” Mignogna to the show!

We also had the fortune of having another great Surfer, journalist, author, and former Pro-Surfer. 
He won Australian National Surfing Titles in 1979 and 1981 (and was runner-up in 1977).
He is also a founding member of the Newport Plus Surf Club (later Newport Boardriders) on Sydney's northern beaches alongside his brother Tom.
He was the editor of the iconic Australian Surf Magazine, Tracks. Later he became Editor-in-Chief for Surfing Magazine.
He is still in the media scene and has a podcast with Hannah Anderson,  “We Shouldn't Be Friends”.
We welcome to the show Nick “WOGS” Carroll.

We sit down with the amazing surfer, shaper, & craftsman Tim Stamps.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our guest this week is a shredder and a craftsman.  He spent 10 years at Newport Surf N Sport, working his way up from a grom to running the store. His creative journey took off at 7Diamonds, where he worked as a graphic artist and designer, handling everything from catalog layouts to curating photo shoots, and even managing the design team.
He later became the head boardshort designer at O’Neill, bringing his vision and passion to one of the industry’s most iconic brands. But his creativity didn’t stop there. With a deep love for surfboards and a strong design background, he naturally evolved into a talented shaper, crafting custom boards under his own label, The Kraft Surfboards.
We’re stoked to welcome to the show, Lorin “Ely” McGregor!
