Episode 71: Rachael Tilly is Your New World Longboard Champion!
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 different emotions the new Finals format is drawing out of competitive surfers.If you're a regular listener, you've heard these two talk. A lot. But never before like this.Chapters00:00 - Intro09:04 - Rachael Tilly InterviewInfoMusic: Dry Grass, courtesy of Body TypeContact: [email protected]: @the.double.upWeb: www.womensurf.net

Episode 68: WSL Finals Preview and Fiji Pro Breakdown, incl. Interview with Erin Brooks
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 through that big first win and also get her thoughts on who might win the 2024 World Title.Chapters00:00 - Intro08:23 - Corona Fiji Pro Recap25:37 - Erin Brooks Interview38:38 - WSL Finals PreviewInfoMusic: Dry Grass, courtesy of Body TypeContact: [email protected]: @the.double.upWeb: www.womensurf.net
