The Toronto surfer who took up surfing at 62
11/03/2026 | 4 mins.
Kim is a 66-year-old surfer from Toronto who decided to seriously pursue surfing at 62. In this episode, this is KIm's story about learning later in life, navigating fear in the water, chasing tiny green waves from Lake Ontario to Costa Rica, and why surfing—even once a year—has completely captured her imagination.

10/03/2026 | 4 mins.
Before surfboards, there was bodysurfing—riding waves using nothing but your body as the planing surface. In this episode we explore what many Hawaiian watermen consider the purest form of wave riding, one that even Duke Kahanamoku reportedly preferred to board surfing.
Swell vs surf weight—explained once and for all
09/03/2026 | 4 mins.
In this episode we tackle one of the most confusing things in surfing forecasts: the difference between swell height and surf height. These two numbers get mixed up all the time—even though they're measured in completely different places. We explain what swell height actually represents out in the open ocean, how waves transform as they approach the coastline, and why the number you see in your surf forecasting app doesn't always match what's breaking at your local beach.

08/03/2026 | 4 mins.
This week's Sunday Surf Poem is "In the Surf" by Australian poet, Agnes L. Storrie. Agness was a bit obsessed with the Wattle Day.

07/03/2026 | 4 mins.
Why do surfers get brain freeze in cold water? In this episode, we talk about the infamous "ice cream headache" that can hit during winter surf sessions. Why it happens, why it feels like your forehead is splitting open, and why cold-water surfers keep paddling out anyway.
