The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast

This week we're reading "The Surfer" by Australian poet and environmental activist Judith Wright.

In this episode, we take a realistic look at surfing Biarritz: its history, famous breaks, extreme tide sensitivity, and why it can feel welcoming and overwhelming at the same time. A practical guide to crowds, conditions, and who Biarritz really works for.

In this Hey Zuz, I'm Confused episode, we talk about weight gain, motivation, stress, and why losing the desire to surf isn't about vanity—or failure. Just an honest look at how life, bodies, and surfing intersect, and why this kind of surf funk doesn't have to be permanent.

In this surf news roundup, we talk about a surf therapy charity supporting a record number of young people, a startup betting on 3D-printed surfboards, a sharp essay asking whether surfing is actually progressing at all, and the latest blow in Munich's long-running battle to save its iconic river wave.   

In this episode, we break down the board, the man behind it, and how Bob Simmons quietly shaped modern surfboard design. And why no one really liked him.
