Former CT power heathen turned Kung-Fu World Title Winning Surf Coach Tom Whittaker sits down with Deadly and Ronnie to discuss who has designs on ruining finals day dreams, who's sucking on the Goat teat for a bit of that sweet Fijian milk, and what's the vibes like compared to other Woz  Finals Days. We also have an interview with Mayhem's Matt Biolis who has 5 surfers in the running to win the crowns! Unfortunately Deadly is a moron and recorded the interview during the loudest lunchtime in living memory. Give it a crack though cause Biolis rules. BLAM!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Super coach Matt Bemrose has played mentor and spirit animal to the Vortex Shaman Jack Robbo and World No.1 Yago Dora since they first qualified for the tour - and now both men may very likely meet in a battle royale for surfing's greatest crown. So what can he teach us about both men and how will their friendship affect a possible World Title face-off? A very pissed Vaughan Deady investigates...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Owen Milne had the best seat in the house during the recent Code Red swell at Teahupoo, and he nearly paid for it with his life. He gives us the best rundown yet of what it was like to be staring mutant slabs in the eyeball from close quarters. Spoiler alert: it was absolute mayhem. Wipeouts, jet ski near misses, paddling and tow surfing clinics, and Doug Silva getting sucked up the guts of a catamaran and nearly turned into mince meat by twin propellers. Owen's raw account of the swell is one of the better depictions of what goes down at Teahupoo when it's 20+ foot and maxing. You can watch it here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
