Today’s guest Andy Lyon is the Malibu realtor and First Point surfer of fifty years who achieved a considerable notoriety recently when he threw a rock into another man’s surfboard following an entanglement, the video of the event going viral. He lost his job, had his address published and a beat down was suggested his four year old kid Glider. Lyo…

Mel, who is fifty-three, no longer has the foaming jaws of a meth addict. Today he is the sort of man who loves his children with a passion, his parents with respect, his wife with generosity and his friends with loyalty. He wears slightly too big flannel shirts and pants with stone washing applied at the factory. On January 8 last year, Pete rode …

This episode of Dirty Water hits a high-water mark as Ben Mondy peels layers from "the best surfer in his generation never to win a world title" Julian Wilson. Many revelations, including Julian's arrest as a teen, the day he stared death in the face, not just his own, but Bruce Irons', Nathan Fletcher's and Maya Gaberia's, how he was forced to bec…

Today’s guest on Dirty Water brought a brutal, but beautiful, savagery to professional surfing. His fav tee featured a skull and the slogan Kill Em All God Will Sort Em Out and he was the star of the Quiksilver ad If You Can’t Rock and Roll Don’t Fucken Come. He’s a three-time runner up to the world title, two of ‘em in excruciatingly controversial…

Rarely do I get as much pleasure as when the telephone connects to the 1988 world champion Barton Lynch, who cinched his title at perfect eight-to-twelve-foot Pipeline but is now more famous for his oratorical gymkhanas on WSL broadcasts. A few days ago, BeachGrit outed Barton as a filthy communist bastard, which you can read here, and which was sw…

A thrill, this episode, to feature the Australian goofyfooter and shaper Peter McCabe, one of the pioneers of surfing in Indonesia, including G-Land with his yoga queen pal Gez Lopez. McCabe also talks about the drug-running episode, moving a keg of pure Bolivian ether-washed coke that led to his imprisonment on a Pacific Island for a year and a ha…

The last time we saw Adam “Vaughan Dead” Blakey, director of hit surf film, one half of the long-running Ain’t That Swell podcast and frontman of the Goons of Doom, he was at last year’s Newcastle contest squawking ecstatically, as if he wanted to seize Ryan Callinan in his arms and pull him down between his thighs. When his hind legs aren’t quiver…

One month ago, a little-known surfer from North Carolina shattered the 100-foot wave barrier at Portugal's Nazaré. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mason Hyce Barnes (@masonhycebarnes) In this episode of Dirty Water, Mason reveals to BeachGrit's Ben Mondy what it's like to be dragged into a wave that would be measured at 126.5 feet.…

If you were in Sydney at the end of March, y’would’ve thrown yourself into the dreamiest of four-to-six-foot barrels, pretty wedges wiped smooth by an all-day north-west wind. Day of the year at most places, one of the best days ever at my local etc. At Cronulla, home to some of the city’s finest reefs including but not limited to Voodoo and Shark …

Dirty Water #50 with David Rensin, the celebrated author of Miki Dora biography, All For a Few Perfect Waves.

Dirty Water, episode forty nine, and today’s guest is described by BeachGrit writer Steve Rees, as the “most famous surf shop owner in the world” and “Part animal―Part machine―Part idiot.” While other surf shop owners obsequiously lick the boots of the clothing majors, for this is where the cash is, he sticks to his Buell wetsuits and custom boards…
