We hosted one of Lucas’ inspired art camps, inviting a host of local art-smiths to put brush to canvas to beautiful effect. All topped off nicely with a bit of a knees up, a glass of savvy b and some pétanque - a big thanks to all who came by and revelled in the art and counter culture with us. Send us a text…

This next episode comes from the vault - recorded a couple of months back as I caught up with the fascinating, multifaceted, Charles Post. Charles is a Ecologist, Filmmaker, Explorer and lifelong surfer based out of Montana in the US. I’ve had some great back and forth with Charles over the years, more often than not surf related or simply shared interest in one anothers work and I’d had him pencilled in to join us on the show since day one. Knowing the breadth and variety of Charles work, it was extremely easy to go off on a tangent or quite literally down a rabbit hole, and we spent the first 20 minutes speaking solely about eagles, wolves and roaming elk. Skipping ahead, we discussed about everything from 30x30 biodiversity initiatives, growing up surfing in California, hiking in nature with NFL running backs and inner city kids, to decomposing seal heads and sparking curiosity for conservation early on.

For episode 3 of Hell or High Water were joined by Pippa Ehrlich. Pippa is a conservation journalist, a filmmaker and Director of the hit Netflix Documentary, My Octopus Teacher. For those not familiar, the film documents the incredible and most unlikely relationship between naturalist, Craig Foster and a curious young Octopus found in the Kelp Forests near Cape Town, South Africa. Following this inter-species connection over the course of a year, the film showcases one of the most profound underwater experiences and has been labelled as ’the love story that we all need right now”. It is a stunning piece of film that speaks on the fragility of life and humanities connection with nature. Pippa is also a team member of the Sea Change Project - a collective of scientists, storytellers, journalists and filmmakers - dedicated to exploring and documenting The Great African Sea Forest. Their mission is one of 'nature storytelling’ - and that if you want to inspire behavioural change and a deeper understanding of nature, you need to speak to people from an emotional point of view.

For Episode 1 of HELL OR HIGH WATER we welcomed Finisterre Ambassador, Easkey Britton to the show. Irish surfing champion and pioneering big wave surfer, social scientist and artist; from Ireland to Iran, many here will be familiar with Easkey’s journey through surf. Exploring and promoting equality and inclusivity through surfing and the power of water, Easkey continues to amaze us here at Finisterre in her steadfast determination and her ability to carry several projects at once. For this episode we chose to focus on what has been most recently occupying Easkey’s time with her work in academia and the subject of the Blue Spaces. From Blue Mind theories to Blue Care services and the importance of human connection to the ocean environment and nature in general. As we find ourselves at a critical junction for the future of our planet, where our responsibility to connect and care for our natural world is coming down to the wire, Easkey stands out as a figure for change as she forges a unique path for herself with an rare ability to connect people from all walks of life the world over.

Next up in our Californian Omnibus we met with Christian Beamish – Surfer, Shaper, Sailor and Writer, Christian is somewhat of an underground yet widely known stalwart of the surfing world. Calling the likes of the Malloy brothers, Greg Long and others close friends. A lifelong devotee of surf, frequenting waves from Ireland to France and the Philippines plus countless others off the beaten track accessible to him whilst serving in the U.S. Navy – Christian has quietly dedicated his life to the sea. More thoroughly accounted for was his solo sail from San Diego down through Baja in his self-constructed boat, beautifully retold in ‘Voyage of the Cormorant – memoir of a changeable sea’. A line of sight crossing and self-reliant exploration for surf – one that saw him sleeping under canvas tarp whist anchored up to the kelp beds, surfing and fishing in pristine ocean with no one around and lentil and coffee rations as he lived by the weather systems in an 18foot open boat. The book not just about the sailing and the people he met along the way but a wonderful account of an inner and outer journey. There are few people able to write about surf in a way that speaks to a wider audience, William Finnegan always comes to mind, but Christian is certainly another. Something that no doubt comes through years of experience as associate editor of the revered Surfers Journal. In sitting down, we spoke about stoking the fire for adventure, night surfing and deep-water surf, board shaping and boat building and went off on a few other tangents you’ll come to hear. Ill add, we were sat in the showroom behind Christians shaping bay so you will hear some background chatter and a cameo from Chrstians daughter halfway through… So here we go, Episode 18 of Hell or High Water with Christian Beamish – Boats, Boards and Baja.

1:06:56

Welcome back… thanks for tuning in as we find ourselves in steady flow of new episodes. Thinking on this next one in our California omnibus, it would be fair to say that in a time where just about every outrageous human endeavor or era defining accomplishment has been done - one where you need to climb not one but 14 peaks to get into the record books, it becomes rarer and rarer that first ascents or descents, circumnavigations or pole to pole expeditions are celebrated. Our guest for episode 17 is one of those rare people. In this instance, a first descent of a moving mountain from 20+ years ago, but arguably more relevant now than ever. Sarah Gerhardt was the first woman to surf the wave Mavericks in California’s Half Moon Bay. A wave described as a ‘flat out kick ass wave that will pulverise you if you’re not on your toes”. A wave that has launched the careers of surfers, photographers and many others, giving some the rides of their lives, but also a wave that has taken lives, remembering the great Mark Foo. A wave that for 15 years was ridden alone by one man, Jeff Clarke before it was discovered by the big wave surfing community. It was Sarah Gerhardt however who braved these cold, dark, sharky waters dominated by a cold, unwelcoming crowd to paddle herself into the history books. What followed was instant fame and recognition but also instant backlash from the surfing community itself. From all appearances though Sarah took it in her stride, focusing on what was important and surrounding herself with a tight knit crew of peers - paddling against the flow when others wouldn’t. We spoke on the madness of overnight acclaim to earning your stripes and navigating a male dominated line up. The intersection of science and sport and the journey of equity in women’s big wave surfing. So here we go, Episode 17 of Hell or High Water with Sarah Gerhardt – Mavericks Maverick Send us a text…

For Episode 2 of this California Mini Series - we sat down with Nik Strong-Cvetich, CEO of Save The Waves Coalition. Founded in 2003, its Mission Objective is to protect surfing ecosystems around the world - where surfing provides a vehicle for long-term coastal conservation. One way in which they do this is by instating some of the beautiful, accessible and often under-threat areas of our coastlines as World Surfing Reserves - Areas recognised as having key environmental, cultural and economic attributes to costal communities. To date there are 12 recognised World Surfing Reserves around the globe, most recently North Devon having been announced as the 12th thanks to the work of local surfers, businesses and organisations like STW. As we sit down with many experts and people of this persuasion on the show, its becomes more apparent the type of character and grit required to tackle the countless obstacles and curves balls that are rife in this line of work. Nik Strong-Cvetich - Strong by name, Strong by nature appears to take this all in his stride. A dogged determination and a steely disposition, Nik and his team are currently firing on all cylinders as the ocean space and coastal ecosystem holds the worlds attention more than ever before. Nik is a passionate surfer himself, go figure, and a true Santa Cruz local - he is also a family man and without speaking for him, it’s clear that he is motivated to do the work he does to protect and preserve the beautifully raw and rugged home coastland for his children's future too.

Throughout the year, OPEN hosts world-class surfer-shapers residencies, giving everyday surfers an opportunity to own a hand shaped surfboard from some of the most respected names in the industry - including to date Simon Anderson, Neil Purchase Jr, Josh Keough, and our very special guest today, Beau Young! Surfer, shaper, musician and 2x world long-board champion. Beau’s surfing is as stylish today as it was back on his world title runs, something that likely results from knowing his equipment inside out, hand shaped by himself - a process we touch on a few times. We spoke about all the things you’d expect from a conversation with a surfing world champ - the fire for competition, the purity of surfing itself, the art of hand shaping and an ever-evolving love affair with the sea. Safe to say we couldn’t have this conversation without mentioning Beau’s father, Australian Nat Young, 5x world surfing champion and a name synonymous with surfing worldwide, primarily because he, along with a few others ushered in the new era of surf and the shortboard revolution in the mid-1960’s.

This week for episode 7 of the show we have a slightly different set up to celebrate the launch of our latest collaboration with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution aka. The RNLI. Born from a shared love and respect for the sea, our collaboration with the RNLI draws inspiration from British seafaring heritage and the hardiness of the human spirit, with 10% of every sale from the collection going to support the vital work of the charity that saves lives at sea. Together we believe that with passion and courage, ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Our collaboration with the RNLI celebrates the fortitude of those volunteer crews who brave the ocean’s unfathomable power to keep their communities safe. As such, we caught up with 4 volunteer lifeboat crew members from stations around the UK to hear their stories. Send us a text…

Over the past decade, their evidence-based surf therapy programme has provided youth with the opportunity to have vital experiences in the sea.
