Love they’re having the conversation about regulating line ups. This is such a important part of surfing. Too many people just coming out of nowhere with no order creates chaos. Great episode fellas! Keep it up
Locals also need to understand the balance. You can’t just expect every set wave because you live near the wave. People can only be cut in front of in the line before they snap. Hawaiian locals get away with it because they have a gang on the beach to back them up at all times. Anyone else tries this nonsense too many times and they’ll either be met in the car park or come back to slashed tires.
The best part of the interview with John was when he absolutely just zoned out, it was like he left the room and went into another dimension for a little while. 😂
I’m currently in a pretty low point in my life, but this podcast and the way you two interact with each other never fails to bring a smile to my face. Keep up the good work!
Much gratitude to you guys for your insightful thoughts, wisdom/knowledge and funny stories! Can't get on the podcast apps because of my Deafness, so I am grateful to you guys for enabling the closed caption option on this YT channel!
Love the podcast. New mics are sick!! One other thing you might consider. Matching the white balance on the two cameras. This will help them have the same color temperature so its less jarring when you cut between the two cams. Its super easy to do, I recommend setting them both to 5600 but see what looks best and set them the same. Cheers.
Great Sound and real talk...it is so good to hear the real talk without the fake acting that a lot of surfing has taken on! I am 56 yrs. old and love listening to a mixture of truth, laughs, and realness from the heart👍🤙
You guys remind me why I chose to surf Gas Chambers and Eukai most of the time so I didn't have to deal with the crowds and the hierarchy. Pipe is incredible, but not dealing with the crowd is even better for me at least.
Koa and Nathan are masters at their art - big wave surfers. One thing I can kind of relate to is growing up on the South Shore of Oahu in the early-mid 70's. My dad and brothers started with tankers (longboards), and my first time surfing was at Baby Queens with my dad pushing me onto a small wave (ripple?) on a tanker when I was about 9 years old. I was lucky enough to start surfing with short boards - with one fin - in fact we called it a skeg - only kooks would refer to it as a fin. Also, I started before cords - when they first came out we called it a kook cord and most refrained from using it for different reason (one believing the board would spring back and crack your head). The first ones were actually bungee cords and you'd have to drill a hole in your skeg to attach it - with a knot. Talk about drag. Anyway - Koa and Nathan talking about the inexperienced surfing Pipe because of helmets, makes me relate how so many started surfing (overpopulating spots) because of the cord. We used to have swim (or bodysurf in) to get our boards. Heck we used to bring out our friend's boards by holding onto it with our foot while paddling our own out. We used to judge waves and take off on waves way more thoughtfully. Now any kook will take off and lose control the second they try to stand up. Guys like Koa and Nathan pull of stuff now that we could only dream of back then - yeah improved board designs, but they are just amazing surfers. However, that all said I wouldn't change it - back in the 70's we would go out on really good days with absolutely no one else out. I'm sure my older brothers surfing in the 60's was even so. Not just South Shore, but West Side and the North Shore. There's an old saying about the crowds - "More today than yesterday, but less than tomorrow." Anyway that was a long time ago and I'm now far from home.
Thank you guys 😃🤙 33:11 it’s a tuff conversation but agree it shouldn’t be.. but because of technology and channel promotion,more people than ever are able to see places like the north shore in 4k looking as awesome as it is. Then through RUclips and other streams you can make a lot of money through every aspect of surfing, filming etc Which in-turn attracts a lot of inexperienced people into very dangerous situations because they don’t realise the reason you guys make it look so easy on camera is your professional surfers and good editing, unfortunately a lot of the youth are buying into the dream but don’t want to put in the work and with the green as an insensitive who’s going to stop them.🤷♂️
Dude the mics are just a great new addition, I have surfed England waves since (15 yr old, now 44) and I am a full time photographer ( unfortunately not in the surf industry ) I loved this episode, and such good subjects, especial the water 'picking order' I remember hearing stories about pipe being narly with drop in's, but yeah I total get it!.. but anyway keep this up
Thanks for another episode that felt like hanging out with you. New microphones! The same gradual steps with your tech, like your gradual steps to surfing Pipe. Really relevant chat about the lineup and realising that the task of regulating now falls to you, but with cameras everywhere I totally understand your reticence to you 🙈 Great chat about helmets, I used to wear a hard hat on the reefs in the Canary Islands and subsequently agree with your conclusion. The helmet inhibits too many of our senses. Lots of natural chat, Koa gently charing the discussion, Nate's giggles and the Filmers Cup stories 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for my weekly fix you two ✨️🤙🙌👊🏼
I'm glad Koa mentioned John's website with seconds remaining in the last podcast. I did not know about it and bought a bunch od really nice gear. Thank you and love this format.
You guys have been friends all your life, spent more time with each other than most people do with their families, awesome experiences. What makes your friendship click, like twins sort of . Tell some experiences of your childhood, and have you ever had a big falling out? Always a pleasure to see how well you interact
Thanks for the upgrade on the audio, way better now. Still, it was understandable most of the times before! Keep up with the content, I really like to hear your insights as a kook who started way too late in life
Oh! Aside from the helmet thing. This podcast is one of the best surfing insight media products I’ve ever seen. FYI…my surfing days are over but am so glad to see such knowledge passed on for those to come!!!
Definitely worth the upgrade getting the new set up. Always enjoyed watching your channels and this just adds a whole new dimension. I think the problem with enforcing on the youth was it was labelled bullying and you'd end up getting in more trouble yourself than the person that's outside of their zone. The parents of these kids are also to blame as they were bullied when they were young and advocated against it so their kids wouldn't be. Peace & Love from Australia 🇦🇺 🤙
This is why i like podxasts this was very. Interesting hearing about surfing pipe from your perspective I've never even been there but i have been watching legends like Jamie and you guys for years so its really cool heading you talk about it
Long time listener first time caller, love the mics, possible next step could be use of same cameras so there is no color change or some more lighting?? I love it so much!! Can’t wait to be invited on!
You guys telling your story of growing up on the north shore is price less , I came from the surfer magazine generation , this is just amazing . Thank you guys
I think it would be interesting for you guys to go into detail about all the different “parts” of Pipe… as you named a few “second reef”…”inside bar””wide set” etc. and all the “steps” you took in those 15 years to get to the top of the hierarchy. The bathymetry of pipeline is so interesting too….this would be a good topic for discussion!
My idea, since you brought up the part of pipeline and regulating, etc ... Koa, bring your Dad on if he will do it. Would love to see him talk about, stories, etc
Audio is WAY better. Would love to hear you guys do an episode where you discuss how you progressed from beginner surfing to eventually surfing pipe. What were the steps that it took to get good enough to surf a place like pipe.
Re the comment about pulling the hood off for each wave... Ireland water temperatures are somewhat moderated by the Gulf stream... When winter surfing in near freezing point water (and often much colder air temps), you simply can't do that. We get used to hoods, but yes, more neoprene, be it boots, gloves, hood, or thickness, does dull the connection a little (there are upsides to cold water surfing that offset it). So I think one could get used to wearing a helmet, but I also think, as you say, learning to fall safely and protect yourself is probably more important. Many wear helmets because they think they will prevent concussions, but actually it is much more important to develop strong neck musculature. Helmets mainly just reduce trauma like skull fractures (and that is a good thing!)...
31:09 Aloha from Norwaii! Congrats on the set up. Just wanted to give my 2 cents on the regulating topic. I think you guys telling novice pipe surfers to beat it is a good thing. The lifeguards do it. It’s about safety and it’s a matter of being pro active in safety. You should not feel bad about it. Love the pod. Best. Nicholas
remember a couple years ago seeing two guys show up at pipe with new wavestorms and a pipe lifeguard stopping them from going out, it was small pipe but still big enough for me to stay on the beach, i have surfed for thrity years and know enough to know pipe is not for me. plain old common sense
Yea, you are probably doing some of those guys a favor if you tell them they need to go back in. If 20 guys are telling them to go in, they probably will. With cell phone cameras and lawyers, the days of slapping a guy in the lineup, or punching him on the beach are over.
Great content. I just wanted to point out that there's a lot of misconception going around with the helmet. Helmets are not designed to prevent concussion but it is only helpful in preventing laceration or fractures. I hear many surfers talk about concussion when talking about helmets but it won't help.
Thanks for getting the mics - much better sound. You could buy a couple of small coffee tables that you put behind you (one on each side) and clamp the mic's to them, so they reach out low over the table and don't distract the visuals. Plus then you can have the guest sit in the middle and mics won't be in the way. You can also sit back more naturally and pull the mic up to you instead of hunching over the table.
Guys, it's a cool podcast and super fun to get to know more casual and personal things that go on in pro surfers life. I would like to see some interviews of people who do other water sports in hawai, like bodyboarding, bodysurfing, photographers, etc. I also think it would be cool to include your filmers so they can tell us about what its like filming for you guys, especially when they have to film a solid wipeout.
So friken epic you guys are actually following though with a legit podcast. Not sure if it’s too late for wave of the winter but you’ll be ready to act on all your ideas for 2024
It would be cool to rename the FILMERS CUP, the Larry Haynes Filmer Cup. Its neat that his last instagram post was shooting you Koa. Thanks so much to you both!
MICS! Yes! Sounds really good fellas. Your podcast content is excellent, you're both very likable, and these episodes have been a great listen so far. Looking forward to what's in store...🤙
Great podcast guys. I’m an old ski bum that wants to be a pro surfer but since that won’t happen I live vicariously through your crew on the N Shore. The kook syndrome happens in the big mountains too. I hate to say it but it’s usually snowboarders that get in way over their heads On a board you can slide heel side down damn near anything but it scrapes all the snow off and ruins the steeper lines. If you guys are ever in Utah hit me up and I’ll show you around!! Keep the content coming. You guys are awesome
26:57 nate thinking that extra mile… he said it best you know your level.. know yourself… but there are people that lose senses and get heightened other senses … but i can imagine its restricting depends what youre comfortable with ..
Audio upgrade is huge! Like you were saying in most cases bad audio is fine but when you're listening in a noisy environment (or crap speakers) it just doesn't fly. I listen to podcasts mostly in a noisy kitchen at work or in my loud ass '86 Nissan and if they don't have good mic's it's a no go. Also, covering your ears doesn't hurt your equilibrium except maybe a placebo effect; it's a separate mechanism from the hearing part of the ear that just uses gravity to tell your brain which way is up. Cheers boys, great episode!
If you want to go snowboarding come out to Vail, CO! I’ll put you guys up in my spare bedroom and guide you on the mountain. Just to say thank you for all the inspirational surf vids that I’ve been binging since lockdown in 2020!
Much better now, the sound is way better. Just a small tip, because I can hear the room a bit, if you will cover the table with some kind of towel to absorb some of the reflect of the voice it will be even better. And if you would like to make it really rad and serious, if you´ll set some kind of blanket in the ceiling, then it will be spot on! The less sound reflections you will have in the room, the better and more professional will sound. Love the podcast ;)
With that many people out at pipe there are surely more than a handful of locals that are just free surfers. The big names shouldn't be responsible for regulating the line up. There are enough old school locals that might not have much to lose by "thinning the herd' in the line up. I bet it would take just one month for word to get out and the normies/kooks to adjust to their place in the order of things. That being said, love you guys are doing! Keep it up.
You guys should make a video explaining the setup at pipe and where the younger and newer people should be. Could be helpful for people who don't understand the lineup. idk if that would encourage more people to paddle out though. As a visitor from CA I just surf other spots like V land and Lanis but even there you can't just paddle straight to the peak.
Man you guys are so right, I surfed Jupiter and all around the east coast. I went to Barbados, soup bowls when I was 18. It was 10 to 12ft and I sat in the channel and watched, I knew I was not skilled enough, and didn't want to ruin someone else's session.
Love watching your podcasts and videos! You two are the best! I think it's funny when you say the hot sun! I live in Las Vegas, NV where we go through 110 degrees plus summer days! Keep up the amazing work! God Bless both of you
Nice mics! Already a good start using them. You haven't positioned them in front of your faces, which I often see on video'd pods. Very interesting thoughts about helmets especially Koa's experience. As for guest I'd like to hear from your parents and what it's like when your kid wants to do something as dangerous as you guys do. Also, perhaps someone who was around at the time of the 'old days', how did it get started, what were the rules, how they enforced the rules, and what they think can be done in these 'new days'.
It's cool to see you guys starting up and learning as u go along. Enjoy the real talk. Liked the pipeline info for the beginners who don't know they have to put in their time before paddling out next to u guys. You absolutely have to be the ones to say it now. The 1st podcast was cool bc u explain a lot as well without even realizing it. May bring in more rookies out to the water but...they'll realize lol
You guys make an amazing team. Would love to see the great Eddie Rothman interview . Your mom’s would be fun. Would love to see Makana Pang ,Coco, Makua,Kai Lenny,Eli,Kimi Werner,Mason and Michael,Ivan, Jamie, Mahina… endless fun !!
I would love to surf hawaii someday. I have lot of experience elsewhere but just never been. But man that first time I go out on north shore im not gonna be near a soul lol. I have way to much respect for the sport and those waves to be near anyone. I had the same sense when I moved to florida but now I’m comfortable being in the crowds there because like they said I took the time to learn away from people
The audio is sooo much better, but there are dishes in the kitchen in the background that need to be put away.....soooo not a completely legit podcast but you're on your way (and you are LEGENDS - so thanks for this and your RUclips channels.
Way better!! Now move the mixing board out of the frame, so u will have room for sponsor placement product. Put them in the frig wo the box put box wer mixing board is =get more sponsor
Would be interested to hear how CT surfers are in the lineup at Pipe. And do they get some waves before the contest. And how does it work for CT surfers at other waves. I'm sure they're not just showing up and sitting in the inside. Especially when there is an event upcoming.
There was nothing wrong with the old audio. The new mics are an upgrade... im gonna check them out for my own podcast.. old scool fly fishing.. soft hackles... im taking notes. So keep up the good work. Your inspiring... RIP Larry....
Since I started Mountain Biking I've gotten used to them. You have to so you just accept it. In the water I contemplate it still, kind of think I was an idiot skating and pulling into some shelfs not having one on now that I'm older and see what has happened to others. I guess it's ultimately up to you..
OK, you asked for opinions on helmets...I wear them and have worn them in all the sports that I have played and participated...there were two times when I didn't wear one, a huge Cocoa Beach hurricane swell in 1999 and while JUST RIDING my bike to the bike shop to replace the pads in my bike racing/speed skating helmet because it didn't fit right due to worn out pads (a loose helmet can be just as dangerous as not wearing one) and of course, I stupidly took a high-speed fall, bouncing my head off the asphalt like a basketball...in addition to the road rash of my face, I lost part of my left ear, broke T1 and two ribs, and had a major concussion...the other time, after a close out barrel, while my board and I tumbled thru the beatdown, my board was left with a perfect impression of the back of my head and I had, of course, another concussion...all the other times of many years when I have fallen in so-called adventure sports (surfing, bike racing, snowboarding, speed skating, climbing) I have never had another concussion nor suffered head injuries of any type...many other broken bones yes, and broken and scraped up helmets, but no head injuries...so imho, wear one...that's just my opinion...dj
Your right about California. People are snowed in. Its been a low snow elevation ..and now we are getting a warmer storm which melts the low snow and could cause severe flooding. Out state is one of extremes... things could get bad for some... last fall when the reservoirs were at 25% it looked bleak so we prayed for rain.. and we got it. Hmmmm. The power of player.. or just a coincidence .
I forgot to add, I love these podcasts. Also, I really liked your suggestion of having one (or more) of you two and your friends just hanging out together, telling stories, especially of your childhood adventures like surfing Pipe at 13 years old...just sayin', keep it up, you're doing great...dj
Love they’re having the conversation about regulating line ups. This is such a important part of surfing. Too many people just coming out of nowhere with no order creates chaos. Great episode fellas! Keep it up

Keep your head up boss !
Much love to you kent… its rough out here i know.. one step at a time to a better place! You got this man! ❤️

Just seeing this now man but I hope things are getting better for you. Idk what’s going on but sometimes a change of mindset helps a ton also.
Sound quality is so much better! Great job guys
Much gratitude to you guys for your insightful thoughts, wisdom/knowledge and funny stories! Can't get on the podcast apps because of my Deafness, so I am grateful to you guys for enabling the closed caption option on this YT channel!
super cool format, we get to be one of the boys chilling on the north shore. a lot more engaging than the usual format.
Loving the new setup boys! 🤘🏻
i'll do the drunk one with you guys!
Laughing out loud as you tell the story about Owen🤣 the podcast is just getting better every week guys. Would love to see JOB as a guest🤙

I dig the realism you two bring to the slice of the surf life your in.
Nice to see you boys are getting somewhat legit with the new mics!
And somewhat a sponsor
You guys are such legends. You're the reason I started surfing a year ago and been loving it!
So what tell them to beat it. That is your job! I’m 67 and the older guys when I started surfing for sure ruled the line up. You had to earn respect❤

It’s a great hang with you guys, it’s like sitting at the table with you and hearing great stories. Thanks
That's why it shouldn't get too polished!
Great helmet discussion. It’s sorta like the motorcycle helmet debate but with heavy water involved.
Dude the mics are just a great new addition, I have surfed England waves since (15 yr old, now 44) and I am a full time photographer ( unfortunately not in the surf industry ) I loved this episode, and such good subjects, especial the water 'picking order' I remember hearing stories about pipe being narly with drop in's, but yeah I total get it!.. but anyway keep this up

MICS! Yes! Sounds really good fellas. Your podcast content is excellent, you're both very likable, and these episodes have been a great listen so far. Looking forward to what's in store...🤙
Sounds Good. Thanks for the reading the comments.
Great podcast guys. I’m an old ski bum that wants to be a pro surfer but since that won’t happen I live vicariously through your crew on the N Shore. The kook syndrome happens in the big mountains too. I hate to say it but it’s usually snowboarders that get in way over their heads On a board you can slide heel side down damn near anything but it scrapes all the snow off and ruins the steeper lines. If you guys are ever in Utah hit me up and I’ll show you around!! Keep the content coming. You guys are awesome
I heard cattle are dropping left right in utah? Is it really that “hot”?
Your kitchen table looks So much better w those mics!!.. ... it does sound good..
36:43 that sounds like good footage ! Good friends man cherish the bond bro
26:57 nate thinking that extra mile… he said it best you know your level.. know yourself… but there are people that lose senses and get heightened other senses … but i can imagine its restricting depends what youre comfortable with ..
Stoked for the Mic’s!! Way more listenable now
Audio upgrade is huge! Like you were saying in most cases bad audio is fine but when you're listening in a noisy environment (or crap speakers) it just doesn't fly. I listen to podcasts mostly in a noisy kitchen at work or in my loud ass '86 Nissan and if they don't have good mic's it's a no go. Also, covering your ears doesn't hurt your equilibrium except maybe a placebo effect; it's a separate mechanism from the hearing part of the ear that just uses gravity to tell your brain which way is up. Cheers boys, great episode!
LFG!!!! Wait all week for wed/thurs and the podcast and vlogs. Best of health to u both and glad no sirens on the background lol
If you want to go snowboarding come out to Vail, CO! I’ll put you guys up in my spare bedroom and guide you on the mountain. Just to say thank you for all the inspirational surf vids that I’ve been binging since lockdown in 2020!
Much better now, the sound is way better. Just a small tip, because I can hear the room a bit, if you will cover the table with some kind of towel to absorb some of the reflect of the voice it will be even better. And if you would like to make it really rad and serious, if you´ll set some kind of blanket in the ceiling, then it will be spot on!
The less sound reflections you will have in the room, the better and more professional will sound. Love the podcast ;)
With that many people out at pipe there are surely more than a handful of locals that are just free surfers. The big names shouldn't be responsible for regulating the line up. There are enough old school locals that might not have much to lose by "thinning the herd' in the line up. I bet it would take just one month for word to get out and the normies/kooks to adjust to their place in the order of things. That being said, love you guys are doing! Keep it up.
You guys should make a video explaining the setup at pipe and where the younger and newer people should be. Could be helpful for people who don't understand the lineup. idk if that would encourage more people to paddle out though. As a visitor from CA I just surf other spots like V land and Lanis but even there you can't just paddle straight to the peak.
Man you guys are so right, I surfed Jupiter and all around the east coast. I went to Barbados, soup bowls when I was 18. It was 10 to 12ft and I sat in the channel and watched, I knew I was not skilled enough, and didn't want to ruin someone else's session.
Good call.
Love watching your podcasts and videos! You two are the best! I think it's funny when you say the hot sun! I live in Las Vegas, NV where we go through 110 degrees plus summer days!
Keep up the amazing work! God Bless both of you
Nice mics! Already a good start using them. You haven't positioned them in front of your faces, which I often see on video'd pods. Very interesting thoughts about helmets especially Koa's experience. As for guest I'd like to hear from your parents and what it's like when your kid wants to do something as dangerous as you guys do. Also, perhaps someone who was around at the time of the 'old days', how did it get started, what were the rules, how they enforced the rules, and what they think can be done in these 'new days'.
It's cool to see you guys starting up and learning as u go along. Enjoy the real talk. Liked the pipeline info for the beginners who don't know they have to put in their time before paddling out next to u guys. You absolutely have to be the ones to say it now. The 1st podcast was cool bc u explain a lot as well without even realizing it. May bring in more rookies out to the water but...they'll realize lol
this is amazing, the fun vibes are contagious!
I can’t figure out why this is my favorite podcast but it is👏🏻
Great audio! I do like how we heard the noises around you before. But this is much clearer!
You guys make an amazing team.
Would love to see the great Eddie Rothman interview .
Your mom’s would be fun.
Would love to see Makana Pang ,Coco,
Makua,Kai Lenny,Eli,Kimi Werner,Mason and Michael,Ivan,
Jamie,
Mahina… endless fun !!
❤ the 🎙🎙' and the sound quality. 👏 👏 👏 You can specially note the improvement when listening in Spotify.
33:58 EXACTLY BROOOO teach respect and etiquette .. give back even if it is wisdom love.. it costs nothing
I would love to surf hawaii someday. I have lot of experience elsewhere but just never been. But man that first time I go out on north shore im not gonna be near a soul lol. I have way to much respect for the sport and those waves to be near anyone. I had the same sense when I moved to florida but now I’m comfortable being in the crowds there because like they said I took the time to learn away from people
This is killer guys! Great job! I just subscribed and will go back and watch your previous podcasts! Audio is great! Keep up the great work!👍🤙🤙
Worth it dude all the stuff these guys put out is good…
You guys are a blast man much love !
The audio is sooo much better, but there are dishes in the kitchen in the background that need to be put away.....soooo not a completely legit podcast but you're on your way (and you are LEGENDS - so thanks for this and your RUclips channels.
I like that they have dishes laying around.
Real people, not staged.
You guys rock, love the new mics, the sound is awesome
Way better!!
Now move the mixing board out of the frame, so u will have room for sponsor placement product.
Put them in the frig wo the box put box wer mixing board is =get more sponsor
Congrats on the clean audio, boys! You’re, like, professional and stuff now.
sound quality is terrific - would love to hear some old school surf travelers talk about exploring G-Land in the 70s or other OGs
You kooks finally got mics 😂good job, great episode like always
Would be interested to hear how CT surfers are in the lineup at Pipe. And do they get some waves before the contest. And how does it work for CT surfers at other waves. I'm sure they're not just showing up and sitting in the inside. Especially when there is an event upcoming.
Audio is awesome. You guys just keep getting better!
Sounds a lot clearer. Great video and conversation
There was nothing wrong with the old audio. The new mics are an upgrade... im gonna check them out for my own podcast.. old scool fly fishing.. soft hackles... im taking notes. So keep up the good work. Your inspiring... RIP Larry....
Since I started Mountain Biking I've gotten used to them. You have to so you just accept it. In the water I contemplate it still, kind of think I was an idiot skating and pulling into some shelfs not having one on now that I'm older and see what has happened to others. I guess it's ultimately up to you..
35:48 Where would you rather we watch these? What helps you? Help us help you! The people got you man i know this!!!!
Great audio!!!!!!! The best so far
OK, you asked for opinions on helmets...I wear them and have worn them in all the sports that I have played and participated...there were two times when I didn't wear one, a huge Cocoa Beach hurricane swell in 1999 and while JUST RIDING my bike to the bike shop to replace the pads in my bike racing/speed skating helmet because it didn't fit right due to worn out pads (a loose helmet can be just as dangerous as not wearing one) and of course, I stupidly took a high-speed fall, bouncing my head off the asphalt like a basketball...in addition to the road rash of my face, I lost part of my left ear, broke T1 and two ribs, and had a major concussion...the other time, after a close out barrel, while my board and I tumbled thru the beatdown, my board was left with a perfect impression of the back of my head and I had, of course, another concussion...all the other times of many years when I have fallen in so-called adventure sports (surfing, bike racing, snowboarding, speed skating, climbing) I have never had another concussion nor suffered head injuries of any type...many other broken bones yes, and broken and scraped up helmets, but no head injuries...so imho, wear one...that's just my opinion...dj
Way better audio! Doing construction, listening through my earbuds at work🤙🏻
Your right about California. People are snowed in. Its been a low snow elevation ..and now we are getting a warmer storm which melts the low snow and could cause severe flooding. Out state is one of extremes... things could get bad for some... last fall when the reservoirs were at 25% it looked bleak so we prayed for rain.. and we got it. Hmmmm. The power of player.. or just a coincidence .
new set up is great. sounds great
Would love to see Kala Alexander on as a guest and talk about his thoughts on the regulating changes over the years at pipeline
Agreed!!!
Nah he’s a tool.
come hawai'i den queeah utu bang bang lidat real quick! @@justinsmith4562
Love the change to real mics! Yes we could understand you guys before but good audio is key to a good podcast. Keep it up!
The words going i to the mic make the podcast
I forgot to add, I love these podcasts. Also, I really liked your suggestion of having one (or more) of you two and your friends just hanging out together, telling stories, especially of your childhood adventures like surfing Pipe at 13 years old...just sayin', keep it up, you're doing great...dj
