What a privilege this week to have WSL commentator (and wearer of about 50 other hats) Ronnie Blakey in the shed.   After near on 25 years in the Surf Industry, Ronnie has pretty much seen it all - rising from the basement floor to become editor of Tracks and Waves magazines, being at the forefront of the digital technology boom and commentating on some of the most significant moments in Surfing history.  Further to that, he possesses that innate 'Blakey' energy and a born story telling ability that seems to 'light up' any room he enters (this week in the shed was no different).  So strap yourselves in for some laugh out loud tales and hard won wisdom from a man many consider to be one of the wisest counsels in surfing today.

As always we would like to thank the people who support us:

Yulli's Brews - Big thank you to Simon and the team for the continued support in the hydration department - seeing as the fridge is near on empty week after week, the beer has been a huge hit.  For those of you out there who haven't met Amanda, Jed, Hans Gropo, or even the big Seabass - we'll make sure that over the next few months we introduce you all.  The team at Yulli's Brew know their beer and food in equal measure and they also know how to have a bloody good time doing it.  If you want to get your hands on one of the beers we've mentioned above or perhaps another tipple tickles your fancy, be sure to visit  https://www.yullisbrews.com.au/

Lennox Pizza and Pasta - The best pizza this side of Naples and a huge supporter of the podcast - call in and see Mez and the team when next in Lennox Head or get online and check them out at https://lennoxheadpizzaandpasta.com.au/
