North Swell

November Update

Sat, 02 Nov 2024 06:00:16 GMT

Well, it has been a long time since a North Swell update, and having bumped into some of you in the real world who asked after the podcast, I felt it was only right to provide what may be a final episode, but what is at least an episode. Enjoy this brief 15 min ramble!

North Swell - Olympic Preview!

Sat, 27 Jul 2024 05:30:42 GMT

By far the most slap dash, thrown together, rambling and almost non sensical Olympic surfing preview. But really, what would you expect from North Swell? More Olympic stuff may or may not follow.

Hope you get some good ones!

Surf Capsule - Jasper Novakovic AKA Reefkeeper Surfboards

Sat, 13 Apr 2024 05:30:44 GMT

A brand new concept for North Swell, still bringing local surf news to the North Sea area and the traditional interviews with people who surf the North Sea, but now also presenting.... 'SURF CAPSULE'

A Shameless rip off of lots of different podcast formats, mushed into a surfing soup. Tell me three things you would put in a surf capsule (bit like a time capsule) that sum up your surfing life and are important to you. Then we have a chat about them. For Episode one, we have returning guest, friend of the show and all round good person, Jasper Novakovic AKA Reefkeeper surfboards. Hope you like it!

This episode, the interview is with True North Surf Club, represented by Club chairman (respect where it's due) Clive and super stoked surfer of one year Louise.

Also, your host goes on a short political rant and praises the new generation of pro surfers in a roundabout way.

The Gliding Dutchman

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 07:00:18 GMT

This episode, North Swell goes international for the first time. So far, discussions of the North Sea coast have been confined only to the UK, so I'm stoked to welcome Jeroen Vork aka the Gliding Dutchman to the show.

Hoping to get another episode out in Feb sometime, get in touch with the show: northswellpodcast@gmail.com or @northswellpodcast on instagram.

Sat, 23 Dec 2023 06:19:55 GMT

Brad Hulme

Sat, 14 Oct 2023 05:30:04 GMT

This episode, your host has been suffering from surf FOMO due to illness, and is not afraid to use his platform to whine about it. If you can get through that, you will find an interview with Brad in there somewhere, well travelled local, surf coach and highly stylish longboarder.

Ed - Rockers Deluxe

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 05:00:50 GMT

Ep 2 of Series 2 and you can hear your host starting to unravel due to what seems like a monumental flat spell. If I surf therefore I am, what the fuck am I if I don't surf?!

George Butt

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 05:00:47 GMT

Nortth Swell is back for another season of interviews with characters from the North Sea surf scene, interspersed with a bang average surfer/ pro level rambler trying to hold it all together without sounding insane.

This episode, I chat with George to gain some much needed Lincs perspective, so far missing from North Swell. There's viewing recommendations from near and far, and North Swell gets an endorsement from one of the premier surf podcast outlets...

The Cutback

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 06:00:34 GMT

No guest this episode, just a series closing cutback, where I reflect a bit on what's happened during the first series and then rebound off the foam to look back down the line at what might happen in series 2.

A bit of international surf news and a couple of absolute primo viewing recommendations and that's yer lot for now. Back in August with more tomfoolery.

Louis Thomas-Hudson

Thu, 29 Jun 2023 05:00:18 GMT

This episode, the interview is with Louis Thomas-Hudson, rapidly rising star of the North East's big wave scene. A brief look at his instagram will demonstrate that Louis does not mess about when it comes to surfing; he also happens to be a very laid back character who is a pleasure to chat to.

As well as speaking to Louis, there's our usual dose of local surf news, and a brief look at the international surf world (#Slabudabhi?!).

Episode 12, and North Swell Podcast is on its Summer holidays...

Tune in this week to hear me chat to Laura, the creator of Daughters of the Sea Magazine about all kinds of stuff, including me making a reference to Vogue (?), surfing cold water, and the idea that surfers can be well rounded people too.
