It's Not The Length Podcast Episode 1: Hawaii Debrief, Dog Marsh & Natxo Gonzalez

Its Not The Length

Paul Evans & Ben Mondy bring you the latest news and views from around the surf world in their light-hearted, heavily opinionated new pod It’s Not The Length. Episode one features a review of the thrilling climax to the 2018 competitive season in Hawaii, and looks forward to 2019. Guests include former Top 10 WCT pro turned supercoach, Richard ‘Dog’ Marsh, who joins the lads from his French home fresh back from another successful North Shore campaign. Find out how Dog turned freesurf whizz Ryan Callinan back into a comp crushing machine and masterminded the Leo Fioravanti’s dramatic requalification, as well as what he thinks of the lads’ bold predictions for the new CT intake for 2019. Elsewhere, the pod catches up with Basque Big Wave Tour legend Natxo Gonzalez, who recalls his epic perfect 10 giant barrel at the Nazaré Challenge, and recounts a testing trip to Peahi. Much to Ben’s disapproval, Paul nominates surf deity Mark Richards as a Sacred Cow, and the boys consider the 4 x World Champ’s case for either being put out to pasture in the green grass of Legend Meadow, or alternatively, being dispatched by the abattoir’s mercy lever and made into long necked Wounded Seagull burgers. Other hot topics under scrutiny include the Nazaré Challenge, Brazil’s Tour domination, Rodriguez/Hendrickson handbags, John John the sailor man and the 2020 Olympics selection criteria.
