Crest Surfcast

We had to drop at least once before 2024 was done, didn't we? Our excuse is we kept waiting for the Welsh to run... but then it did, so here we are. We've got the exclusive first interviews from both Mens and Womens winners Logan and Josie, as well as a 'best bits' file of Greg Owen's commentary. Tom debates with studio guests Sindia Sosdian and Logan whether summer or winter is th

Who in Wales doesn't miss the Rhines? Of course, it was only a matter of time before Crest and Welsh Surfing legend James Rhino Thomas appeared on our bandwidth again - and this time it's from New Zealand, his new place of abode. Following a late arrival, as Rob had to finish his Cricket Club's AGM first, he and Tom ask Rhines about all the important things; how is the surf, what's

We formed this podcast to chat with legends, and here they are! To celebrate the WSF turning 50 this year, Crest has pulled together quite a guest list. Mark Vaughan and James Jones have joined Tom and Rob on the couch, alongside none other than Linda Sharp and Herbi aka Huw John. These guys pretty much are the WSF over the past few decades, and once again, Linda's encyclopedic kno

For most of Wales' sixty-plus years of surf culture, the idea we could have a world champion was beyond improbable. Not any more. Last winter, at Pismo Beach, California, Llywelyn 'Sponge' Williams broke the best record of them all - the first ever Welsh world surfing champion. This is an incredible tale, from the beaches and points of the Llŷn Peninsula to touring the world, and

Charger, style-master, Olympian and current European Number One... could there be a better start to our fourth season? On the morning of the final (Boardmasters), Tom and Millie Phillips sat down with the defending event champ, Portugal's rising star Yolanda Hopkins. Yolanda has been a popular figure on the QS in recent years, as well as qualifying for the Toyko Olympics in style.

It's here! Season 4 is go, and it's kicking off with Rob and Tom's analysis of the 2023 Welsh. Held over the Mayday weekend, it turned into a real showcase of the state of Wales' surfing, and our presenters should know, having watched just about every heat as our team helped run the webcast with Camera Anchor (a.k.a. Craig Nicol). This full breakdown includes a comprehensive list o

The latest on Llewelyn 'Sponge' Williams' win at the World Games - a first in Welsh Surfing. Then we have a run-through with Producer Dodd and Tom of some of the last two seasons' guests' favourite memories of Christmas surfs. Plus, will there be a wave on Christmas Day? Or is it too early to tell...Produced by James DoddArtwork by GS Design CoMusic Copyright James Dodd 2020

The Season Three finale sees us chat to a very special person in Welsh and British surfing. John Purton has been shaping surfboards seriously for some half a century, and in that time has met, known and worked with some of the top athletes these shores have known. Involved from the first moments of the UK surf industry, we hear about the various labels JP has shaped under, and the

With more heat than ever on governments' approaches to clean oceans, sewage discharge, sustainability and plastic reduction, we catch up with one of the shining lights of surfing's ecological movements. Hugo Tagholm has decades of experience trying to hold power to account on behalf of the environment. Right as the SAS Safer Seas and Rivers app was in most headline bulletins for ex

In the second of Rob and Tom's dispatches while on WSL duty in Newquay, this is a celebration of a range of voices from the UK junior scene. During the Havianas Junior Open, beach marshall Tim Pitt let Crest run a pop-up interview station during Rounds One and Two of the boys' event, through which they managed to get the thoughts of a range of the competitors, including the eventua
