HORSES MOUTH

DONNY 'THE DON' ALLCROFT

Donny 'The Don' Allcroft started life in England in the 1940s - From this day and age that period of humanity truly looks like the wild west, the shit you could do on the daily back then, would have you on the BBC top 10 most read in today's gentrified modern world. The Don Hails from this period, Good with his hands, he followed in his father's footsteps as a plumber, before moving to Australia in his late teens and being drawn into what was the beginning of a surfing life not just for him but for many that shaped what modern surfing is today!
It wasn't long before The Don was a local in Torquay and regarded as one of the great craftsman of foam - his passion, knowledge, and thirst have him still today highly regarded and connected in a league of legends, Shaping for Pyke, Ripcurl, Mark Richards, Dick Brewer and his own brand Sunbird Surfboards.
The Don is a true gentleman of the Land and Sea, He knows how to yarn with the best of them, and sometimes its a decoy so watch him in the water, one of the elders of Winki.
I feel privileged to have had Donny over for a chin wag  
Hope you enjoy our chat

DAVID MANRIQUE

What a pleasure it was meeting David and his wife Claudia, thanks so much for the amazing experience and being so welcoming and awesome with me. 
David is from Colombia, he now resides in Melbourne with his wife, and what a journey it has been for him, and how life throws us curve balls, David's dream from a young age was to become a Doctor, and he got there with flying colors, But was it enough ? were the lures of prestige and modern world too much? David went to the edge of life and death and is back to tell the story from an amazingly full and rich place he now resides in, in his heart, wiser, happier and still on a healing and being of service to others journey. 
Feel so blessed to have met David and Claudia 
I hope you enjoy our chat 

JACK McCOY

This chat I had the amazing fortune of speaking with none other than Jack McCoy, For those of you who don't know who Jack is you need to pull your head out of the bloody sand and slap yourself around the face, Jack is probably the most influential surf filmmaker of the past 50 years, his films, the cinematography in and out of the water, music choice and humor all have been game-changing in the industry.  Jacks a long time hero of mine, his films shaped me at a time of my life when I was desperate for an anchor, and my imagination of living a life somewhat like what Jack was portraying in Bunyip Dreaming and The Green Iguana was second to none. 
When Jack said yes to having a chat with me I was beyond stoked. 
So if you're out there Jack, Thanks so much ! I super enjoyed the hang. 
On May 1st Jack starts Australian tour - The 25th Anniversary of the 'Occumentary' , I'll drop a link in here - I'm going to Lorne screening can't wait

CHEYENNE

Cheyenne is such a present-in-the-moment amazing human, Truly a seeker and or searcher of her soul and the natural world around her.
I first noticed her playing with a friend of mine's daughter at the beach and she seemed so free and uninhibited, and I was like is she on Mushrooms, in a joking manner, and my friend laughed and said noooo that's just Cheyenne - She's just free and doesn't care, refreshing yeah, she's on a journey and she's just been in India studying for three months, now visiting Australia, she's hugged 35 million people --- What I spat out ! will she come on the podcast ?
Cheyenne is a true beautiful open soul that is going deep with healing and what it means to be a human who truly is connected to a deeper aspect of self that is rarely seen in Western society.
I thank you so much for coming over and having a chat Cheyenne 

JAMIE POWELL

Jamie Powell 
I first met Jamie Powell at the Jan Juc Boardriders many moons ago, He told me He like the Horses Mouth so I instantly liked him, it was 3 to 4 ft wild onshore day and He was in my first heat, it was one of those surfs where its hard to see where people are sitting and what they are doing, bit of a washing machine, I managed to see him take off on one and watched him race a section and boost a nice punt, and I thought fuck! who the fuck is this guy. 
Jamie is a musician and is in the band 3 Humps on Spotify...check em out they rock !...by day he's a civil engineer who works super hard and knows how to grind it out and when he's finished with work ( by night ) he's a rogue underground slab hunter, forever on a mission to jag a cooking left. This podcast is bit of a two-part series, All business up front and party at the back. 
I admire the way Jamie gets about and gets it done
Thanks heaps for coming over Jamie Powell 
Yeeeew 

GERARD BLACK

Gerard Black is such a wonderful human, I feel honored to have had a Yak with the great man. 
I do love talking to an artist, but especially when they are so connected to land and lineage, there is a real awareness Gerard carries. 
Gerard is originally from Worimi Country Newcastle area But has spent most of his time on Wadawurrung land around Torquay, till his latest shift a bit further west.
Gerard's art can be found far and wide, to name but a few - Geelong Art Centre, Newcastle Knights jersey, The Australian Open, Xavier Rudd, Patagonia, and on Bodys alike as he and his wife also have a Tidal Tattoo in Torquay.
I loved having a yak with Gerard - I hope you enjoy 
Cheers Geeeeerrrraaarrd.

Eva hails originally from Sweden but San Fransico is home,  She's an awesome human, driven and on a mission to help others while enjoying her own peace of mind, it hasn't always been this way !!!  we are lucky to have her here in Australia at the moment, and I'm super lucky our lives crossed paths! She's so straight up, authentic, and warm and is doing her best to help people change their lives and move through whatever blocks that may be holding them back.
