Paul Evans & Ben Mondy bring you the latest news and views from around the surf world in their light-hearted, heavily opinionated podcast It’s Not The Length.
2021’s Best Chats: Peter Mel, Chris Burkard, Jon Frank & Andy King
Whether 2021 was an annus horribilis for you or not, well it’s all behind us now. For this episode, It’s Not Length looks back on some of the very best chats of the year that was, as your hosts Evans and Mondy brought you insights from an array of some of the legendary folk in the sport.
Peter The Condor Mel tells us all about becoming the Mav’s GOAT and riding the best wave ever at Mav’s - possibly the best wave anywhere, ever - back in January.
Next up photographer/explorer Chris Burkard checks in from the wilds of Yosemite to chat all things travel and adventure surf photography. The line is crackly, but the insight and inspiration is tack sharp.
Jon Frank tells the story of filming Litmus back in 1995, and the Irish surf scene back at a time when relatively little was known about the surf riches of the Emerald Isle. Now co-owner of Australia’s legendary Surfing World Magazine, Frank has long been one of the most artistic surf photographers in the game.
When Gabriel Medina sat down to mastermind his World Title winning 2021 campaign. He called Fanning. Fanning called Kingy. We called Kingy too, and he told us about working with Gab, life on tour, his own fascinating backstory, but above all gave performance surfing advice for Evans and Mondy.
Best Wishes for 2022 from everyone at Wavelength.
