Episode 153 welcomes a true standout in the world of longboarding, Emily Currie — 2025 UK Longboard Champion and one of the most exciting talents in British surfing.

In this episode, Emily shares her journey into surfing, how she fell in love with longboarding, and what it takes to compete at the highest level in the UK surf scene.

We dive into the mindset behind competition, the challenges of balancing passion with performance, and her experiences traveling, training, and representing the sport.

Emily also opens up about the growth of women’s surfing, the importance of community in the lineup, and her goals for the future both in and out of competition.

Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or just getting started, this episode is packed with inspiration, insight, and plenty of stoke.

Tune in for an honest, uplifting conversation with one of the UK’s leading longboarders.

Episode 152 of the UK Surf Show Podcast comes in hot with a chaotic blend of surf, stamina, and stories that probably shouldn’t have made it past the group chat.

Mitch is back doing what he does best—scoring waves at St. Andrews like it’s just another casual day at the office—while Pete lives a double life, bouncing between the engineered perfection of The Wave and the wild, wind-battered reality of Bude.

We’ve also got a drop-in session with Kookville Clothing, bringing a bit of surf culture and style into the mix.

But this episode quickly derails (in the best way possible). We get into bike rides that turned into survival missions, running that felt more like slow-motion suffering, and an unforgettable encounter with an old lady… who may or may not have stolen the show.

It’s dramatic. It’s ridiculous. It’s surf chat with a heavy side of “how did we get here?”—and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Episode 151 – AdSurf

Surfing is for everyone — and this week we’re talking about the people making that a reality.

In this episode we dive into AdSurf, the adaptive surfing charity based in Bude, Cornwall, helping people with disabilities, neurodiversity, and mental health challenges experience the joy of the ocean. Founded in 2022, AdSurf is all about removing barriers to surfing — from seated boards and tandem rides to fully supported sessions that get more people into the water.

We chat about the rise of adaptive surfing, the power of community on the beach, and why the simple act of catching a wave can mean so much more than just a ride.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about performance — it’s about doing what you love and making the ocean accessible to everyone.

Episode 150 – Far Wooden Surfboards

In this milestone 150th episode of the podcast, we drift a little further from the shoreline and into the grain of something timeless — wooden surfboards.

From hand-shaped hollow builds in sheds to the quiet resurgence of craftsmanship across the UK coast, we’re talking foam-free lines, salt-stung fingers, and the kind of glide you just don’t get off a pop-out.

There’s history in timber. There’s patience in planing. And there’s something beautifully stubborn about choosing wood in a world of epoxy shortcuts.

We chat with Frazer the maker keeping it alive,

This is Episode 150 — Far Wooden Surfboards

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we’re heading down to the rugged north coast of Cornwall to spotlight something pretty special happening in the lineup. We’re talking about Newquay Women’s Surf Club CIC — a community-driven surf collective that’s redefining what it means to belong in British surfing.

Born out of a desire to create safer, more inclusive spaces in the water, Newquay Women’s Surf Club CIC isn’t just about catching waves — it’s about confidence, connection, and community. Set against the iconic breaks of Newquay, this club has quickly become a cornerstone for women of all ages and abilities looking to step into the surf scene — whether for the first time or the fiftieth.

In this episode, we dive into how the club started — a grassroots movement sparked by local surfers who saw the need for more representation and support in the lineup. What began as a few informal meetups has grown into a fully fledged Community Interest Company (CIC), offering structured surf sessions, mentorship, training pathways, and even leadership opportunities for women wanting to move into coaching and water safety roles.

We talk about the power of shared experience — from cold winter paddles to those golden summer evenings when the swell lines up just right. Members share stories of overcoming fear, imposter syndrome, and the sometimes-intimidating culture that can exist in busy UK lineups. There’s laughter, a few wipeouts, and plenty of talk about the magic that happens when women back each other in the water.

Beyond surfing, the club is championing mental wellbeing, ocean stewardship, and environmental awareness — proving that surf culture here in the UK is evolving in all the right ways. It’s about creating space, not taking it. About community over competition.

If you’ve ever wondered how local surf collectives are shaping the future of the sport, this one’s for you. Because at its heart, Newquay Women’s Surf Club CIC isn’t just changing who’s in the lineup — it’s changing how the lineup feels.

So grab a brew, settle in, and let’s get into it.
