Show notes

Mona Vale's Luke Stedman spent an incredible seven years on the elite ASP/WOZ World Championship Tour in an era that is still regarded as the toughest and most competitive in pro surfing history. Kicking off during the Irons/Slater war of 2003, he'd surf an astonishing six events before making his first heat, but once he'd run the sword through his childhood hero Kelly "Groovy Avalon" Slater at pumping J-Bay, he knew he was exactly where he deserved to be. Plenty to enjoy in this one, so get ya steaming Shanghai Sex on already!
