A conversation with Christopher "SARGE" Sardelis_HARBOUR CHRONICLES Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week is an “OG” Seal Beach ripper who caught his first wave in 1969. He was sponsored and worked at the iconic Harbour Surfboards, which led to a long-time friendship and bond with Rich, who eventually encouraged him to take up his passion in photography in 2002. His short time behind the lens quickly resulted with his first published photo in Surfer just about a year later. His dedication and keen eye, with the help from his wife/artist Enzia Farrel, Art Brewer, Larry “Flame” Moore, Tom Carey, and Warren Bolster, (so it is to no surprise) his amazing images graced the pages in Surfer, Surfing, and Transworld and many other publications. The last few years he has been working a new film “Harbour Chronicles”- a documentary to celebrate the life of Rich Harbour REST IN PEACE!! We welcome to the show, a man’s-man who was a civil servant for 32 years as a Firefighter for The County of LosdAngeles, Mr. Chris “SARGE” Sardelis!!

A conversation with Reef "BIG CAT" McIntosh_QUIKSILVER Oct 10, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week is a hard-charging Kauai'an, known for paddling into any death pit at Pipe and chasing XXL swells across the globe. His résumé is stacked, winning the Pipeline Invitational in 2014 earning a coveted Pipe Masters wildcard, and taking the crown at the prestigious Da Hui Backdoor Shootout with a $30K payday! Also being awarded “Wave of the Decade” in 2020, add to that multiple “Wave of the Winter” and “XXL Big Wave Award” nominations, it’s clear he earned his place as a Big Wave Warrior!

But if there’s one moment that etched his name into surfing history and mainstream headlines, it was the wild Teahupoo incident when the jet ski he was driving went over the falls, literally launching over the head of Big-Wave Legend Raimana Van Bastolaer. A viral clip that lit up Social Media, covered by Sports Illustrated and major news outlets worldwide.

Beyond charging slabs, he’s managed the Quiksilver North Shore Athlete House for the last decade, and has the passion and dedicates time to giving back supporting those battling Cystic Fibrosis.

We’re honored to welcome to the show a true Hawaiian charger and legend of our sport, Reef “BIG CAT” McIntosh!

A conversation with Keanu Asing_BILLABONG USA Oct 03, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week is a Hawaiian surfer who’s been battling it out in the lineup since the young age of 8. Going head-to-head with some of the most prominent Surfers to ever come out of Hawaii. Following those intense amateur rivalries onto the world stage, he qualified for the Championship Tour in 2015. His career-defining moment came at the Quiksilver Pro France, where he took down legends Kelly Slater, John John Florence, and Gabriel Medina to claim one of the biggest wins of his career.

Beyond that, he has stacked multiple victories on the Qualifying Series—from Virginia Beach and Barbados to Huntington Beach at the Jack’s Pro, and of course, at his home break, the world-famous Ala Moana Bowls. But his proudest accomplishments are off the competitive stage, marrying his wife, UFC fighter Kailin Curran, and raising their two beautiful children. Today, he’s giving back, with his knowledge, passion, and wisdom to the next generation of rippers as part of the Billabong family. We are honored to welcome to the show, Mr. Keanu Asing.

A conversation with Balaram "BAL" Stack Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week when not traveling and scoring waves, splits his time

between his home in New York and Winters on the Northshore. He is one of the

most creative aerialists out there as well as a hard charging barrel riding

extraordinaire. His talents were discovered at a young age by Quiksilver during a

summer surf camp and having early success on winning numerous amateur

contests and air shows. It was to no surprise that Quik would invest and send him

to Australia to train with legendary surf trainer “Mick Cain”. Results from training

hard and pure talent… he won the wildcard to compete at home in the 2011

Quiksilver Pro New York. With years of traveling and paying his dues in heavy

hollow waves in places like Mainland Mexico, Tahiti, Fiji, and winters in Hawaii,

he eventually made a name for himself in lineup at The Banzai Pipeline. You’ve

seen him on Youtube, or one of his films “Stacked" or "Hail Mary”, or maybe on Stab

Highway California and definitely on the podium winning the 2022 Van’s Pipe

Master, we welcome Balaram “BAL“ Stack.
