This week on the podcast we welcome a true surfing pioneer and one of the sports all time great's in South African Shaun Tomson.  Recognised and revered the world over for his exploits in the ocean, it may well be his work outside of the water, that will have an even greater impact on the generations to come.  Tune in this week to find out why and perhaps you too could unlock your 'code&...

This week on the podcast we welcome a legend of Australian Rugby League in Chris Anderson to the shed.  The opportunity to sit, listen and learn from a man who dedicated over 50's years to the game and ticked just about every box along the way, was a rare privilege.   Chris's ability to get the best out of himself and the individuals/teams in which he coached was legendary and his honest...

This week on the Ball & All Podcast we welcome Tom Wolff - north coast local & founder of 'Revive the Northern Rivers'.   From an early age, Tom has always been at home in nature, whether that be trail guiding in Tasmania, his work with Outward Bound or cycling from Alaska to the bottom of Mexico (a lazy 10,000km).  Since returning home, Tom and his partner decided more could be...

When it comes to modern surf coaching, no name is more respected or highly regarded than Phil McNamara.   Quite simply, if you are a coach (at any level), an athlete or a parent then there is something to be learned from Phil's hard won philosophy on coaching and life in general.  As always we would like to thank the people who make this podcast possible Lennox Pizza and Pasta - The best pizz...

This week on the Ball & All Podcast, welcome Sarah Rosborg, North Coast local and the founder and directer of Kenyan Children's Charity, Rafiki Mwema.  Up until 2005, Sarah's life was much like most on the Northern Rivers, however a chance trip to volunteer at a Kenyan Children's home followed by a horrific car accident one week later,  changed the course of her life forever.  T...

What a privilege to have Liz Osborne in the shed this week.  A highly accomplished Mental Health Nurse and a single mum to 5 children, Liz has lived a truly incredible life punctuated with the highest of highs and some truly devastating lows.   Her ability to pick herself up off the canvass is testament to the indomitable strength of her character and we hope you glean just as much wisdom as we di...

When it comes to champion human beings on the Northern Rivers, few come close to the contribution made by this weeks guest Col Lee OAM.   Whether it be fire, flood or any number of initiatives aimed at bettering the lives of those within our community, Col and his legendary wife Julie can usually be found at the forefront drumming up support or bringing likeminded people together to 'get shit...

Gunther Rohn is a Master Craftsman in the Surfboard Industry having shaped over 50,000+ boards across the last 5 decades. His incredible insight into the history of shaping along with the finite details of 'what it takes to shape a board' is unmatched in the industry.  Join Condo, Woody and Special Guest/Master Communicator Vaughan Blakey, in a journey from Nose to Tail, where the boys d...

The worlds greatest 'Second Opinion Guy' Stace Galbraith joins us for an extremely insightful and analytical scope into the development strategies for the next generation of surfers. A Humble Surf Coach, a Mentor, a Second Opinion Guy, the newly appointed Quiksilver Team Manager- What cant the guy do? Dive into the mind of a pure surf fanatic and absolute master of the psychology behind...

Vision, perseverance and an uncanny ability to think outside the box, have made Lennox head local, Daniel 'Tomo' Thompson into one of the most sought after surfer/shapers in the industry.   With a shaping bay in the childhood backyard and surfing luminary George Greenough for a mentor, Tomo has both drawn on the influences of his past as well as cutting edge science to design boards that...

Let's face it, raising kids is bloody hard at the best of times and rarely is there a hard and fast manual for how to do it.  This week however, we're incredibly fortunate to welcome the closest thing to that in Dr Justin Coulson - co-host and parenting expert on Channel 9's "Parental Guidance", the founder of happyfamilies.com.au, bestselling author/podcaster and one of A...

This week on the Ball and All podcast we are incredibly fortunate to welcome Barney Miller to the shed.  The word 'inspirational' gets thrown around a lot but when legends like Mick Fanning & Andy King look to this bloke in moments of struggle, you can be certain that Barney possesses some innate qualities that are pretty bloody rare.  Barney was only 20yrs old, when his dreams of be...

From 9 years playing 'Sam Marshall' on the set of Home & Away, to countless rescues apart of the team at Bondi Rescue, to the chilly waters of the English Channel - it is fair to say this weeks guest Ryan 'Whippet' Clarke has crammed a lot into his 39 years.  However for all that he has achieved as an actor, lifeguard, family man and successful business owner, Whippet is bo...

This week on the Ball & All Podcast, we go 'Around the Grounds' and  bring you up to speed with all that has been happening over the past 6 weeks.  From Barnesy & his Bluesfest Super-spreader's to Woody's appendicitis, it is fair to say things have not been dull.  Kick back, relax and enjoy and we look forward to bringing you some cracking guests in the upcoming weeks....

The wait is over folks.   Here is the recording of our podcast Mick Fanning and Andy King Live at the Cherry St Sports Club in aid of Northern Rivers Flood Relief.  Words really can't do the night justice in terms of the energy, support and generosity that was on show by all who attended and supported from afar.  From our incredible guests, to the Boaty Boys mammoth Goggins effort, to the phe...

This week on the Ball and All podcast, we bring you our chat with Benny Berry - a genuinely selfless bloke, who in many ways became the reluctant face and voice for so many during the initial stages of the flood crises in Lismore and the surrounding areas.  With a career spent in varying rescue service roles both within the government and private sector, Benny is uniquely placed to provide insight...

This week on the Ball and All podcast, we bring you our best of compilation for 2021.   Many thanks go out to our sound & audio genius Louis Muller for pulling this all together, without his help we'd honestly be up the proverbial without a paddle.  And a huge thank you to all of our loyal listeners who have so patiently put up with our dribble in order to hear the laugh out loud tales &a...

This week on the Ball and All Podcast, we welcome back local legend Adam 'Mello' Melling for a quick catch up on all things sport, including LeBa's 4th place finish at the Australian Boardrider's Battle and we go in depth on the age defying results of legends Slater, Nadal and Brady and detail what separates each of them in the pantheon of the all time greats.  Furthermore, we...

After a bit of a hiatus due to Xmas Holidays, Covid infections and our Instagram being hacked by some Bitcoin donkey, we are finally back in the shed with the Head Coach of the Fiji Drua, Mick Byrne.  What Mick has achieved both as a player and a coach across three footballing codes is flat out ridiculous.  (Below is a small snapshot of his career).   Tune in this week to hear one of the most insi...

What do Owen Wright, Adam Melling, Nick Meaney, Connor O'Leary, Stuart Kennedy and Berrick Barnes all have in common?  They've all spent vast periods of their careers training under the tutelage of Exercise Physiologist and Goju Ryo Karate (5th Dan Sensei) expert Pete Roberts in his garage in Lennox Head.   For a tiny garage, in a small Northern NSW town, that is a phenomenal record.  Wh...

When you first meet David Moreira a few things stand out - for starters he is calm and measured in everything he does, secondly his size (think Jockey on the first at Randwick) tricks you into thinking you may have a chance against him on the mat (trust me you don't) and lastly he is possibly the most humble bloke you're likely to come across.   For a guy who only moved to Australia a fe...
