Wow thank you so much Sam stoked you like it.
How can you not love this guy 🤩
Thank yeew.
i'm going to tell a story about Barton & Kingsley Looker. In 1983, i went to watch one day of the Southside Open at North Cronulla. The surf was terrible onshore close outs and Larry Blair won the trials that day doing zig zag turns in the foam to the beach. But on two consective waves, the first was Kingsley . He looked exactly like Cheyne Horan (colored wetsuit, board & blonde hair) and surfed a wave to the beach right in front of us and did a layback into a small shorebreak barrel on a Lazor Zap. It looked really cool. But is was Barton i have never forgot. Barton grovels a wave towards the beach and then there is a 1 foot (face) left lining up across the shore. Barton is eyeing this left. I can see Barton eyeing this left. I can read Barton's mind. I think to myself, there is no way a surfer can get across this little gutless feathering onshore left across the sand. Its impossible. This little left is for a motorized toy surfer toy. But Barton does these pumps and flies across this tiny one foot high gutless left. I'd never and have never seen a surfer surf so fast and surf so long across such a gutless tiny piece of wave. I never forget this. It takes so much finess & talent to be able to surf such a tiny wave with so much speed & flow.That was the first time I ever saw Barton Lynch surf (apart from photos in the mags). Blew my mind; even though it was a 1/2 foot wave.
Amazing story Barbarra I remember that event and the low quality of the waves, and really appreciate hearing your thoughts on my surfing that day. The small waves were definitely an area I focussed on with so many of the events in average waves back then.
Appreciate you sharing it, thanks again.
Don’t let them “dull your shine.” Great advice!
Never, thank you.
Love this show.
Thank yeew for tuning in.
Well done👏
Absolutely love your podcast boys so much information and brings back so many memories ,keep up the fantastic work .
Thanks for watching Tony.
This episode is my favorite so far. Really good stuff! I feel like all the whingers out there should should talk story with zeke lau. NOBODY gets blatantly burned like zeke! Its like zeke is paying off the misdeeds of past brown skinned hawaiian pros like sunny, johnny boy, bird mahelona, marvin foster etc. But he just keeps right on smiling. Never bitches or crys.
Also super stoked for seth boy, such a compelling little story of triumph and re-qualification with doug silva in his corner, someone ive always liked. Anyway thanks BL and PK for your unique insights into this sport we all love!
Thank you mate stoked you feel that way and enjoyed it.
Interesting and varied content. The talk about Jeff McCoy was well warranted and showed 'tribal respect'. I think Cheyne Horan was the best ambassador for the Lazer Zaps and his surfing showed the world what the boards could do. The footage from Fiji was ridiculous, your description of the wave and the hand gestures and movements showed the stoke in seeing someone get the wave of their life! Cheers
Thanks for watching Andrew and stoked you enjoyed it. Gotta alot of respect for Cheyno.
Well done respecting Geoff McCoy. I swear by his boards. Only last month, he sent out a stepup to South Africa for me. Shipping cost me more than the board but 100% worth it. Same for all the boards he shipped to South Africa for me, worth every penny as they last decades.
Thank you for watching and I agree, great builder of amazing boards and an innovator.
The interview w/KS was top notch. Was cool to hear about his biz ventures over the yrs and his thoughts vs reactions. Enjoyed this as well with the progression rationale around the ending. The single fin story skipping twin was interesting. As well as the whole transformation. I started surfing in 88 so I was only knowing thrusters and long boarders being out of favor mostly.
Thanks for watching my shows, stoked you found us.
Great tribute to Geoff McCoy and also accurate tribute to Cheyne Horan. Per time & place, my 1979 McCoy was the best board I ever rode.
Stoked you liked it.
Such a great podcast. Loved hearing my comment read out. One more request as someone recently diagnosed with coronary artery disease, would love to hear Barton talk on his heart attack and how his chat with Kai Garcia saved Kai when he realised he was having the same symptoms. Be lovely to know what’s possible post heart attack and you’re both still ripping. 👊🏼
Amazing idea mate, its a good story for sure and will tell it next podcast. So sorry to hear about your coronary situation and hope you kick it and are as good as ever Raff. Thanks again for watching and joining the convo.
@@barton_lynch Doing good cheers ! Had a rough year for sure but on the come back trail. Defo inspiration knowing that post heart stuff you’re still charging many many years later. Don’t expect this shit in your 40s and fit ! Anyways big love n respect 💪🏽
PK was a ripper in his prime. We need to see footage of him surfing,!
Yes he was and yes we do, thanks for watching.
Barton looks like a castaway on an island with great waves and he carved a board out of driftwood with a shell and never left until China bought the island and booted him. Just kidding Father Time, love the podcasts, just subscribed. Keep the stoke, you’re a true original, a great interviewer, and I’m stoked you’re still around and staying relevant in the mix. Much respect brother 🌴🌊🏄🏼🌋🤙🏼🤙🏼
Much respect right back to you mate and thank you for the kind words, i actually feel like a castaway most days ha. Thanks for subscribing.
Another great Stoked Bloke Show , Rip Geoff.....I have a Lazzer Zap stashed in the rafters of my garage shaped by Geoff for... "Snowy" , who is Snowy ?? Barton don't forget why we love Nick Kyrgios with his under arm serve !!! brilliant strategy . I'd love to see you interview Derek Hynd , he has always drawn different lines over the decades of his surfing ,360's and of course his innovations with his finless creativity ........cheers
Thanks Rich, stoked you tuned in again.
Clay marzo does more manuovers than anyone.the most innovative surfer on the planet,he is like the modern version of buttons.
!00% I agree completely, he is my favourite surfer
Barton, you're so spot on about "moving on" and not letting anyone dull your shine. That's wisdom and you have it my friend. I tend to revert into "analyst" mode (habit from a previous life) and I start looking at things in a mechanical manner. Best to have your approach and just let things go me thinks. I'm still striving there.
And wow, the Pupo moment really did tug at the ol heart strings. Coulda been a tear or two but I'll never admit it.
And another great/bittersweet and "sad" moment was watching Sally contemplate having just lost her spot on tour. She took a few moments in the water, washed and wiped her face, and as if she flipped a switch to transform from regular person to consummate pro on cue she turned around all smiles for the groms, proceeded to hand out high fives and have them all play rock paper scissors for her jersey, which she promptly handed over. What a beautiful soul she is. Love Sally so much.
Last but not least I don't actually believe in reincarnation but if I did I'd want to come back to live a life where I get to go watch Erin shred for a week in Fiji. Either as Peter...or maybe a dolphin or something. 😏
Thanks Lamar always enjoy your comments and contribution to the channel, Thanks again.
Nicky Wood and your mate Kingsley Looker rode McMcoy and Kingsly for a while rode Lazor Zap. Oh... you brought him up...
Yep
Barton would be referring to the 1979 Stubbies. There is a video on CZcams called "Stubbies Contest 1979". Its has some clips of MR and Cheyne but not in the Final.
Great show
Thanks
I had a Scroff blaster in the 80s shaped just like the lazer. That thing was a blast, going up snapping under the lip, those were the days.
Those were the days.
Watching Barton at sunset with that beard was epic... fucking awsome
Haa flapping in the trade wind.
AWESOME !!
Thank yeew.
Ledgend Barton put in the work and you’ll the true surf Guru of interviews and surfing character of the you “tube “
Amazing mate thank you very much for the respect and tuning in with me.
Can't get enough for you and PK mate, good show. Great way to put it, def not coming down or losing my buzz to the salmon heading upstream. Hey, speaking of Jon R., did Rick Isbell sell his piece of Tavi ?? There was chat that he had so...hope the future brings competition and "judging" that rewards surfing both rights and lefts at that country event . Quite the spot🤙🏼
Yeah I dont know about Rick and the land sorry.
@@barton_lynch thanks B
Bringing up Clay Marzo. Pull some strings and get him a wildcard in Tahiti ❤
If i could I would for sure, Love Clay.
1970-71 England, Micky Mac from Brookvale shaped me a 6` 0``x 23`` x2`` wide point 24`` up from tail. He really didn`t want to but needing the work so he did. All the best to every one. 😊
Epic, thanks for sharing Tony, my first custom board ever was a single fin Hot Roc shaped by Micky Mac.
@@barton_lynch Didn`t think he could shape for goofy foots 🙂
@@tonyjono2148 He wasnt racist haaa
Hey, was does John Rosen wear his leg rope on his front foot?
Yeah good question, I have no idea.
Kingsley Looker the real estate agent! He’s still singing and playing the piano, little soft around the edges now and not surfing that much but a lovely guy. Made plenty of bank flicking houses around Manly, that’s for sure.
Yes Kingsley was always a hard worker from day 1 whether in surfing or sales but a real talented performer on the board and the keys.
Ryan Callaghan does that layback on the regular
Yep 100%
Great show fellas hey BL were can I get one of those hat's in Australia
Thanks Gary stoked you liked it and I dont think you can get them in OZ, they dont sell them and they are promo gear for A New Earth Project.
Thanks for the content. I concur with PK. Slater is going nowhere as long as Cloudbreak, Pipe and Tahiti are on tour.
Yep fair call id say, thanks for watching.
really, even though the John vs Gabriel heat was very close, Gabriel's best wave had very vertical & fast surfing. While it was very close, I think due to having the best wave, Gabriel should have been judged the winner. I think there is something amiss with the judging criteria. Surfing is becoming more horizontal because the judges are rewarding cutbacks instead of verticalness.
G'day Barton, What are your thoughts on if the WSL is locked in on this Trestles rubbish, having the world title decided on the surfers individual merits/contest results from the events throughout the year and then the Trestles comp could be to decide the top 5 seedings for the following year. It would mean the world title is won or lost in the traditional fashion but the final five could be an interesting concept post world title to simply set seedings for the following sessions. Thoughts?
Love the podcast/show mate. Thanks for so many laughs and honest talk.
Thank you Chris, yeah I think they are stuck on the crappy trestles final five idea and agree with you the format has merit as entertainment but not to decide the world title.
Roseman on his 1,000,000th perfect left barrrel makes us all think about the 90's. PK, Where was Steve Baker? 🤙....Ask Randy Lind about towing in with Gerry Lopez whether he wanted to or not 20 years ago at Cloudbreak! What a story. Poor Tony Ray, another lame Kelly story, keep up the great work Barton.
Thanks for watching Phil and yeah he has a gazzilion hey, lucky bugger right place right time for a longtime.
Why so short of an episode? We need longer podcasts with more in depth heat analysis and comments!!!
Keep em punchy mate, keep demand through lack of supply haa only joking mate, we dont time them and we just do what flows and feels right. Stoked you want more, thanks.
Luke Egan won the land at J-Bay.
Thank yeew
Was it not Luke Egan that won a plot at JBay?
Yes maybe you are right, I couldnt remember but yes that sounds right.
PK always on it.
Always 100%
How much better was the commentary with Ronnie, Vaughan, Richie and Spencer Waxhead cracking jokes and spilling beans on insider knowledge?
Great announcement for Aus with Snapper back as a WCT the waves pumped, the legends heat brought a fun spirt but Fisher with his phallic board ( two pumps and it was over) was an indication that WSL is semi resErected again in bringing surfer stoke and appeal to the real fans again.
And then there’s Flick and her laughter 🤢
Richie Lovett must go. He comes off as a salesman. And Flick has no insights to add.
The whole team is currently unlistenable. They spend every single minute of the broadcast trying to convince us how so absolutelty amazingly incredible everything is.
Joe and Pottz and Ronnie and Ross Williams.
Yeah they had worked their way into the groove for sure and snapper fired. Thank you for tuning in mate.
!!!
Wilson and peter king
Thanks for tuning in.
going left BL at MR was herd mentality
Eagan won land at Jay bay
so is only going right
Miss yall!! ❤🏴☠🤙🏼, Shane should get checks from every foil company in the world!!
Miss you too mate hope you are great.
Another gret pocast guys, I'm with you in your dislike of the cup off. I find it hard to believe that the WSL are that devoid of ideas that the only way they can make a jeopardy situation is by cutting nealy half the surfers?? Doesn't even let the new guys hit their stride. Very weak by the WSL.........................
100% and thank you for sharing and watching Shay
The only way to really make surfing exciting again and surfers taking risk would be to change the format of competition. Why not surfer is allowed 4 heats of 15mins, no elimination and sum of scores wins? Surfers would risk so much more and constant entertainment
Yes mate we need a format change for sure and I have some ideas on that front.
@@barton_lynchi really believe if we dont change format, pro suring will die or be reduced to minimal relevance. Not sure most surfers and fans are aware of the urgency...i might sound pessimist, but its my feeling
@@pedrobarata3043 Yes mate I tend to agree with you, thanks for tuning in.
I sure hope Gabe is watching your shows and taking in all the love, because I'd hate to see him quit
Thanks for tuning in.
The judging issues are issues that seem to creep in many discussions by surfing heavy weights. Most of it is all grievances. I grief myself. Shouldn't it be a first step to settle into what good surfing is within a framework of competitive sports. I don’t think this is clear. Being that the case we, and the competitors themselves, feel victimized or emboldened by opinionated scores. Large audiences feel the same way. It will be impossible to satisfy everyone. Thus, the goal can only be to minimize the noise. Most sports are into the athletic merit and less into the ballerina performance because a sport is a sport and not ballet. Also, the size of the wave is getting more credit than the surfing itself.
For sure there is the luck factor for surfers of that level
Yes Yuri thanks for tuning in mate and I agree completely that the size of the wave is more important than what is actually done, and wave selection is currently the most important element but that needs to change.
Perhaps, scoring the size of the wave is part of the anti-brasilian trend. The Brazilian trend is very much into the athletic achievement side of things. Scoring the size of the wave gives an anti-sporting chance to get away with a score to those who underperform in the athletic side of things as in giving a chance to the ballet dance to beat the sport.
@@yurimendez5987 That is a very good call mate and is a reason that someone can beat anyone if they get the better waves and gives the less progressive a chance, thanks for sharing that perspective Yuri
Please don’t do an episode about vaccines. Like we all know your position but you may never get yourself out from under the topic.
People will be playing the anti-vaccine, Trump loving card forever more. The best thing about your show is it gives us information.
Everybody has an opinion now and it’s divided surfing. Let Fox divide everyone. 🙏
I am out and never was under the topic, the vaccines are a very small part of the major issues facing democracy around the globe and so it wouldnt be about vaccines, it would be about the problems that corporate politics are enforcing on the unsuspecting public and the chinafication of the western world. And we are about unity but it has to be based in truth and there is not much of that around today. Thanks for contributing to the convo.
@@barton_lynch fair enough.
