Crest Podcast Ep24 - Pete Jones, Part Two

Last week it was becoming PJ - and now it's about being PJ. Hands up if you remember that surfline! Listen as PJ tells Tom and Rhino how he went about creating his seminal surf report service, about growing the surf shop and brand and about the rest of life's journey to where we are now. This candid discussion includes a haunting account of life-threatening injury, as well as plenty more of Pete's trademark lyrical praise for the sheer joy of surfing as both an action and a way of life. Plus the obligatory debate about the state of modern surfing. Who's his favourite surfer to watch nowadays? You'll never guess it...

This is the finale of Crest's first season. Thanks to each and every listener, and we can't wait to bring back more of the same in Spring 2021.
