Todays guest is the "Post Heat Guru" none other than the "Surf Coach of the Stars"... Yes!!!! Im talking about Stace Galbraith! The Core-st of the surf nerds, a Podcaster, a student of the game.. like no other, he specializes in heat strategies and preparation.. and he grew up around some of the biggest names in surf. Names like Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Paul Fisher, Mitch Crews and Jack Freestone. Stace got his start doing mach heats with his friends and volunteering at the local surf contests to judge heats. Its plane and simple....Stace is absolutely surf crazed and he know his shit. Working with todays top athletes, stace has been on a slow burn to the main stage...where we saw a fresh faced Stace, doing sideline "Post Heat" interviews for the 4 stops of the Australian leg of the World Tour. Stace caught his stride and was a delight on the broadcast plus he really got the surfers to open up with his detailed and in depth questions. Staces Face may be new to the WSL broadcast, but if your a Surf Podcast fan, you already know that silky smooth voice of his. Him and fellow surf addicted maniac, Michael Ciaramella. are two surf nuts that do a Podcast for STAB Mag called CUSP. These guys go deep and they fallow the World Tour of Surfing closely and discuss all the nuance the tour has to over...plus everything else surf related that comes their way....I highly recommend it! We checked in with Stace all the way over there to Australia, the Gold Coast to be exact. It was a great chat, or as he calls it.. a "Chin Wag". We got to know Stace a bit more and got some backstory. This guy lives, breathes and eats surfing! He's a consumer! And about as Australian as it gets...I even quizzed him with my new segment of the show called...."DO YOU SPEAK AUSTRALIAN" where I quiz native Australians with their own "Witty" Slang and Phrases to see how well they know their own species. Plus we have a bonus section... YEW Online Correspondent and Olympic Anonnouncer of the stars...Mr. CHRIS COTE....... A true professional of All action sports... calls in to give us an update on the Olympic qualifying event that he was a part of in El Salvador...and give us insight on the event. This is was an action packed episode with 2 true professionals behind the microphone. Heres my conversation with Stace Galbraith and Chis Cote. Enjoy!
