Water Sports Podcasts

Start here if you want to know what happened and what people make of it. Spit! - Surf Podcast pairs Scott Bass and David Lee Scales on surf-industry news and gossip. In 451 - Spit! March 25, 2026 they pick over a rejected bid for Rip Curl and whether a company with "salt in the building" can also please shareholders. One host concludes that combining the two is "really mixing oil and water." In 454 - Spit! April 18, 2026 one host says a surfer without priority who sits beneath a rival should expect to be paddled over, adding that he is "all for it as a coach." Sponsor reads thread through both episodes, so the opinions come with commerce attached.

The Ski Show - The Ultimate Show Ski Podcast covers show skiing, a smaller world with closer ties. Matt and Adam's 2024 Wisconsin State Recap works through the divisions, then welcomes the Mad City show directors with one host's frank aside: "These are our teammates. This is my son." The familiarity buys candour, as when Abby Kothe admits the team had more falls than it hoped for. The History of Sea World widens the lens. Its guests explain why professional ski shows are shrinking: insurance, salaries, and a park's ability to spread a ride's cost over years while a show must be paid for in the current year.

Kitesurf365 brings more mischief to kiteboarding. In From Big Air to Big Animation | The Megapod the race to 40 on twin tips is declared "officially over." The talk then drifts to a race to 50 and to plans for an animated satire billed as "the Simpsons of extreme sports."

Once the result is settled, interview shows take you to the people. This Ocean Life Podcast, hosted by Josh Pederson, stays close to conditions. Alo Slebir puts his Mavericks count at no fewer than 200 waves and no more than 500. The talk also turns to tow partnerships, which he says people liken to a divorce when they end. Shivani Goberdhan maps a three-day race from Huahine to Bora Bora and notes that women in the V6 had historically raced only one leg.

Inside the World of Duotone offers access with a logo on it. In #40 Pedro Matos - World Champion 2025 Matos remembers a round-three heat against Airton that "felt like a final," and telling himself to go for it in the last six minutes. It is a brand's own podcast, so expect admiration rather than challenge.

SUPfm The International Stand Up Paddle Board Podcast moves slowly and goes further. In 127: How Courage Crosses Oceans: One Woman’s Stand-Up Paddle for CF Awareness- With Rylee Walker, Walker, who lives with cystic fibrosis, describes preparing for the 82-mile crossing from Bimini to Lake Worth. She first paddled on the ocean over three days in Florida in March 2021. The 104-minute 138 : 10th Anniversary Edition - Racing, Adventure & What Comes Next - With SUPjunkie hands hosting to Sarah Thornley. In it, a capsize on a river trip opens into a careful conversation about whether to push on as the day gets late.

Podcast - SURF MASTERY's listed episodes stop in 2023, but they age well. Sir John Kirwan, introduced as a former All Black turned mental-health spokesperson, tells listeners "you've got to give the brain a break." Even a careers show wanders in. Career Buzz's What happens when a 7-year-old kid falls in love with the wind — and never lets go? has wing foil teacher Max Robinson describe a board with "an airplane literally attached underneath of it."

Some listening is homework. Paddle 2 Fitness is coached by Julian Norton-Smith. The 19-minute #67.Stop Spearing Your Paddle argues against the spearing cue in favour of a drop, with the blade entering at your feet. It offers images you can feel: bouncing a ball, spinning a yo-yo. In #65.Opening Up the coach sets technique aside to describe headaches that delayed the podcast and to urge men to open up.

Noob Spearo Podcast, hosted by Shrek, is rowdier and heavy on sponsor codes, but the teaching is careful. NSP:312 Depth Progression with Mark Davies from Karma Dives covers small, frequent equalising on each pull down the line. It also recalls a first 30-metre dive where the kick back up barely moved. In NSP:313 Tactical Breathing for Spearing and Life | Cindy Yang, Yang borrows "span of control" from the fire service to explain why she cannot give every student individual attention in a big group. Spearos who also fish can continue on the Fishing page.

Gear talk is best when it carries history. In Kitesurf365's R.I.P Peter Lynn | Forgotten Board Designs | TechCast | Episode # 433, a board designer traces the Orli-style twin-tip back to the Wipika Orli. He credits Franz Orli as one of the sport's originals and dwells on the board's soft, tucked surfboard rail. Paddling The Blue Podcast, hosted by John Chase, finds its best gear moment on a show floor. In #161 - Live from Canoecopia 2026 a paddle maker explains that the Tetra is moulded in one piece from pre-preg carbon and sewn together in a freezer.

That Canoecopia episode also points paddlers to shallow Lake Michigan shipwrecks, 10 to 15 feet down and marked by buoys, a neat bridge to the diving shows. DeeperBlue Podcast pairs news with interviews. One news item weighs a study linking shark attacks to the moon's phase while admitting there is not enough data to conclude that attacks happen during the full moon. Elsewhere, Isaac Daly describes 20 or 25 seconds on the seabed that still colour how Daly dives. Dive In: The Podcast is chattier. In "Nudi Girl" with guest Jenn Meisner, a born and raised Nova Scotian who realized diving meant more to her than she originally realized, Meisner describes diving the Shag Harbor UFO site. Her group's photos ended up in the museum as the first group of female divers to go down there. Both feeds' newest listed episodes date from 2022, so treat them as an archive.
