The return of the World Surf League Championship Tour means one thing. Our most esteemed and favourite guest is back!

Listen to "Ep 54 - Stoked On The Return Of The WSL, Featuring A Kiwi Surfing Icon" on Spreaker.

One rainy Sunday the Stoked Podcast tripped out over the Waitakere Ranges to the home of New Zealand surfing royalty and WSL CT head priority judge, Iain 'Ratso' Buchanan.

Ratso was good enough to field our barrage of questions on the season ahead and namely tell us how 2019 is already New Zealand's most successful year of professional surfing ever. Yeah, we know it's only April - how good!?

He also dropped a wild hint on some big changes coming for the future of professional surfing in New Zealand - you'll want to hang around till the end for that. Stay Stoked!

In case you didn't know we're actually coming at you with episode 54 of the series, (we know you knew, you're an intelligent Stoked listener). If this one tickles your fancy you can catch the backlog on Apple podcasts here, and iHeartRadio here.
