Tappa sits down with surfing legend Andrew “Andy Mac” McKinnon. From his first wave at Mermaid Beach to mixing it with the best on the world stage, Andy takes us on a wild ride through the golden era of Aussie surfing. Hear about the board evolution arms race, life-changing sessions in Hawaii, behind-the-scenes chaos at the 1972 World Championships, and his long-time rivalry (and friendship) with the great Michael Peterson.

But it doesn’t stop at the shoreline—Andy shares jaw-dropping travel tales (including a three-piece suit con job to get home), how he fell into radio, and the accidental birth of a cult vegetarian café. He also opens up about his lifelong mission to protect the ocean, and how he literally helped move a freeway to save the land he loves.

A must-listen for surf nerds, environmental warriors, and anyone who’s ever paddled out with a dream.
