The End of The World (Surf League) As We Know It: “I Think It’s A Great Idea” – Ryan Callinan

It’s Not The Length Podcast is back as hosts Evans & Mondy reconvene to consider all things lockdown, shred & life.

Could this be the end of the World Surf League as we know it?

Mondy reached out to Ryan Callinan who doesn’t seem to think so, he’s excited about the new world title decider surf off format.

Your hosts aren’t so sure.

Meanwhile, we learn that Mondy’s efforts as part time freelance zero hours subcontractor co-scriptwriter on the WSL’s ‘Surf Breaks’ has landed him 1/12th of a Webby Award nomination, with the famously hard to please judging panel claiming some of the technical quality of the writing reminded them of Marcel Proust’s ‘In The Shadow of Young Girls In Flower’.

Impressive stuff.

Elsewhere, hot topics include Zoom pub quizzes, Ben body shaming Laird’s sagging rig, and female longboarders’ hang tens resembling ‘the girly tuck’.

Also, why does the Portuguese government hate the Malloys?

How did joint 2020 CT wildcard L Fioravanti’s juxtapose bad posture with female objectification?

What app did Mondy use to order edibles on dark web? What did he opt for, and how much was postage & packaging?

All this, and much more featured in the episode. Be sure to subscribe via your phone’s podcast app, or wherever it is you get your pods.
