Episode 159 of the UK Surf show. On this episode, Mitch and Pete talk about their recent surf sessions with some famous names dropped in. Also, we discus boards and equipment as well as it being Mitch's 100th episode on the podcast. Also, apologies for Mitch's audio in this. He may or may not have forgot to press record on his recorder when we started this episode. So the audio is ripped off of a camera. All that said, we hope you enjoy this episode.
