Luke’s Lounge, built and sustained by Riptide Media, aims to sit down and talks all things bodyboarding.
With everyone from famous industry heavy-hitters, the Pro's you know and the average crew who's making a local boog flick with their mates.
Hosted by Cronulla's Luke O'Connor, This is Lukes Lounge, ladies and gentlemen.
Underground and over achieving, Adam Kesbah is the Boog you may not know currently but certainly will soon enough. From 10ft Victorian pits to crashing cars into picketed Sydney fences, he’s already lived a colourful life at the young age of 26 and there is so much left in the locker room for this curly haired cat to exude in his own future endeavours. Sitting down for episode 67, Luke and Adam go deep on a range of topics, covering the pursuit of booging whilst on a shoe string budget, taping up blown out knee’s on cone honing missions on the bottom of Australia and how it was making his pilgrimage from West to East as an inspiring grommet via public transport. All in all a wild chat that was a real journey with a real life journeymen. Peace n love ☮️
Episode 81 on the lounge welcomes one of Tasmania’s most talented exports, Hobart’s local male model and all round good cunt, Cohen Thomas to the air waves. Cohens recent feats in waves of pure consequence have been internationally recognised over the last few years, and it was about goddam time the boog community got to hear what makes the man tick. In this conversation Cocco and Luke touch on eventful moments in the SA desert, his recent trip to the east coast of Oz, how it was competing in the Shark Island Challenge and what his best and worst experiences have been out his local slab, Shipsterns Bluff. Enjoy ya bunch of legends ☮️
Episode 79 of Luke’s verbal journaling features good friend and master digital creator, Steve “Big George” Wall. Sifting through each others shared past experiences, Steve and Luke talk in length about pilgrimages to the Australian Desert, how it’s been for Steve relocating himself to Iceland and what it was like becoming the industry’s top photographer as the boog world started to go into decline. Steve is also currently in a fight to save a local Icelandic wave from greedy capitalistic over development and he goes into length in the last 20 minutes of this poddy describing how that is trending. One for the ages this conversation, hope you enjoy 🙏
