by Riptide Media
listen to the extended version of our intro, whipped up by our bro Fountainhead. This really hits hard in the nostalgic feels.
When you’re willing to sleep on the beach at pipe for 6 weeks straight due to accom falling through and you’ve owned and operated a bodyboarding company for the last decade your a real candidate to take a seat on Luke’s Lounge, and that’s exactly what unfolded. Pulling up a chair with Michael Ostler in his recently rented retail shop on the Main Street of Caringbah was seriously over due and an absolute time of it was had between the two as they physically sat across from one another chewing the fat and yarning about old times. They covered the Handpicked brand journey, unbearable living conditions experienced whilst on surf trips and how Michael as never received a free board off Rossi (handpicks shaper extraordinaire). Lekker bru’s 👌 Side note: Anyone who signs up to Riptide Premium from the 15th of March to the 15th of April goes in the draw to win a Handpicked custom shaped in their new store based in the shire. Giddy up
STOP THE PRESS - Port Macquarie’s unofficial mayor and the people’s champion, Damien King, lends Luke 30 mins of his time to explain the current redevelopment plan for the famous Town Beach Breakwall and how the elected state government officials are trying to force it down the local communities throat whilst ignoring the professional advice from the third parties who were employed to survey and report on the structures stability and longevity. This intense discussion covers the origin of the project, the notification to the public, the procurement processes undertaken by the state government and the pending nature of the situation as community outrage continues to spill over into the streets of this iconic North Coast haven.
