Nic Von Rupp is a big wave surfer from Portugal.

After finding success on the WQS Nic decided to devote himself to chasing the best waves in the world.

Jimmy & Cahill caught up with Nic while he was dockside in Portugal for an enlightening chat with one of the most humble and understated surfers around.

We chat about Nic's exploits chasing waves in Indonesia for his epic movie Reef Road, in addition to his growing reputation paddling into spots like Nazare and Mullaghmore.

We talk about his transition away from the WQS and his origins tackling big waves in Portugal.

An interesting conversation with a surfer that's chosen his own path.

This episode will kiss you where it feels good.

Cahill and Jimmy sit down to chat through the year that's has been in surfing. They look at contests, performances, cultural events, guests, movies and clips.  Jimmy also chats about his shark encounter that happened the day this episode was recorded.

Lipped has always been designed to have a conversational tone, like relaxing on the couch and chatting over a few cold beers with your mates and this episode was exactly that. Two mates sitting down and chatting about surfing over a few beers.

The boys also break down the Pipe contest and take a look at their (likely terrible) Fantasy teams. Don’t forget to get a team into the Lipped Podcast Group on WSL Fantasy surfer for your chance to win a LEUS Towel.

Massive thanks to all of you that have made this year so epic!

Neil Ridgeway is the Chief Brand and Marketing Officer at Rip Curl and along with Andy Higgins and Brooke Farris was responsible for bringing together the revolutionary Rip Curl Search WCT Events that set the benchmark for exploratory surf contents at an elite level.

Starting at the legendary left hander St Leu on Reunion Island and holding events in Mexico, Chile, Portugal, Bali and San Francisco between 2005 and 2011 - the events created some of the most legendary moments in pro surf history.

We discuss the origins of Rip Curl's Search as well as why the idea of turning it into an event was such a controversial decision within the brand.  We discuss the highlights, lowlights and challenges of running events in different places each year and finish off by looking at the future of events, including wave pools, in the context of the legacy of the Search events.

I fascinating insiders perspective on some of the coolest events in the history of pro surfing - this episode will kiss you where it feels good.
