Transcription:

Tim: Welcome back, listeners, to Episode 76 of the very warm, and hopefully motivating waters of Freedom Ocean. I am Timbo Reid, and over there, on the other li-lo, is…

James: James Schramko. It was almost like you were going to say my name that time.

Tim: I know. I wanted to say Jimmy James Schramko, I just kind of like the syntax of that, but I like kind of handballing over to you to introduce yourself.

James: Well, you’ve got like, the Timbo Reid thing.

Tim: I have, mate. You need the Jimmy James thing.

James: Yeah.

Tim: Lovely li-lo you’re on. Sort of a big pink pelican, giant pink pelican type setup.

James: You wouldn’t think they’d be that hydrodynamic, but it’s pretty much like they’ve got multiple concaves, just channeling the water between the tubes, so they can pretty much stay on track.

Tim: I want a photo, Jimmy, of you down at Manly…

James: On my pink pelican li-lo?

Tim: Yeah.

James: You know, I do ride a foamy sometimes, just for fun. That is actually like the uber-cool craze now, is to surf really well on one of those foam boards, like the surf school has, but a lot of them are using slightly shorter ones. The instructors,
