In this episode Matt speaks to the author of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2016. WILLIAM FINNEGAN has written about a life in surfing in BARBARIAN DAYS. It stretches from the 1950s in Hawaii when this was just a fringe pursuit, through the 60s and 70s as William goes in search of the perfect wave and then he watches uncomfortably as his passion is embraced by the mainstream. He talks about the toll surfing has taken on him, the secretive world of codes and what he loves about this sport. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Twitter @SportsBookPod
