Life of Brian

This week Brian and Harrison are joined by Jesse Taylor (youngest of the Taylor boys). They discuss their opinions of having weddings on public holidays, particularly one that is coming up for them on NYE (no mercy was shown). BT talks through his new role on Thursday Nights with Seven, plus his current fitness/health kick.

Next, the boys are joined by one of the world's best surfboard shapers, Darren Handley. Darren, runs and owns 'DHD Surf', which creates performance surfboards for the some of the best athletes on the planet, including; Stephanie Gilmore, Mick Fanning, Owen Wright, Ethan Ewing and Molly Picklum. Growing up on the beaches of Kirra QLD, as a young boy, he dreamt of becoming a professional surfer, that dream didn't fully eventuate, however, he was destined to aid some of the best surfers in the world become World Champions. Through is passion and desire to create high quality surfboards, he has chased perfection in his designs. It is Darren's ability to form strong relationships and establish a collaborative environment that sets him apart. The conversation goes deep into the relationship between a shaper and the surfer, the details behind the manufacturing process, life on the WSL tour, his passion for the Carlton Football Club and much more. We thank Darren for his time.
