Travis and I walk the elevated driveway to the legendary Peter Joli Wilson's residence. Perched atop a hill, we overlook the distant waters of the Gold Coast. "Please, come in," Joli greets us and invites us in. I've never done a podcast before!" He smiles as we sit at the family dining table. "Don't worry, mate," I reply. I've done a few."

Joli as he prefers to be called is in the upper echelon of Australian Surf Photography, a good friend of previous guest Ted Grambeau, he's credited as a pioneer in the industry. With over four decades of experience, this is an episode full of learnings and not to be missed. From tales of photographing my favourite surfer Kelly Slater, how the industry has changed, to being subscripted into the Vietnam war, there's not too many topics we didn't cover. We conversed for over two hours so I've made this episode into a two-parter.
