RABBIT TALES

With 1978 world champion Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew

Stuck at home? Feeling isolated? Practising your social distancing but desperate for a sense of connection, a dose of surf stoke and a good laugh?

Then, pull up a pew, gather round and let Uncle Bugs transport you to a world of uncrowded Gold Coast pointbreaks, sparring for the wave of the day with Michael Peterson and Peter Townend, cutting your teeth in the brutal boiling pot of Hawaii’s North Shore, or duking it out for glory on the fledgling pro tour against Mark Richards and Shaun Tomson.

Rabbit is surfing’s greatest raconteur and, in the time of a crisis, it’s the age-old magic of story-telling which can bring us together, soothe frayed nerves and create a sense of community even when we are all isolating in our own homes.

So, to help you through COVID-19 lockdown and social isolation, Rabbit will be holding court, talking story and riffing through a kaleidoscope of great surf adventures in a weekly new podcast, Rabbit Tales.

“It’s hard to be locked down at home and not be able to go out and I thought it might be a good idea to tell a few Rabbit Tales,” the 1978 world champion said. “If people are at home twiddling their thumbs we’ve just got to break the boredom and hopefully a few stories from the vault might help.”

Joined by award-winning writer and co-author of his best-selling biography Bustin’ Down The Door, Tim Baker, Rabbit Tales will delight and inspire surfers of all ages, sweeping you up in Rabbit’s infectious enthusiasm and ageless surf stoke.

Sponsored and produced by the Surfboard Warehouse, Australia’s largest surfboard retailer, as a public service to the surfing community, Rabbit Tales will be available in video and audio form on all the usual platforms.
