Dylan Longbottom is a professional surfer, craftsman, shaper, business owner, part-time stuntman, and most importantly a loving family man. Dylan has shown what he can do on water over the last three decades. From a stellar junior career to one of the best free surfers in the world, to a standout in the heaviest heaving slabs. Dylan literally has nothing left to prove. His passion and drive to progress the craft of surfboard shaping and design make him one of the most sought after shapers by professional surfers around the world. From fun beach break shortboards to big wave guns and tow boards, Dylan is constantly testing and refining his craft…and surfing every chance he gets. He has just returned from Desert Point in Lombok after a solid late-season swell hit Indonesia and he is currently preparing to travel to Nazare’ in Portugal to get amongst the northern hemisphere winter swells. In this week’s episode, Dylan is with me in his boardroom (AKA his shop in Berawa, Bali) to share his experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future.

You'll find a particular kind of honesty in the conversations on Terrible. Happy, a podcast that sounds like a late-night chat in a backyard after a long day at the skatepark. Host Shan sits down with a rotating cast of characters from the Australian skateboarding scene and beyond, but the talk rarely stays on just tricks and terrain. It naturally veers into the messy, funny, and deeply human stuff that happens off the board: the struggles with fitness, the odd jobs that pay the bills, the mental health ups and downs, and the pure, alternative comedy of everyday life. This isn't a polished production; it's the raw audio of community, capturing the specific voices and stories that make this culture tick. Listeners will hear genuine interviews that feel more like catching up with an old mate, punctuated by the occasional chaos of THT Radio segments. It’s about finding the connection and the laughter in the grind, whether that's on four wheels or just trying to get through the week. The result is a uniquely Australian show that’s less about sports commentary and more about the shared, sometimes terrible, often happy reality of the people within it.
