Living In Liquid

Jamie Mitchell

“About 71% of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5% of all Earth's water. The human body is made up of between 50% and 75% of water; this is Living In Liquid” Jamie Mitchell. Jamie Mitchell has carved his name in the chronicles of sporting history thanks to his unparalleled thirst to conquer global ocean swells. There is no other water-focused athlete in existence like Jamie; he is a true Renaissance Waterman. Australian-born and raised now living on the North Shore of Hawaii, Jamie has forged a deserved reputation as one of the world’s elite ocean athletes by pushing the limitations of human potential, always in the water.   Living In Liquid invites you to join Jamie, himself a relentless adventurer, as he traverses the vast, wonderous and mysterious world of water that embodies so much of our existence via the people whose lives revolve in, on, under and around it.  Going deep with fellow surfers, pearl divers, swimmers, fisher people, environmentalists, activists, cavers, paddlers and more, as he gets to the bottom of why people choose to spend their days, Living In Liquid. Jamie has previously host the Late Drop and The Big Wave Podcasts.

  1. Jack Bark - Going The Distance

    Jack Bark - Going The Distance

    This week’s guest is world-class paddleboarder Jack Bark, whose accomplishments have set a new benchmark for endurance ocean racing. In 2024, he made history at the Catalina Classic by breaking the long-standing course record and becoming the first and only person to complete the 32-mile crossing in under five hours. He is a two-time Molokai2Oahu champion in the stock division and has undertaken exceptional long-distance feats, including 77-mile and 100-mile open-water paddles.  Jack has also completed major channel crossings such as Australia’s notorious Bass Strait between Southern Australia and Tasmania and the Georgia Strait in Vancouver. Raised in the renowned Bark family, he is carrying on a family legacy built by watermen before him while forging his own path, establishing himself as one of the sport’s most accomplished modern watermen. The son of legendary paddler Joe Bark, Jack grew up with saltwater in his veins, transforming early days on the beach with his family into a career defined by grit, technical mastery, and a deep respect for the sea. Now, with each new crossing and competition, he continues to expand the Bark legacy; one stroke at a time. https://www.instagram.com/jackbark Production Credits: Host: Jamie Mitchell Executive Producer: Jamie Mitchell Executive Producer: Stacey Piggott Opening Song: 'Six Ways To Sunday' – The Drones Opening Edit: Aaron Cupples instagram.com/livinginliquidpodcast instagram.com/tropical_fuck_storm Hosted on Acast.

  2. Throwback Thursday - The Late Drop Lawrie Towner

    Throwback Thursday - The Late Drop Lawrie Towner

    Jamie caught up with Laurie in Dec 2021, for The Late Drop. When Billabong sent 19-year-old Laurie Towner to one of the scariest waves on the planet during a massive swell with top-shelf pros Andy Irons and Joel Parkinson in 2006, few expected the Angourie hell boy to actually step up to the plate — much less rule the whole field. While most of the crew spent the day getting towed into terrifying kegs at Shipstern’s Bluff, Laurie casually paddled into the bomb of the day — and cemented his reputation as a heavy-water star. Towner almost immediately switched from competing in pro contests to chasing big waves and backless slabs all over the world as a professional freesurfer for Billabong, resulting in XXL Awards, video parts and magazine covers galore. But the career of a daredevil can be a fickle one. Towner was only 25 when he lost his main sponsor despite nonstop accolades and countless brushes with death. It turned out to be blessing in disguise as he was able to focus on his young family while remaining a standout in historic swell events, from the Code Red Swell at Teahupo’o to the Thundercloud Reef sessions in Fiji. Now, with a fresh sponsor and a newfound focus on Jaws, Laurie Towner’s best may be yet to come.
