Episode 155 - Did Fiji Flop? Our Honest Review Of The WSL Finals Day.

What did you think of the WSL Finals day at Fiji? Overhyped? Better than before? Glad to see it gone, you tell us... and we will tell you.

Listen in and hear our thoughts on the build up, hype, commentators, the waves, the surfers and more!

We review the day alongside the final 5's years in general. Molly was clearly surfer of the year, but who let us down. A surfer called Spursy, can you guess who?

On top of this, stick around to hear about Darren's wild run in with Storm Erin and why he almost needed an air ambulance!

Episode 154 - Fiji Final Five & Storm Erin Special.

The WSL Finals are upon us, we are praying Fiji lights up and we get an epic showdown to end this Final 5 chapter of the WSL.

All eyes on Cloudbreak or maybe Restaurants? (Inside Info) for the final's day. Who will take it out? Will the world number one's hold on? Is Jack Robbo going to go full Sharman again and win from the first heat all the way through?

We make our predictions, heat by heat and we do not agree on the results, let us know what you think and if you agree!

Talking about lighting up, Europe has gone TURBO with Hurricane Erin delivering huge swell periods with giant waves, we discuss the talk of this and other surf events too!

Episode 153 - What To Watch?! - A Special Edit!

It may feel like a lot of the talk around the surf world right now is about Tahiti and Chopes, but there is a very good reason.

Yes the WSL where just in town, but more so, two back to back mental swells and these swells where captured best by the genius that is Tim Bonython and his Swell Chasers.

Released in a two part edit called Liquid Thunder, Tim show cases some of the worlds best taking on Teahupoo at its more beautiful but fearsome.

Highlighting performances from CT stand outs to locals to youngsters that caught our eye, we break it all down.

Have a listen and watch Liquid Thunder too!

This is on YouTube too!

Episode 152 - Chopes Chat - Our Instant Review On The Final WSL Stop Before Fiji.

What an event, wow. Pumping waves, big barrels, some dog moves and movement in the top 5 before Fiji.

Tune in for our thoughts on the judging, how well a 12 year old handled herself, bold claims on who will be world champ and more!

This is our fast, flash initial thoughts the morning after the event the night before. How good were Molly & Caity? Erin and Vahine also looked super strong in the women's draw. On the men's Jack Robbo looked dominant but Griff and Ethan stepped up too with some amazing waves from Cole, Kauli and others too!

Listen in for our thoughts and stay tuned for more final 5 chat coming soon.

Episode 150 - Mason Ho, Move Over! There's A New Froth Lord In Town - SPECIAL GUEST

If you think Mason Ho froth's out, you need to meet Robbie, our Special Guest for this episode. A human ray of sunshine and an all round core lord!

Robbie caught my eye when I saw his videos translating normal surf items from Spanish to English and even to Aussie! I wanted to know more about this guy so set up a chat!

Robbie is a "local hero" for Rip Curl thanks to Pablo Gutierrez (who is a unground ripper too) so he uses surfing to help his students!

This guy is a surfers surfer. He lives to surf, chases the sun and swell and works hard only to surf harder!

I think you will LOVE this episode.

Episode 149 - SPECIAL GUEST - The Man Responsible For The Best Edit In Years.

You heard that right, this edit is a MUST see, what edit you ask? Friction Of Perception by Liam O'Brien.

We are stoked and super lucky to have the chance to share a yarn with Liam. Darren held a chat and spoke a lot about this edit.

The speed, style, waves and reckless abandon all adds up to what we are calling this best edit in years. If Ethan dropped this edit, it would be spoken about non stop.

Taking on waves in Australia, Hawaii, Chopes and more, this ticks every box for an edit.

Have a good listen to what we chat about and as always, thank you LOB!

Episode 148 - We Told You So! Review Of The Best Comp This Year, J-Bay!

How good was that! Pumping J-Bay, world class surfing, unexpected winners, people melting and more! J-Bay delivered like it always does.

Did we expect and predict a regular foot take over, yes... Did the goofy foots (men) go mad? Yes... was it amazing to watch, for sure!

From Yago's early 9+ scores for rail work with insanely difficult airs to end, to Connor going huge on finals day, the goofy foots really took the lime light this event.

For the women, Molly had the best waves throughout but Gabi got the back up's and took the W.

Heaps of positives from this event other than our fantasy picks, bring on Chopes!

Enjoy, share and download.
