One of the best surf films we have seen. Stacked with style, speed, consequence and pure surfing of the highest order.

With a variety of surfers, riding various boards in waves across the planet, this film ticked every box! Or did it... What was missing? Maybe women... Is that the only improvement to this fantastic clip?

Episode 162 - World Champ Special - The Return Of Kings & Queens.

Guess who's back... Not 1, but 4 world champs in 4 days. Yes I think the WSL done that on purpose but we all loved it!

What do we think this means for the 2026 tour? Is it lining up to be one of the best ever. A new school movement against a proper old guard. The froth is already starting to build and we have MONTHS to wait.

What do you think of the four surfers returning? Do you think they will still be on top of the pile or have the new kids on the block caught up?

Tell us.

Lastly, we are still waiting for Slater news. You know its coming...
