  • My #1 favorite surf podcast

    This is all you need to stay informed on a weekly basis. Surf news, general WSL goings on, some great anecdotes from Scott Bass. Although Southern California based, David’s comprehensive knowledge of the worldwide surf industry informs the listener a (mostly) unbiased view of the current surf landscape. And when they get it wrong they own up to it. Now that I’m taking a break from social media, I appreciate this podcast even more.
