“You’ll see some guy run a Slayer track at Emma Wood and you’re like WTF. The music has to match the energy of the surfing. The energy of the music has to lay just below the surfing. It has to lift it up, not eclipse it.” As far as tastemakers go, no... more

  • Dane!

    The content is good and entertaining, especially with Dane lately. He is so relatable and interesting to listen to. Minus one for the explicit language, which you would do fine without.

  • How is it

    people who basically talk for a living can’t get through a sentence without saying “like” one to four times? Is any effort ever made to try and curtail it, at least somewhat? It’s not a high bar to clear, yet… I subscribe to Stab Premium, so three stars total for their five stars content, but only visit the podcast rarely due to the “filler.” “He did about a billion turns on it” It was J-Bay, so maybe a dozen, tops? Ridiculous hyperbole is annoying, also.

    Oh my god I’m not sure if I’m rooting for him because of MC’s net or just because he’s a heel of a nice guy. Either way. Hilarious bet and Deserving Surfer. (MC don’t quit even if you lose.)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Have High-Performance Surfboards Already Peaked? | StabMic Episode 09
Q: Why do some surfers move boards and others don't, and how does that affect board design?
Surfers who move boards are typically highly attuned to how a board feels in different waves and seek feedback to tailor performance; this feedback loop informs the shaper to iterate designs that fit the rider's style and the conditions they expect to encounter.
Rookie CTer Breaks Down Newcastle
Q: Oscar, what was that Newcastle week like and how did you reset after all the chaos?
Oscar describes the week as intense and nerve-wracking, then explains he focused on getting his body and mind back on track, with the support of his crew helping him reset after the tough heat and the surrounding drama.
John John Florence + Dane Reynolds Recall The Best Session Of Their Lives
Q: Why did you decide to move away from the traditional tour and focus on your own brands?
Both speakers explain that building independent brands gave them creative freedom, decreased reliance on the tour's pressure, and allowed them to align work with family and personal values; they emphasize the long-term appeal over chasing short-term competition.
