This is my favorite surf podcast mostly because it isn’t about surfing. I’m no media reviewer…but this is 5 star fun all the way.

Love the pod guys but I have to point out the irony of saying that you’re both pretty happy for there to be no prize money involved in putting your life at risk surfing Waimea. Then asking your listeners for money… for talking about guys surfing Waimea. No Barrel X
