  • Company mouthpiece

    It is a shame that this opportunity to speak honestly and directly to your core audience is instead being used to further the wall of corporate positive noise.

    The fact you are releasing podcasts and other pieces without addressing your CEO’s recent dumping and the overall current state of the organisation is confounding and extremely disingenuous.

Q: What is Griffin's mindset about winning the World Title given there are only a few events left?

EP 273: Finn McGill – Talks qualification hopes halted in Ballito, His rivalry with Barron Mamiya, His road to recovery, working with Seager, and More
Q: How did the injury happen and what was the recovery timeline?

Q: As a barrel expert, how easy or difficult is it to select the right equipment for Teahupo'o during a waiting period?
Koa explained that you'd typically carry two quivers: a barrel-oriented board with a quad for maximum speed and paddle-ability through the lip, and a separate board for turning when the waves allow, with epoxy options for smaller days.

Q: What did Leo do differently to prepare for this season?
