Episode 141 - Covering All Comps! Japan to West Australia - We Have It All.
It's been quite the last week or so in the world of rash vest wearing warriors, taking on competition.
From the WSL at Margaret River to Stab High in Japan, you got a flavour of two very different competitions.
Last year we had high expectations of the air comp that STAB put on and we felt it was a little lacking, but this year couldn't be more different. This iteration was NEXT LEVEL.
A high make rate across the board, girls, women, boys and men all went mad! Some airs were MADNESS! Listen in to what stood out for us.
Then Margaret River, what an event. Wild, raw main break, heavy slabs at the Box and more!
Tune in to hear what we think.
Last but not least we also pay homage to the late great Jack McCoy, who sadly past! RIP Legend.
