This week we are going to be joined by a very special guest. Jump in to find out who, along with this years winners of the Electric Acid Surf Board Test and this weeks other top stories. RIP Chris Davidson 1978-2022

Everyone has their opinion about the 2023 CT schedule, but the consensus is clear. Where do we stand? Well...welcome to The Drop. RIP Kalani David (1997 - 2022).

A simple question with a very nuanced answer. Stace and Mike break down the contentious WSL Finals Day, which included a highly critical post-win interview by the newly crowned Queen of surfing, Steph Gilmore. Later (54:00), Buck comes on to talk about this week's OTHER surf news, including a new Electric Acid episode, the worst waves ever surfed in a professional event (no, it's not Lowers), and you new favorite surf people (that you've never heard of). Lastly, Buck accepts a user-submitted penance for his sins.

Straight to the point. Stace and Mike make their picks for the 2022 WSL Finals. Get in, make your bets, get out! Supported by betonline.ag
