Judging by the commentary around our recent Stab in the Dark X episode, we’re certainly glad to have Ethan’s edition already in the can (release date: early April).

In truth, we knew there’d be some controversy around the winner Slater picked. And a bit of pushback for our apparent crime against humanity: making him surf world-class points and beachbreaks in less-than-ideal conditions.

Which is partly why we’re so excited about the EE installment.

Next-level surfing. No weird mind games. No conflicts of interest. Just pumping Lakeys and Periscopes, with a little color commentary from Taj Burrow.

Our hope? It restores peace on planet Earth. Or at least in the comment section.

In the meantime, here’s some footage of Eth at home on North Straddie, featuring his brother Curtis and some archival clips suggesting that style, in this case, might be more nature than nurture.
