Surf news doesn’t stop.

It’s a machine of constant happenings that refuses to even slow down. And with endless surf news comes endless episodes of Stab’s weekly podcast, The Drop.

Sadly, our guests left Danny hanging out to dry this week. However, one person who always pulls through with a story or two is Stab’s editor-in-chief, Mr. Brendan Buckley, aka Big Dick Power Surfer, aka the guy who left the office E-bike 30 miles away before hopping on a plane and scurrying back to France. Let’s look past his blunder and explore:

“Do the Olympics even matter?” 

Our host Danny Johnson says no almost immediately. Mr. Dick hesitates with the question and rattles off some arguments for both sides, which is his polite way of also saying “no.” Isn’t just the same guys from the CT in worse waves? Basically.

The Best Chlorinated Air Section In The World

Hint: It’s in Japan. Evan Geiselman’s recent affair with the Japanese wave pool taught us that artificial air sections are far from their peak. Also, is this the first time we’ve seen lefts during a wavepools debut? Is there a goofy-foot revolution on the horizon?
