We’re back! Weirder and more dysfunctional than ever. We break down the goings on of Trestles, including the judging debacle (give ‘em a break), Jordy Smith’s world title chances given his win (slim) and Da Gooooooat’s (that’s Kelly Slater for the uninitiated) incredible world title tilt aged 44 years young. What an important message he’s sending to middle aged men all over the world. 

We do our Top Ten Power Rankings, take a hit from the vault going back to episode one of Ain’t That Swell featuring a nervous whiny Jed and a high-pitched Ozzie Wrong. 

There’s all your favourite segments, including Ask Us A Question (We’ll tell you know lies…), What’s Kelly Thinking, and more! Only with Ain’t That Swell…the original and the something, something.
