Listen: Nobody Is Immune To Nazaré

Much has been written about Nazaré in these digital pages. 

For close to 15 years we’ve been saying how little we cared for it, the word burger used so often that if you type it into your search bar, Stab might come up next to McDonalds and In n Out.

Nazaré is maybe surfing’s version of Timothée Chalamet. Every single person you respect shows total indifference, until someone mentions it at a parking lot or dinner table, at which point those same people will find it very hard to keep their opinions to themselves for the next 45 minutes. No hydration breaks.

This week’s Drop closes on the untimely passing of Patrick Phillips at Teahupo’o.
