In the freshest episode of Ain’t That Swell, Jed and Vaughan return with their unique brand of hard-hitting analysis zeroing in on the many controversies of the day. They take a look at the Oi Rio Pro in Brazil and what really got Filipe banned from Cloudbreak — a penalty worse than death by shish-kebab-scorpion itself. All your favourite segments are back, including “Finger Bunz,” “Overs and Unders,” and “Listener Questions.” Plus, a bonus preview of the Outerknown Fiji Pro. 

And don’t you worry, Jed and Vaughn made sure to wade through the blood bath kicked off by Laird Hamilton’s comments about women’s menstrual cycles as well. This and much, much more on Ain’t That Swell.
