This week is all CUSP, no drop. 

Buck and Mikey cover the trending phenomenon of ‘transitioning’ nationalities to make the Olympics, the Grajagan blowout, the best surfing Ryan Miller has ever seen, and the Fijian reef ‘resculpturing’ project backed by the illuminati.

Finally, we pitch a morally sound framework for board borrowing to clear the guilty conscience of our surf sinner.
