Lots to unpack this week.

What should Magno Pachecho’s penance be for his board fling surf sin? Did the WSL take ownership of Keala Kennelly’s push for equality? Koa Smith unboxes his soul. Can deep fakes do Mikey’s joyrides? Dane Reynolds can’t surf Kelly’s wavepool. This surf sin is genius and all online surfboard marketplaces should be put on high alert. 

Featuring special guest Drive Thru don, Benji Weatherly.
