Stab Podcast: Yago Dora’s Nose Is A Mysterious + Desirable Patch Of Skin

SSOTY voting, Florence’s great miss, Kaipo don’t preach.

Welcome, noble listeners, to the final convocation of 2025. Pour yourself a glass of wine, grab a side salad, and unshackle your mind. And before you trample into this sacred gathering, kindly remove those filthy boots. This is not a barn.

On the table today: the curious bidding war for Yago Dora’s nasal real estate, following a year of on-again, off-again entanglement with his longstanding sponsor, Volcom. We’ll also dive into Filipe buying into SharpEye and Koa Smith’s new gig with Roark.

We’ve long been dubbed the Hollywood tabloid of the surf world. This week, we give in, and open the Madonna files, dust off the scandalous relics of 1985, and behold her infamous come hither to the youthful Kaipo Guerrero, then a mere 17.

Of course, we must touch on the finale of EAST (spoilers ahead), the most coveted wetsuit of 2025, the new Blak Bear film, STIMULANT, the best surfer of 2025, and Mikey’s heartfelt message to John John Florence: you blew it, bra.

Draw near and listen well. One final time, before the curtain falls.
