Dane Had A Plus-One During The Electric Acid Surfboard Test

Matt McCabe hates right point breaks, but we don’t mind.

Ch 11 TV doesn’t come well done. The videos, the website layout, the entire concept—it’s as raw as surfing gets. Dane spends zero time making eye-catching thumbnails or brainstorming clickbait titles. Each video gets a number, and quite frankly, that’s all it needs.

This is video 009, with Matt McCabe as the opening act and headliner. How would one describe Matt’s surfing? I call it Russian Roulette, with a six-round revolver. Except in McCabe’s gun, there are five bullets and only one empty slot. An 83% chance of heads being blown off.

As for easter eggs, recognize that board in the beginning? You better. And was that Craig Anderson? Get out of there, you rascal! Also, did some dick head in a Porsche actually tell Dane to “beat it”?

Read all about that, plus some covid theories currently circulating in the Ventura region, here.

But first, click above for Filet.
