Welcome to Episode 6 of the Surf100 Challenge Series Presented by Pacifico, the most bone chilling leg of our eight-part race to $100K.

Last week, we lost our fifth surfer to a roast beef sandwich — executed by Eithan Osborne during a “Game Of S.U.R.F” in Waco Texas.

With Mateus Herdy, Noah Beschen, Ian Crane, Cam Richards, and Jacob Willcox gone, only three surfers remain in contention: Rasta Robb, Eithan Osborne, and Sebastian Williams.

One of these surfers will have a 1/4 chance at winning $100K after this Episode.

Of these three, only two surfers will survive into our classic Surf100 Finale*, where they’ll face off against two mystery invitees for a chance at $100,000. After Episode 6, ONE surfer advances straight to the finale, and the other two fight for the last spot in Episode 7.

*Join us for a live screening of the Surf100 finale — Sept 17th at JS Garage in Oceanside, CA. The Pacificos are on us.

Most people burn when they fly too close to the sun… Sebastian stomps rotations.

Episode Six: TRIPLE THREAT

  • Surfers compete across three different locations with one goal: get a high scoring wave at each.
  • They’ll have 33 minutes and 20 seconds at each of the three spots — the perfect warm-up for the 100-minute Surf100 finale.
  • The surfer with the highest combined tally (three-wave-total) earns a guaranteed spot in the finale.
  • Location 3 comes with a twist.

The roses …

– The law of surf physics that says heavy water, tons of rubber, and inconsistent long-period swells suck for airs. But laws are meant to be broken.
– Producers finally catch some unsavory dialogue with those wiretaps — placing us in direct competition with reality shows like Love Island. Hi, @hulu.
– Yadin and Josiah sit in a field of dandelions — but no longer alone.
– “It’s OK, they’re my friends,” one surfer says after pissing on the other two (figuratively).
– After the referenced incident, the production van becomes more painfully silent than after that one conversation with your parents.

And thorns:

– Waiting for Yadin’s son’s contest to wrap so we could run at the final location challenge.
– The way Rasta’s body reacted to 50*F water.
– Human sized kelp and actual humans block a few of Eithan’s sections (he may be sending a $100K invoice — TBD).

Our 2024 Stab High Champion in his feels…good or bad? Find out in Episode 6.
