Watch Episode 1 of the Surf100 Challenge Series Presented by Pacifico here, watch Episode 2 here, watch Episode 3 here, watch Episode 4 here, watch Episode 5 here, and watch Episode 6 here.

Welcome to the last Episode of the Surf100 Challenge Series Presented by Pacifico, where we’ll be serving anxiety laced with desperation — offset only by the sweet dangling carrot of a potential $100K payday.

Last week, Sebastian Williams stomped two of the best airs of the series and became the first official qualifier for the Surf100 presented by Pacifico $100K finale. But who is Sebastian Williams? Click HERE to read one hell of a story about the Mexican-South Afircan surf prodigy.

With Mateus Herdy, Noah Beschen, Ian Crane, Cam Richards, and Jacob Willcox gone—and Sebastian Williams fast-tracked to the finals—only Robbie McCormick and Eithan Osborne remain in contention.

A consistent Rasta Robb faces off against the chaotic, occasionally brilliant Eithan Osborne.

Out of our two former Stab High champions, only one will advance into our classic Surf100 Finale, where he and Sebastian Williams will face off against Julian Wilson and one other mystery invitee for a shot at $100K. After this episode, our four finalist surfers will be locked—watch until the end to find out who the last pre-seeded A-lister is.

*Join us for a live screening of the Surf100 finale — Sept 17th at JS Garage in Oceanside, CA. Food and drinks on us. Click HERE the details.

This high-stakes challenge is a cliffhanger.

After 7 days it all came down to one wave at Steamer Lane. Here’s the Episode 7 playbook:

  • Each surfer has 15 minutes to catch one wave — and one wave only — which will be scored from 0-100.
  • While the first surfer is in the lineup, the second surfer will wait on the beach—blindfolded, with headphones on—unable to know what the first surfer did on their wave or scored.
  • The winner of the previous challenge (Eithan) chooses the order.
  • The surfer with the highest single-wave score secures the last spot in the Surf100 final.

A few behind the scenes notes shared between white knuckling:

– Eithan decides to channel his inner Griff, but opts for Sunami — giving more death metal than spiro vibes.
– Sebastian Williams doesn’t pick favorites.
– Rasta tries to surf before the challenge; production says no, citing his body temperature in Episode 6.
– One surfer uses the full 15 minutes; the other surfer catches the first wave that comes.
– Rasta makes his first friend of the series (water mics provide the evidence).
– One surfer attempts to seduce a producer. Fails.
– The two waves were close — go watch to see who wins a chance at $100k.

Does Rasta go silent into the good night? Find out in Episode 7.
