Herbie Fletcher returns with The Thrill is Back! You’ll remember the Astrodeck founder’s first ep, in which he himself sideslipped at macking Pipeline on a wooden log. This time around, he digs up some archival footage of two of the most unrelenting to ever do it: Dane Kealoha and Johnny Boy Gomes. According to Herb, these Hawaiians invented foamball rides. Throw some awesome retro narration in the mix and this is an enjoyable winding back of the clock.
