Scrolling past terrifying news about how the world’s about to end and landing on a Chapter 11 clip doesn’t exactly reassure you that it’s not — but it does numb the pain a little.

In this month’s Daily Export, Eithan Osborne, Matt McCabe, and Jake Kelley play a game of surf at their local — groomed into a clean, user-friendly ramp dispenser, with more than a handful of barrels on offer.

It’s the kind of session you daydream about while stuck on your ass, counting down the hours until clocking off, and escaping life’s shit storms for a minute or two. If, like Eithan or Jake, you drive your truck or Prius to the beach (maybe Matt rides shotgun in one of the two?), here’s hoping you’re finding that same comfort at your local this spring. It makes the end of the world a little easier to swallow.

If not, you can always live vicariously through the short, straight-to-the-point edit above.
