If you haven’t already been served a targeted ad from Haydenshapes notifying you that the DarkNoiz won Ethan Ewing’s edition of Stab in the Dark, well… sorry for the spoiler.

Also, what ad blocker/VPN you running? 

Eclipsing EE’s performance in Stab in the Dark will be a challenging assignment for our next test pilot.

In six days, Ethan managed to ride 199 waves on 12 fresh, unmarked surfboards, and fill four full-length episodes and an extended grand finale, with razor sharp rail surfing. 

Only two waves didn’t make the cut on the first day of filming, from a total of 28. Both were closeouts, incidentally. Still, that’s a 93% raw-to-final-cut rate. 

Easy on the eyes and hard drives, essentially. 

The prosaically titled ‘Surf Edit’ is purely the best of the best surfing — and a bit of a Thank You to Billabong for their support on the project.
