Fanning, Parko, Lopez, And Carroll Discuss The World Title Showdown

The best bloody episode of Ain’t That Swell yet!

Remember when this show was just Vaughan Blakey and a very inebriated Jed Smith talking shit and coining terms like ‘the wossle’. They’ve come a long fuckin’ way, and we’re thankful for it.

Last episode, the usual group hammered on about Gabby, Filipe, and Julian coming into the Pipe showdown. Now, in a three-hour extravaganza, they’ve enlisted the likes of Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning, Gerry Lopez, and Tom Carroll to weigh in on the 2018 title showdown.

Mick reckons Joycey can do it! And why we’ve all got Gabby wrong. 

Parko chats about his inevitable Triple Crown takeover.

Tom Carroll unveils the biggest title squandering mistakes. 

Ryan Callinan breaks down the paddle battle with Medina.

And Ronnie Blakey tells all in a feature on his astounding mop. 

The boys fail to mention the women’s World Title race, but that’s probably just because Stephy Gilmore has it under lock and key (or because she rejected Vaughan’s interview request)

You might have to break this one off in slithers if it’s your first time, otherwise, sit yourself down and swallow a full Swellian dosage of what’s bound to be the best episode yet. 

Prepare you earholes!
