We spend the first half of today's show chatting with Firewire CEO Mark Price about board construction, rumors of Kelly Slater's investment in the brand, and upcoming trends in board building materials. In the second half of the show David and Scott discuss the Volcom Pipe Pro, pro surfers getting smashed on rocks, Jamie Brisicks' latest book "Becoming Westerly Windina", Duke and Kooks and much more. Enjoy!

KOOK

Surfline for their filterless Wave of the Winter acceptance policy. They currently have 138 entries!!!! Most of which are fairly mediocre waves and they have multiple entries for the same wave from different angles. I want to see who the contenders are, but quickly lose patience letting after sifting through dozens of mediocre waves to get to the few gems. Here's a link to the complete list.
