AIN'T THAT SWELL

Brought to you by Better Beer...Mike Oblowitz is a filmmaker and documentary maker behind arguably the greatest surf documentary ever made, Sea of Darkness, which follows the drug trafficking escapades of some of surfing's biggest names in the 1970s and 80s, including Peter McCabe and Ricky Rasmussen. 

There's just one problem: almost no one has seen it because it was bought off and disappeared shortly after it premiered.

In episode three of the Inaugural Swellness Pilgrimage podcast, the boys overdo it on the hash, police raid our minibus, and we summit the Chanderakani pass, taking our seat at the feet of the gods.

Brought to you by Rip Curl...Jack 'The Vortex Shaman' Robinson held his nerve and showed tremendous GRIT to get the job done in Tahiti in what is surely the greatest performance of the year. But what happened to Ethan Ewing? Has Filipe Toledo cast off the puckered anus hovering above his world title campaign? Can Caity Simmers capitalise on her mind-melting rookie season to win a world title? And what now of the GOAT, who narrowly came undone in one of the heats of the event, at Chopes?
