Fresh off the Lexus WSL Finals Fiji Presented by Corona Cero, The Lineup welcomes our newest World Champions, Australia’s Molly Picklum and Brazil’s Yago Dora in this two-parter episode. In Part One, Molly reflects on her difficulties on the Challenger Series to just a few years later lifting up the The Duke Trophy at just 22 years young. She speaks candidly about the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, and the freedom she’s found in understanding she’s just growing up. She breaks down her Finals run, the magic DNA round tail by DHD that carried her all season, and what’s next now that she’s joined the sport’s most elite club of World Champions. In Part Two, Yago joins just hours after sealing his maiden World Title to share the emotion of the moment, the Brazilian brotherhood – from Italó to Filipe to Gabriel – that inspires him, and the magic 6’1” Mayhem that helped him unlock his surfing in Fiji. We talk about their support teams this season, look ahead to 2026 and the celebrations back home, and introduce a special Finals-edition of The Lightning Round. Please enjoy this special episode with your 2025 World Champions, Molly Picklum and Yago Dora.
