Following the epic 2019 Euro leg, Evans & Mondy reflect on a autumn of dramatic Atlantic shred.

Fresh back from the Meo Rip Curl Pro Portugal and Nazaré ahead of the Tow Challenge, Paul brings the scoop on the big wave lords and ladies prepping for the 100ft wave. Meanwhile, after a few years away from Peniche, he discovers the burgeoning back yard party scene in Ferrol, discovers Portugal's one drinkable red wine, finds out what Paul McCartney has for XMas lunch... as well as finding just the right moment to tell Kelly Slater that he loves him.

Meanwhile, we discover that the WSL's 'official response' to Medina Prio-Gate, you know, the one that starts with "No resurf." was in fact written by Mondy. Surely his most-read piece of prose in a long and glittering career as a wordsmith.

INTL Pod is brought to you in association with FourFiveCBD oil and Billabong Graphene wetsuits.
