- Shaun Manners' Stab Edit of the Year entry
- Kala Grace's return from his near-death Pipe experience 
- The World's Best QS

Stab founder Sam McIntosh on Stab’s new films, new wavepool events and the bitcoin.

Snappest just ended, so we've asked about Stace Galbraith how Fisher's dick-riding fiasco revitalized the WSL, and whether or not the commentators copped a fee for their playful innuendo. 

Also, what are your thoughts on surfers who avoided behind-the-rock tubes in favor of down-the-line walls? The boys share their thoughts and then some.

Paul Evans seems to think so, and he's got a compelling argument to support his point. After covering this week's news with Mikey and Buck, Stace G hops on to give some tips and picks for the first event of the 2024 Challenger Series. Oh yeah, and Kelly's out of retirement (kind of)!

Fresh off the plane from West Oz, Stacey G joins Mikey C to discuss the now-concluded Maragret River Pro, including the mid-year cut, contentious judging calls, the men's and women's finals, and Stace's teary-eyed "not" retirement interview.
