This week we have a double-header on The Drop — first up it's Mikey and Buck with the week's biggest surf news, then Stace G joins the party to talk sunset and beyond.

Is the WSL Finals causing surfers too much stress? And will John John get his comeuppance? Let's discuss!

Pipe Finals day was firrrrrrrring... but was it enough to make up for not running on Monster Monday?

Stace G and Mikey C break down the recent Pipe Pro (for the girls!), including the women's overwhelming pace of progression, the kid who made JJF squirm, and how we won $2.5k by predicting the future.

What's more important — a board that looks good under your feet, or a board that feels good under your feet? That's a question our Stab in the Dark surfers don't have the option to answer, as seen in Kolohe's episode 2.

This week, Mikey and Buck break down which board Kolohe surprisingly hated, how bodyboarders became the world's best surf cinematogrpahers, and most importantly, should Pipe have on Monday? Oh yeah, and the WQS is back!

The World Quiz Series is officially here. Also this week: Mikey and Buck chat about wayyyy too much surf news, including a secret j-Bay event, the Rip Curl/Bethany fiasco, why surf brands don't (headline) sponsor CT events, a new Noa Deane film, and more.

Later, Stace G joins the pod to talk day one at Pipeline, Filipe's tummy ache, the Gabby drop-in, and what's to come later in the event window.

Apologies for the earlier upload issues, but this is our official Pre-Pipe Pro podcast for 2024! Stace G and Mikey C break down forecast, field, underdogs and overdogs and more with a special guest appearance from Jake the Snake Paterson.

It's true. Surf Sins are officially dead. But we have a new listener segment coming next week.

Also in this ep, Mikey and Buck talk: Steph's surprise departure and what it means for the future of the WSL; Stab in the Dark episode 1 and the strange but beautiful brain of Kolohe Andino; the ex-pro skater who might be the future of surfboard shaping; and Buck's trip to Nazare!

Stace G and Mikey C break down the 7 new rookies in 2024, predict who will and will not make the cut, the men's and women's top 5 and our 2024 world champions. How wrong will they be? We'll know in eight months!

A 5x world champ leaves the tour, Stab in the Dark shapers revealed, tons of news from Hawaii, and so much more in this week's episode of The Drop!

Buck in Mikey dissect all of the above and give a penance to our second-last surf sin.

This is as raw as it gets. Facetime call on speaker, Quicktime recording on the Macbook, and Nate Florence tells all about his historic 2023 run. Sorry about the cicadas!

We'll let Sam McIntosh explain.

Beyond Stab in the Dark, this ep also includes: our 2023 Stab Surfer of the Year winners, a new women-centric surfboard brand, an Electric Acid spin-off, a Kelly Slater surf sin and more!
