No spoilers here, but the new episode of How Surfers Get Paid tells a story that sounds too good to be true. It involves a mystical wave, three world champions, and a whole lot of money. 

Mikey and Buck also discuss all this week's news, including:
- Pat O'Connell's take on the state of the surf industry
- a new Stab Edit of the Year entry
- Binnsy's tribute to Mikala Jones
- a Surf Sin

After the news (42:00), Mikey and Stace get into the recently concluded J-Bay event. Come-ups, let-downs, and Mikey's huge betting losses. 

Let's drop in.

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)!

Is The Cut Our Fault?

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.

Why Kelly Can't Say The 'R' Word

Mikey C makes his return to the pod, just in time to cover: a new surf film with Chippa Wilson and friends, a (mostly) positive surf industry/sponsorship update, our exclusive interview with World #2 Ethan Ewing, a new Stab Edit of the year entry and more.
