We have seen some mental tubes, some wild conditions and one terrible priority call from the judges. 

Alongside this, we discussed the latest Natural Selection comp, Paul Evan's masterpiece on STAB and more!

Episode 190 - The Run Down On Raglan & What's Predicted For Punta Roca. 

What did you guys think of Raglan as an event? Well, here is what we thought. Listen in for our break down of the surfing, the wave, the broadcast and more. 

Overall, we are positive on Raglan, yes the lay days suck, but that's surfing. The waves on some of the days before then and during were great. Hearing pro's say it's hard to surf, good, we want them challenged right?! 

Some surfers, really stood out and it was super cool to see the different sides to the surfers actually going left on a wave like this. 

Carissa was by far the best surfer of the whole event, regardless of the men's or women's. That was domination. 

Along with this, we give some predictions and run down on what we think will go down in El Salv. Let us know your thoughts and get your fantasy teams picked! 

Tune in, share and enjoy.
