This week's surf news is…a lot. A rock-throwing surfer in Tenerife, a lifeguard on the North Shore telling people they'll "come home in a box," Fiji potentially bringing back pay-to-surf rules, Munich's Eisbach collapsing, Dylan Graves breaking the world's weirdest Guinness Record, and a blind surfer who made Team USA in weeks. Not super uplifting—but very surfodrama.

Today's episode was supposed to be about Nazi symbolism in surfing. Truly. But nobody needs that today. So instead, we pivoted— hard—into the complete opposite: surfing pets. And not just any surfing pet. Meet Ricochet, the Golden Retriever who became the world's first "SURFice dog," surfing tandem with children with disabilities, veterans with PTSD, and anyone who needed her.

Wish you could magically improve at surfing in between sessions? Same. Until that spell exists, here are the 10 "surf" land sports. From panic paddling to lineup psychology to emotional regulation (yes, really), this episode breaks down exactly how to get better in the water…while you're very much on land.

Never seen The Endless Summer? Don't worry — after this episode, you'll be able to talk about it like you've watched it three times while wearing zinc and eating a cold musubi in the parking lot. We break down the iconic surf film, the characters, the myth-making, the filmmaking chaos, the $50 round-the-world ticket hack, and the controversy over whether it's even a documentary. Basically: a pocket-sized surf history lesson you can drop into the lineup the next time someone quotes Bruce Brown.

This week's Sunday Surf Poem is "Hurricane Warning: Surfers" by Peter Makuck, first published in 1998. According to Wikipedia, Makuck's work often explores epiphany, grace, and the beauty that reveals itself in moments of danger. Let's find out if that's true.

Today we're heading to Waimea Bay—the wave that built big wave surfing. From the meaning behind its name to why it barely breaks, from the infamous Woody Brown and Dickie Cross story to Greg Noll's historic 1957 drop. What a ride!

A reader asks who "gets" the surf spot after a breakup. Who knows for sure?! But let's talk through some unwritten rules, and how to protect your peace when the lineup suddenly feels complicated.

After reviewing the week's surf news, I made an executive Surfsgiving decision: absolutely not. The headlines are all tragedy, and it's Thanksgiving. So instead, I'm taking us back to the charm of Frederick Kohner's Gidget, the book that sparked a surf cultural revolution.

This Surfsgiving, I'm thankful for the unexpected spark behind what's coming next for The Wipeout Weekly. In this episode, I share the story behind "Fatty," the name that somehow followed me from my branding days into my surf life—and is now inspiring what comes next for The Wipeout Weekly. I talk about how a random hat, a beloved nickname, and a few offhand "I love your hat" comments turned into the beginnings of the Wee Surf Shoppe, a curated corner of surf gear and fun that launches soon. A little backstory, a little gratitude, and a hint of what's ahead.

A short Surfsgiving episode honoring Matt Warshaw and revisiting his story about surfing's ancient Hawaiian beginnings.
