Today’s episode of Grit! was recorded at Album Surf in San Clemente, California where Matt Parker generously loans Chas an asymmetrical board and explains he design theory and why it’ll help Chas shred harder than ever. David and Chas then discuss purchasing and reviving the greatest surf brand of all time, whether or not puka shells are ever acceptable, punching your heroes in the face, naming your kid Barrel (yes, someone did), and a Power Rankings of B-list pro surfer’s wives. Take the candy!
