Today Chas and David welcome professional snowboarder and Olympic commentator Todd Richards. The sole purpose of this discussion was to bridge the air rotation gap between surf, snow, and skate; and by God, resolution may have been found! Todd also weighs-in on the constraints of professional sports commentating, how wave pools will change surfing, and why surfing’s unsung heroes will be tomorrow’s superstars. Enjoy!
