In today’s show David and Chas analyze Dirk Ziff’s speech, delivered during his acceptance of the Waterman of the Year award. Chas offers an open letter as rebuttal, and the boys question whether the WSL is helmed by a man who fails to understand fundamental surfing truths. They also survey Kanoa’s mental health, and play a round of Barrel or Nah? Enjoy!
