We begin today’s episode with a conversation with Matt Parker of Album Surfboards about an asymmetrical surfboard that he lent to David to surf. David and Scott then break down the latest surf news, including the Red Bull Cape Fear event, the Fiji Pro, the future of sustainable surfboards, why we love to hate Bobby Martinez, Dukes and Kooks and much more. Enjoy!

RED BULL CAPE FEAR
A huge congrats to 18-year-old Russel Bierke for winning what was the heaviest surf contest ever held.

FIJI WOMEN’S PRO
Congrats Johanne Defay!

FIJI MEN’S PRO
Gabe burns Jordy. Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Jordy looks strong! It’d be nice if he could keep this form through a full season (or at least an event!)
And Kelly looks like he’s returning to form.

KOOK
Based on the success of Red Bull’s Cape Fear event, we need to further analyze whether or not “WSL surfers” should be allowed to compete in non-sanctioned events. While it makes sense to not allow World Tour surfers to compete, what about guys like Albee Layer?
