Dane Reynolds is pregnant. Kelly Slater has a Master’s Degree. Gabriel is NOT the first Brazilian surf champ. We uncover some hard truths in the first show of 2015. Enjoy!

Gabriel clinched his world title by making the final. Julian narrowly beat him in the final during a very close final exchange, and also won the Triple Crown by doing so. Phenomenal finish.
My favorite wave of the event? Alejo Muniz’s Backdoor buzzer beater against Slater.
