Recorded while David and Scott watch the final day of the Volcom Pipe Pro, the boys discuss Kelly’s plea to investigate 9/11, Quiksilver’s $600 million bailout, Brock Little’s cancer diagnosis, Brazil’s unpaid bills, and so much more. Dig in and enjoy!

Shout out to Keahi de Abortitz, who David mistakenly referred to as a “no namer”, but who is actually a 2x Kitesurf Champion and all-around waterman.

KELLY, KELLY, KELLY
First Kelly saves a mum and her baby.
Then drops some serious truth on us. Then he takes down the Volcom Pipe Pro! The old man won’t quit!
