Chas Smith joins David Scales again to spill the gossip from over at Beach Grit. The boys ponder why no one is willing to discuss the details that surround Owen Wright’s head trauma. They then dissect Reno Abellira and Matt Warshaw’s Blood Feud, the state of women’s surfing, and Chas’s latest book and film projects. Take the candy! Enjoy the show!

THE STATE OF WOMEN’S SURFING

Can we begin an honest and critical dialogue about the shortcoming of women’s surfing?

Courtney won the Fiji Pro this year with a 8.74 heat total, and without getting barreled.

Rochelle Ballard’s surfing a decade ago would be winning heats today, especially during the big, unruly days. Here’s Rochelle  surfing the Roxy Fiji Pro in 2006 (Not an apples to apples comparison. Rochelle is surfing a perfect day, but still worth noting).

Looking forward to some sick #barrels this #winter #tbt #pipeline @cisurfboards @nukumoisurf @surfintoyoga ? Kumio

And here’s an example of Stephanie Gilmore’s superiority over all other surfers, regardless of gender.
