About this episode

Scott and David discuss longboarding's place in surfing, the ISA's new qualification system, violence in Mexico, and wave pool relevance.

In today's show Scott and David analyze whether longboarding still fits into their surf experience, the virtues of EPS, how the new ISA qualification system reveals a power move for a competing governing body of surfing and a wrestling of power away from the WSL, they profess a deep love for the people of Mexico in response to the recent wanton violence erupting in the streets, and debate the relevance of wave pool clips.
