About this episode

Scott and David discuss the opening rounds of Bells, analyze WSL's surfer placement, and highlight Ethan Ewing's surfing skills.

In today’s show Scott and David sift through the tiresome opening rounds of Bells and pull from decades of data to offer a solution for how the WSL can put the best surfers in the best waves, they lament their horrible Surfival picks, and then marvel at the brilliance of Ethan Ewing’s savant level surfing in Sumbawa, and doff the cap at the unsung ghost shapers of surfing.
