๐๐โโ๏ธ * About this #SurfPodcast Episode* ๐๐
In today's episode of *The Grit*, Chas and David engage in an insightful discussion on the latest developments in professional surfing and other thought-provoking topics.
Kelly Slater's unwavering dedication to professional surfing, despite recent challenges, sparks speculation about his future involvement. We explore the implications of his disappointing performance and the potential impact on the final five-day at Lowers. Additionally, there's a stimulating debate on surfers at Trestles, highlighting Ethan Ewing and Yago Dora's promising potential. The controversy over scoring non-make barrels prompts a conversation about reevaluating scoring criteria, especially in recognition of effort.
We also address issues with Tom Lockfeld's wave technology and discuss the modern luxury of avoiding crowded surf spots. Beyond surfing, the conversation explores the impact of voice and appearance on perception, the future of the World Surf League, and the profound legacy of Carissa Moore. The idea of launching a new segment, 'The Grit After Dark,' is considered, alongside insights into recent trends in dating apps.
The episode concludes with reflections on wave priority etiquette, human nature, the global reach of ceviche, and the enriching aspects of homeschooling, focusing on nurturing creativity and critical thinking for the future job market.
Join us for this dynamic episode as we explore these topics and enhance our collective understanding of the surfing community and beyond!
