The Ultimate Surfer Wild Cards Are Also a Thing

In the all-new “Break Room” episode of the podcast, host Dave Prodan speaks with a panel of fellow WSL employees that work across the league. Get insights from inside headquarters on the title-deciding Rip Curl WSL Finals, the Challenger Series, and more. First, the crew revisits their predictions for the Finals, awards pizza to the winning team, chooses their standout performances, and shares stories of how the event went off from an employee’s perspective. They then recap the US Open of Surfing, assess the insane talent level on the Challenger Series, dive into the young generation of women who are shaking up the sport, and discuss whether or not any of the young talents could potentially turn down a spot on tour if they qualified this season. The Break Room says goodbye to longtime producer Ryan, who shares the podcast’s origin story, looks back at his favorite (and least favorite) episodes, and describes his experience working with Dave Prodan. Finally, they answer listener questions on a wide array of topics like who would chair Kelly Slater up the beach for his next win, drug testing on tour, The Ultimate Surfer, female surf coaches, a mysterious “voice doppelganger,” and more.
