Dave Prodan and WSL commentator and part-time co-host Mitchell Salazar break down the highs and lows from Tahiti. From Jack’s must-win performance, Molly’s statement backhand attack, and the rise of the local Tahitian crew, they cover everything from Championship Tour surfers paddling and/or towing the CODE RED waves prior to the event to the heartbreaking eliminations that shifted the Final 5 race at the last possible moment. They also dive into this season’s biggest winners and losers, the evolution of strategy at CT events, and what fans can expect when the world’s best descend on Cloudbreak. With the end of this event, the 2025 Championship Tour regular season has wrapped with all-time Teahupo’o, and an Aussie and Red Bull sweet with Molly Picklum and Jack Robinson claiming wins at the Lexus Tahiti Pro Presented by I-SEA, and officially locking in the Final 5 for the World Title-deciding Lexus WSL Finals in Fiji. The duo talk boards, Finals matchups, and answer Instagram fan questions before setting the stage for next week’s World Title showdown in Fiji.
