The Western Australia Margaret River Pro is always a captivating event, with all kinds of variables thrown at surfers in the wild west, especially now with the dreaded Mid-Season Cut. This year's epic Finals Day almost washed away the many short and strange days that led up to it, with a forecast that provided stunning lay days, but only small pockets of 'contestable' surf.

All of that provided our favorite moment of the year so far however, with an incredible maiden CT win for Gabriela Bryan, highlighted by her magical dolphin scene, and we're stoked to have her on the show this episode to talk about it all.

We also catch up on all things 2024 Surf City El Salvador ISA World Longboard Championship, especially because the silver medalist just might be familiar to you...

A lot has changed since surf brands started at the grassroots level in the late 60's. From making boardies with grandma to an endless cycle of greed and excess, passing from one owner to the next.

This episode we talk about all of the recent changes in brand ownership and what that means for the sponsorship of many women, before being joined by Lucy Small to talk through why a recent marketing campaign landed so poorly for many women in the surf industry.
