  • A Pod Of Two Halves. Calling Out The WSL & Calling Out What Surf Clips To Watch

    A Pod Of Two Halves. Calling Out The WSL & Calling Out What Surf Clips To Watch
    Oct 16 2024

    Episode 117 - A Pod Of Two Halves. Calling Out The WSL & Calling Out What Surf Clips To Watch

    As the title says, this is a podcast of two halves.

    In the back end of this podcast, we speak about the WSL and the newly released 2025 tour schedule, with the focus on the Abu Dhabi event and how this is a major issue.

    Not to skip around the subject, over the last few years the WSL has positioned itself as a leader in "equality" and pushing the boundaries on being inclusive. Allowing athletes like Tyler Wright to wear the LGBTQ+ flag on her jersey along with push equal pay.

    Now they are seemingly forgetting all that for money. Taking the tour to a location where Tyler could be sentenced to Death. Our view is the event has to be boycott. No athlete on the men's or women's tour should go. Could you support this? We couldn't. Anyway, listen for more thoughts on this.

    Other than this we also talk about the latest and greatest clips to watch.

    Stab have delivered a cracker with the E.A.S.T with Rasta. Wow. Another cracker is Trilogy: New Wave, with EE, Griff and Seth.

    Other clips are must watches. Listen to us for what you should check out.

    Also - A big giveaway will be coming for people who subscribe to our YouTube channel... so get on that!

    Enjoy, share and let us know your thoughts.
