Julian Wilson Tells Us How He Really Feels About The Burleigh Final May 12, 2025

Show notes

Who should have won the Filipe v Julian Burleigh final? Well, 69% of @stab poll respondents believe the judges got it wrong — that Julian was the rightful winner of last week's Gold Coast Pro. However, when we polled a list of true surfing experts (Mick Fanning, Taj Burrow, Jake Paterson, Doug Silva, and Leo Fioravanti), they had a slightly different opinion. This week on The Drop, Stace G and Mikey C dissect everything that went down at the Gold Coast Pro, and eventually we're joined by Julian Wilson to hear his thoughts on a heroic return to Championship Tour surfing.

Exclusive: Sam McIntosh & Ryan Crosby Discuss Major WSL Changes May 05, 2025

Show notes

The WSL dropped a bomb on the surf world this week, and like Swedish captives, we all collectively cheered. On this episode of The Drop, Stab's co-founder Sam McIntosh is joined by the WSL's new CEO Ryan Crosby to discuss the League's major (and widely lauded) around for the 2026 CT season. Here's the TLDR version, ICYMI: - The Final Five is dead. - So is the mid-year cut - So is the non-elimination opening round - The 2026 Championship Tour will feature 12 events — with a late season ‘playoff’. - It will start at Bells Beach in April and end at Pipeline in December, where points will be weighted at 150%. - World Titles will once again be decided by cumulative points, not a single-day shootout. After that, Mikey and Buck hop on to discuss a few other stories from the week, including an incredible Greg Browning eulogy, a piece on lineup personalities, and an academic excuse for surfing more.

After carefully dissecting the late night, soggy McDouble that was Bellls Beach, Stace G and Mikey C break down everything they purport to know about the CT's long-awaited return to the Gold Coast.

This week, Mikey and Buck break down the economic debacle facing many of the surf world's biggest manufacturers — Pyzel, Mayhem, Haydenshapes, Futures Fins, and Creatures of Leisure.
