The last Drop of 2025 is a heavy one. A reigning world champ parts with his headline sponsor. The WSL calls off the day of the event at Pipe. Stab gets in a bidding war with a major surf brand (and loses, then wins). And Stab Surfer of the Year gets a facelift.

Where does localism end and insanity begin? Particularly in the Canary Islands, where a crazed, scooter-riding, rock-wielding man just went full Joe Namath on a visiting surfer. Buck and Mikey break this down along with an exclusive Kolohe Andino interview, Nate Florence's Austrian torture chamber, Mikey Feb's broken board theory, the world's best artificial wave and some exciting news from Hawaii.

Sorry we're late, tech difficulties! And if you missed last week's ep, that's probably our fault as well. Something happened where it didn't upload to Apple pods until yesterday, so now we've got two eps in two days which I guess is better than nothing. Maybe? I'd say it won't happen again, but it probably will, so thanks as always for coming along for the ride with us. For now

Depends who you ask. If it's Mikey C or Buck, well, the answers still vary. This week the boys break down 14 more titles returning to the CT, a new ep of EAST, and a couple real thinkers: 1. Is Chat GPT ruining surf culture? 2. Who has the right to protect a wave? It's a heady ep, one that might come up in your next (therapy) session. But in the end, it's only surfing. Don't think too hard.

At 33, Carissa Moore will be the first mom to return to the CT since the mid-2000s. Mikey and Buck discuss her legacy and chances of winning another world title against today's new class of champions. Also, the boys get wrapped up in a wavepool imbroglio that took Billy Wilson 4 months to investigate. Our apologies to anyone named Nick. Snapt5 dropped exclusively on Stab Premium this week, along with a note from Sam McIntosh ab...

In the same week, Joel Tudor took on a major airline (and won), Jaleesa Vincent wrote an explicit rap song about her Pussy (surfboard), and a world junior champ put his life savings into a luxury sunglass brand. Just when you thought surfing was gonna be just fine, Paul Evans joins the pod to excoriate children and tell us when, precisely, our little hobby went tits up. Buy Veia boardbags (with wheels) if you, unlike Paul, pref...

What really happened at the GB Cup this week? Mikey and Buck do their own research and reveal the truth behind the headlines. We also ride shotgun with Mick Fanning, drive deep into the Atacama Desert, and find ourselves face-to-face with surfing's most digitally-inept superhuman.

One man's miracle is another man's marketing ploy. It was kind of a dark week in surfing, from fake pregnancy announcements to brain tumors to death, but at least we have a little EAST sugar to help it all go down. Mikey and Buck break it all down and give away a new Veia leash to one lucky listener (who we hope is not an incel).

Tya Zebrowski recently became the youngest-ever CT qualifier at 14 years old. But just quietly, another surfer is on track to become the oldest CT qualifier in the same graduating class. By all accounts, a far more impressive achievement. Also this week: Mikey and Buck rank the greatest surf towns, steal leashes, get up & stand for Jamaican beach rights, and a whole lot more.

That's a wrap for Stab High Sydney. If you live under a state-imposed media blackout: Joel Vaughan and Sierra Kerr took out the Men's and Women's divisions on their very last waves, while Skai Suitt and Loci Cullen won the Ladybirds and Bottle Rockets. World champ Yago Dora owned the Monster Air for a massive late spin. Mikey and Buck break down the event and some BTS moments fresh out of a deranged after party.

Surf100 California x Pacifico is complete, and we have a (somewhat) controversial winner — at least if you ask Kelly Slater (nobody did, but he gave us his thoughts anyway). What's not controversial is that Mike Stewart is one of (if not THE) greatest waveriders in human history, so Mikey and Buck break down some of his career feats tube theories. There are also two major sponsor updates this week: Chippa Wilson leaving his 10-...

Bula vinaka from Tavarua Island, where we just finished interviewing the 2025 world champions of surfing — Yago Dora and Molly Picklum. You'll hear that toward the end of the pod, but first, Stace G and Mikey C dissect their very different views of Finals day in Fiji, including peak performances and surprise letdowns.

Stab's co-founder joins The Drop to discuss a recent ep of How Surfers Get Paid — including the time he saw Parko's $1.6M contract lying on a table, when Andy yelled at him for simply riding a wave, and all about Twiggy's new Rip Curl deal at 52.

Your first Surf100 presented by Pacifico $100k finalist, for one. But Sebastian's story goes far beyond his recent competitive triumphs, as Mikey and Buck discuss in this ep of The Drop. A prodigious talent from youth, it's possible that Seb's ability (and attitude) got in the way of his success. Thankfully, he seems to have grown past this stage and is moving forward with a new, selfless mindset. Also in this ep: Surfing chea...

The WSL regular season goes out with a full fireworks display... or is that just Jordy Maree's apartment after another blackjack win? It was a strange but enthralling week of surfing — let's discuss with Mikey, Stace, Buck and special guest Snake Paterson.
