“This is my favorite surf podcast mostly because it isn’t about surfing. I’m no media reviewer…but this is 5 star fun all the way.”

“Love the pod guys but I have to point out the irony of saying that you’re both pretty happy for there to be no prize money involved in putting your life at risk surfing Waimea. Then asking your listeners for money… for talking about guys surfing Waimea. No Barrel X”

“David Lee Scales and Chas Smith are the Yin and Yang of surfing podcasts. Never fails to entertain while providing a window into today’s surf culture. These lads are sharp, funny, and best of all, honest. Keep up the work!”

“Geez these guys suck to listen to. Always my last surf podcast to listen to and every time I remember why. Fringed options that have no facts, if anything the opposite.”

“Great show. It took a few years, but I've started to appreciate Chas, or the persona of Chas. Or more accurately, listening to David cleverly coax Chas in and out of his contrived person - Neither knowing nor caring where the line of division frolics. In the end, Chas is an everyman in...”Read full review »

“The younger, rowdier sibling of the Surf Splendour podcast.
Always entertaining and refreshingly irreverent take on current affairs in the surf world and anything else that warrants attention. Has tipped me off on more than a few 'must watch' TV shows that I would otherwise have...”Read full review »

“The bad-news bears of pop-surf culture. Never a dull moment with these SoCal bros.
WSL should hire these guys as consultants, seriously. Or have they already, and it’s all a big heist?”

“I had a long layover in a hotel, I listened because i feel obligated as there are no shows about surfing, and I’m in the business of surf, I battled thru the 1.5 hr podcast, this podcasts is as boring as the WSL who’s ceo the closest he ever got to surfing was supping in the Great Lakes of United...”Read full review »

“I’m an avid podcast listener. I listen to everything from The Joe Rogan Experience, to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History and many other’s in between both surf and non-surf related. And I can honestly say that this is my favorite podcast, by far.

“I am one of those guys, thanks guys for the banter keeping me company in the shaping bay. Been listening to the network for 3 years appreciate the content. Also just a side note found The Grit way more fun since the demise of WSL, enjoying the broader outlook.

“Even as so many compeatators have entered the surf podcst field, DLS proves that his years of committment and work honing his craft has kept his far above the field. He knows how to produce quality and has really sharpened his interview skills. Love Chas, but on his own his lack of podcast...”Read full review »

“Hi Guys
I loved the most recent show with Devon. It’s great that you guys are exploring that stuff. Putting the boot in to the ELO and the WSL all the time is a bit boring because it says more about Chas than them. I have been surfing since I was 8 and I am now 49 so I am the crusty local that...”Read full review »

These guys are entertaining yet make you pause and think that maybe what you thought isn't actually so.
And when they get started on popular culture you still want to stay tuned.

“Not to be confused with Surf Splendour (which is a great Podcast), this isn’t really about surfing. Just rambling from 2 insecure guys that feed off each other. It often descends into blatant chauvinism and jokes about suicide, mental health and school shootings. Calling out surfers for not going...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast! It’s such a refreshing reprieve from typical surf media with a stripped down, no B.S. conversation between two surfers. Sure they cover current topics but thankfully it’s not the surf news.
David and Chas take time to meander through topics just like real people do with real...”Read full review »
