Jacob Willcox placed second at Surf100 Western Australia. Could it have been first if he dragged slightly less corn? Let's find out.

Surf100 North Point is wrapped, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the local phenom and recent QS graduate Jack ‘Three-Hundo’ Robinson has won. The results were decided by you—the thousands who judged the event live from their homes. And one of you, a cat named Cam Stedman, won three spankin’ new Arakawa blades for his efforts. Congrats, Cam. If you missed it, check out Surf100.tv now.

The written word apparently still has a pulse, as a few unkind refrains on stabmag.com led to CT veteran Adrian 'Ace' Buchan calling out CUSP co-host Michael Ciaramella on Instagram this week.

This is a pilot for a new podcast on the Stab Podcast Feed, which has stolen the name of an old podcast on the Stab Podcast feed. The Drop (2.0) is a mix of conversations between the Stab staff about most compelling stories from the previous week in surf. Stories covered in this episode are: 00:49 Surfer Dies After Shark Attack At Rainbow Bay, Coolangatta With Ashton Goggans and Stace Galbraith 09:09 Recap of the week in surf With Danny Johnson 13:58 Which CTers Just Hopped On A Sneaky Boat Trip...

Did you know that WSL World #5 and recent Surf100 champ, Kolohe Andino, often rides his least favorite boards in competition? Why is that, and what has it done to his surfing? Mike and Stace investigate.

The WSL just revealed their new tour plans for 2020 and beyond. Stace Galbraith and Mike Ciaramella have some thoughts! Topics covered: Will the QS and CT really be able to run in Hawaii this Triple Crown season? Which Tour surfers are anti-vaxxers? What's this about a mid-year cutoff?!

Jake 'Snake' Paterson has a notoriously firm rump, hardened by years sand dune runs and sitting out the back for the wave of the day. While that wave didn't always arrive in his allotted half-hour, Snake always made great use when it did, taking down the Pipe Masters and Jeffrey's Bay event (x2) against admittedly superior surfers. After a decade on the Tour that was successful by most any measures (did you know Snake was once a single heat away from winning the World Title—true!), he moved onto...

Kolohe Andino joins Mick Fanning for the latest edition of Unplugged. They pontificate the biggest changes in the WSL over the past decade: a new look tour climaxing in a final single-day event to crown a world champion.

This week, 'RISS' star Carissa Moore joins Stab Unplugged with Mick Fanning, who chips away at her armor of optimism in an attempt to mine hidden truths. While relatively unsuccessful (Carissa's armor is forged of triple-plated steel), it was fascinating to hear a three- and four-time World Champion discuss what motivates and derails them, competitively. For Carissa, it's a lack of self-focus. For Mick, it's stoplights and compensatory wetsuit runs. We also asked Carissa if there was any truth t...

Stace and Mike are joined by a surprise guest who makes the argument for jet skis as a justifiable fetish. The boys also discuss which surfers will come out of Covid stronger than they went in and whether or not the WSL will run events in 2020.

For the third episode of Mick Fanning and Stab's interview series Unplugged, Mick and Stab's Sam McIntosh linked up with Gabriel Medina from his current location in Maresias, Brazil. Mick and Sam were able to unravel the famously mysterious Medina. Here's just some of the things we learnt in this interview: First job: No shit, Gabe Medina used to park cars as a six year old. The biggest waves he’s ever surfed have been in a jersey. Subject: Little help? The Pipe Masters forecast was looking huge...

In this episode, Stace and Mike meet with the WSL's Chief Brand Officer, Dave Prodan, to talk about the League's proposed changes, the public's overwhelmingly negative response to those changes, and exactly what is the WSL's core identity (as we can't seem to put our finger on it). Here's a breakdown, for the impatient type: 1:00 How the WSL is structured as a business 4:30 Does the WSL represent "surfing" as a whole? 7:30 what does Dave's job entail? 8:30 what is the WSL's core identity? 10:40 ...

In this episode, Stace and Mike discuss the WSL's proposed plans for the 2021 Tour and what their idealized versions of a CT would look like. Radical upheaval is the general consensus.

After two decades in the game, there are a few commonalities you can always rely on when dealing with a-grade talent: the first is that you need to be prepared to do plenty of waiting. Once a time and day were set for the interview, both surfers committed to a firm time date: 8am Tuesday in Australia and 12pm, in Hawaii. It was 7.53am and my laptop wouldn’t kick over. Frozen. A few resets and it whirred to life. It was 7.57am when I finally tuned into Zoom. There, both Mick and John were in full...

The Stab CUSP is back like a chicken with no head! Because surf comps are officially on hold til mid-2024, Stace and Mike have had to change the angle of the aptly-named Stab CUSP (Currently Untitled Surf Podcast). This week they'll be discussing the surf industry at large and whether or not it will survive our current recession. Because neither Stace nor Mike know anything the surf industry, they enlisted the expertise of Sam McIntosh (Stab's founder and noted media tycoon) and Mitch Crews (pro...

Welcome back to Stab's corner of the podcast universe, for our first episode of Stab M.I.C., a podcast about Money, Influence, and Culture (with an emphasis on high-performance surfing, of course). While we'll keep episodes of The Drop coming whenever we damned feel like, Stab M.I.C. will be a more regular occurrence. Filmed live at the Byrd's Nest in Newport Beach, and with their generous support.
