Dave and part-time co-host Mitchell Salazar return to break down all the highs, lows, and critical storylines from stop No. 8 on the Championship Tour-the 2025 Lexus Trestles Pro Presented by Outerknown. With iconic Lower Trestles serving up a playground of high-performance conditions, Brazil's Yago Dora and Hawaii's Bettylou Sakura Johnson both earned their second CT victories of the year, launching themselves firmly into the WSL Final 5 conversation. Dave and Mitch dive into the biggest Winners & Losers of the event-highlighting breakout performances from rookie Joel Vaughan and wildcard Sawyer Lindblad, while calling out disappointing exits from Gabriela Bryan, Jordy Smith, and a clunky Elimination Round heat between Barron Mamiya and Kelly Slater. They also celebrate a historic weekend for …Lost Surfboards, who saw both event champs riding their boards, along with a dominant showing in the Vissla CT Shaper Rankings. The crew also checks in on Fantasy Surfing standings, dishes out tips, and fields fan questions on air game technique, coaching insights, and CT requalification hypotheticals.
