Yes we all know Matt has a much better format that the WSL should listen to and adopt but they choose not too, so we live with this situation. Looking at a 3-4ft swell, Darren and Matt run a heat by heat prediction for to decide who will be the 2024 WSL Women's and Men's World Champions. We talk surfboards, turns, judges, commentators, Kelly Slater and more! Do you agree with us?

Episode 108 - We Review A Surf Horror Film + Olympics' BreakdownFamously Matt does not watch any horror or thriller films, until the last week. Watching Kerby Brown's Facing Monsters, he quickly realised this was a Surf Horror film, that is made to the highest standard. All jokes aside, that Kerby and his brother manage to pull off is nothing short of elite level, but with a giant side dish of terrifying. We can't recommend this film enough, it's on par with Free Solo and 14 peaks. Alongside this, we break down an early forecast for Tahiti and the Olympics. Listen in to hear our picks for medalists and what we are very much worried about too. Enjoy, subscribe, share and send it!Follow us at @the_insiders_podcast - Link In Bio

We speak about some but we know more are out there! Enjoy this, share with friends and subscribe. Follow us at @the_insiders_podcast - Link In Bio

Episode 106 - We're Not Angry, Just Disappointed Listen in to this episode where we discuss the latest in the surf world. Mainly focusing on STAB's recent air wave comp, STAB High along with featuring a quick run down on the WSL event in Brazil too. Both of these events left us disappointed, not angry, but not happy and for differing reasons. Stab - We expected better, it was not quite the spectacle it should have been watching live, our opinion, it should have been recorded and packaged... but it was still a lot of fun! WSL - The wave is not world class, it's hard to get excited watching it over and over and J Bay was on at the same time but we couldn't watch it... do better. We also touch on some more core surfing news too! Tune in, enjoy and share! Follow us at @the_insiders_podcast - Link In Bio
