This story goes deeper than you think. In this episode of The Drop, Mikey and Buck break down a huge week in surfing, which ranged from quarter-century sponsor splits, Middle East wavepools, world records, the world's cheapest surfers (us), and an age-old debate: PU vs EPS. Don't be scared, drop in.

Big-budget brands are culling their teams. Small, surfer-led ops are on the rise. Is this what a revolution feels like? On this week's ep, Mikey and Buck discuss the recent Boardriders sponsorship cliff and what it means for the industry as a whole. Then Kolohe Andino comes on and reminds us what surfing is really about.

October 31, 2023 will mark the end of the largest number of surf contracts in a single day — ever. The majority of the affected surfers ride for Quiksilver, Billabong, and RVCA — all brands under the Boardriders/Authentic Brands Group umbrella. Mikey and Buck discuss this sponsorship cliff and myriad other topics on this week's episode of The Drop.

The numbers will surprise you. On this week's episode of The Drop, Mikey and Buck settle the great wax debate (not really) and ask not what Kolohe Andino can do for himself, but what Kolohe Andino can for everyone else around him.
