Welcome back to the show. This is David Scales. I'm bringing you my recap of the Surf Ranch Pro presented by Hurley.

This used to be the five-minute recap, but I'm

rebranding the series as PostScript, as a follow-up to off-script and in keeping with my S-theme,

my S-logo, S shows, the word surf. Nevertheless, I have a recap and review of the Surf Ranch

event, and then the second half of the show will actually be my review of the Surf Ranch event.

And then the second half of the show will actually be my review of John John's brand new film,

Space.

A text version of that review is already up on BeachGrit.com if you want to revisit it there.

This PostScript series is brought to you by Fanatic.com, the fin subscription service

that allows you to test surfboard

fins. For a meager $10 a month, you can rent Futures, FCS, Rainbow Finco. You can manage your queue

on their website, drag and drop fins, rearrange the order for your priority picks, and then

Fanatic ships them directly to your house.

They include a return envelope and postage. There's no limit to how long or how short you keep

the fins. You can ride them once. You can ride them for a year straight. It is completely your call.

Your $10 a month is the same regardless. And that includes all postage back and forth. Fanatic.com also sells used fins at reduced prices. So if you like a set, you can buy them cheaper there than you'll be able to find anywhere else. We have a partnership with Fanatic. So use our promo code podcast, and you'll get your first

month free, and you will support this show. Fanatic.com promo code podcast. Thanks. Without further ado,

here is my post script to the Surf Ranch Pro presented by Hurley. The 2018 Surf Ranch Pro marks an inaugural event. Just prior to the start

of the event, the WSL released its schedule for 2019 and Surf Ranch was also included, showing an

optimism for how they felt the event would play out and also a commitment to their technology

and the engineering marvel that is

Surf Ranch. This event also marks an opportunity for the WSL to capitalize on ticket sales.
