It's been a bizarre back half of the year for the WSL's WCT, and I've actually been remiss to not post-script both Surf Ranch and France.

Both were a result of time constraints I'm

still learning how to manage my time as things get busier and busier around here

But first, these post-script episodes are supported by the Fin Rental Service called Fanatic.com.

They ship fins to your house.

It's $10 monthly, and that not only covers the fin rental, but it also covers all shipping costs back and forth.

So when you send fins back, they automatically ship the next set of fins from your queue.

Super easy to manage, and they stock all the main fins from all the major fin companies.

Fanatic.com is the website, but you have to use our promo code, which is the word podcast, if you want to support this show.

And when you do that, you actually also

get your first month's rental completely for free. So fanatic.com, our promo code is podcast,

and I will thank you in advance. And without further ado, here is my postscript to the Mayo Rip Curl Pro Portable.

where surfers were throwing themselves

over the ledge into heaving blue water barrels over shallow reef, trading ates, coupling courage
