| 0:00.0 | NVS Finns has made this show possible. |
| 0:10.0 | And honestly, they have made my surf experience better in the past year and a half or so. |
| 0:16.0 | And listener feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. |
| 0:19.0 | We don't do a ton of these partnerships, but this specific one is a prime example of how it should work. |
| 0:24.6 | It's a win for you, it's a win for me, and it is a win for them. |
| 0:28.6 | They make fins for surfboards, and their Apex series is superior to whatever you're accustomed to riding. |
| 0:36.6 | By virtue of the G10 autoclave laminated |

| 1:29.9 | out to Travis at Cubicle Brand. And then also months ago, one listener emailed me to tell me that |
| 1:36.6 | he got NVS to make him a single custom set of fins just as a one-off. So no job is too small nor too big for NVS. So that's really what's |
| 1:48.6 | kind of beautiful about a small industry like surfing is that you can have small brands that |
| 1:54.7 | offer the highest quality product, personal and direct customer service, and also the lowest price. |
| 2:02.5 | SurfNVS.com is their website. |
