Real Water Sports is our new retail partner. This has actually been long overdue.

Partnering with a surfboard retailer is obviously a no-brainer. And Real Water Sports has spent 20 years building their business and positioning themselves perfectly to get surfboards to you wherever you are in the world.

Shipping is a low flat rate and they do special

collaboration boards with the likes of Chris Christensen, Maurice Cole, Lost, Pat

Rosson and they also have the best pricing on boards that you'll find anywhere.

So to kick off this partnership they're actually going to let one very

lucky listener win any board of your choice from their inventory. That is right. You can pick

any surfboard you want from their inventory of 1,500 boards and get it completely for free.

This isn't just for our podcast supporters. This is for anyone

within the sound of my voice. So just go to realwatersports.com slash podcast to enter. And a winner

will be randomly selected on October 5th. There's no purchase necessary. This is simply their way

to welcome you to their business.

It is a pretty incredible gesture. The owner, Tripp Foreman, is such a surfboard junkie that

Pat Rosson is actually employing him, along with Roger Hines, to judge the icons of foam shaping

competition at the boardroom show later this month. You know Roger. He's obviously a 50-year

board builder. So for a trip to be included on this kind of is an indicator for how much of a

surfboard junkie the guy is. And he's built this incredible business around surfboards.

So please consider real water sports for your next surfboard purchase. They actually carry a lot of surfboards from builders and brands that we have interviewed

and discussed on this show.

And in fact, today's episode is with Akila Ipa and Real Water Sports carries Akila's

flat earth model that you see Kelly Slater constantly riding and discussing.

So if you are the lucky giveaway winner on October 5th, you can pick
