Today’s episode of Grit! was recorded at Album Surf in San Clemente, California where Matt Parker generously loans Chas an asymmetrical board and explains he design theory and why it’ll help Chas shred harder than ever.

In this gargantuan sized episode of Grit, David and Chas discuss why Derek Reilly left Stab and co-founded Beach Grit, whether it’s okay for a 35 year old dad to skateboard, SUP’r fist fights, Drugs vs Booze, 360s vs 540s,

So much grit since we last met! David and Chas bite into ultra hard beach candy, the subtext, and what’s happening behind the scenes over at BeachGrit; including the firing of writer Michael Ciaramella, the ideal physique required to shred,

David and Chas answer listener inquiries, review the worst boardshorts on the market, critique Albee Layer’s musical tastes and intellect, analyze hipsters’ contributions to surfing, and then the boys seek barrel. Enjoy! Special thanks to Surfrider.

Chas Smith joins David Scales again to spill the gossip from over at Beach Grit. The boys ponder why no one is willing to discuss the details that surround Owen Wright’s head trauma. They then dissect Reno Abellira and Matt Warshaw’s Blood Feud,
