Recorded on Wednesday 9th December 2015 with Harry Knight, Asher King and Jessie Carnes INTRODUCTION: Jessie started by talking about surfing with Ru and Asher and dropping in on Ru "Always makes me laugh when Jessie has that cheeky grin that says "I know you're there Ru and I'm going anyway"."

THE NEWS: First up in the News this episode was the Big Wave World Tour event at Pe’ahi (Jaws) in Maui that took place last week. The guys also spoke about the GoPro footage from some of the competitors, and how huge the waves looked even thorough a fisheye lens. We then went on to speak about the Surfer Poll Awards that took place on the same day. We mentioned Dane Reynolds’ movie Sampler winning “Best Short” as well as Fisherman’s Son winning best Documentary, and Harry Recommended checking out the “Tour Notes” web series that won an award as well. Asher then brought up Even Geiselman’s accident at Pipeline, and his rescue by Andre Botha.
