EP 174: Ashton Goggans Returns - Adventures in Morocco and Tahiti filming “No Contest,” Highlighting unexpected places, The importance of access in surf media, How Surfers Get Paid, The right tone for criticism, and The latest from Stab

Stab editor-at-large and producer Ashton Goggans joins the
three-timers club and returns to The Lineup to talk about
everything he’s been up to lately. He starts by discussing the new
season of No Contest: Off Tour, the interesting surfers and
unexpected places it highlights and getting to film, surf, and meet
the locals in Morocco, Tahiti, and beyond. He discusses his role at
Stab, the importance of access, making memorable content that
lasts, their illuminating series How Surfers Get Paid, and finding
the right tone for criticism. Ashton also touches on living in the
North Shore surf mecca, the proposed new judging tower in Tahiti,
the new Electric Acid Surfboard Test with Shaun Manners, the
compendium of surf history and stoke he is building, what a No
Contest Residency with Thermal would look like, and what
Championship Tour surfer he’d have the best chance against. Follow
