EP 124: Ashton Goggans Returns - Thoughts on the Rip Curl WSL Finals, The new No Contest coming this month, Stephanie Gilmore’s future, Brazilian dominance, Electric Acid Surfboard Test, His insane production during lockdown, and What’s next from Stab

Stab editor-at-large and producer Ashton Goggans returns to the
Lineup Podcast. He talks about what he’s been up to over the last
few years, including launching Stab Premium, creating the
documentary Andy Irons & The Radicals, working on a new
Electric Acid Surfboard Test and Stab In The Dark, and making surf
movies while being locked down in Los Angeles. He describes
watching the Rip Curl WSL Finals from Brazil and shares his
thoughts on the format, Steph’s historic win, Filipe’s
breakthrough, the surfers who impressed him most, and why he was
rooting for Jack Robinson. He talks about working for the past six
months on No Contest (dropping this month), evolving it from a
behind-the-scenes tour show to more of an in-depth travel show,
partnering with Red Bull, his Bourdain-like approach, and all the
wild places the show has taken him over the past year. Ashton also
touches on what he’d love to see Steph Gilmore do next, Electric
Acid Surfboard Test’s disruptive collaborations, the dominance of
Brazilians on the Championship Tour, what’s coming next for Stab,
and what his job title actually means. Follow Ashton here. Check
