EP 237: Mitchell Salazar – Yago & Bettylou’s second 2025 CT win, Breaking down Trestles, Listener Q’s, Fantasy sleeper picks, and the domination of …Lost Surfboards ahead of the Rio Pro

Dave and part-time co-host Mitchell Salazar return to break down
all the highs, lows, and critical storylines from stop No. 8 on the
Championship Tour—the 2025 Lexus Trestles Pro Presented by
Outerknown. With iconic Lower Trestles serving up a playground of
high-performance conditions, Brazil’s Yago Dora and Hawaii’s
Bettylou Sakura Johnson both earned their second CT victories of
the year, launching themselves firmly into the WSL Final 5
conversation. Dave and Mitch dive into the biggest Winners &
Losers of the event—highlighting breakout performances from rookie
Joel Vaughan and wildcard Sawyer Lindblad, while calling out
disappointing exits from Gabriela Bryan, Jordy Smith, and a clunky
Elimination Round heat between Barron Mamiya and Kelly Slater. They
also celebrate a historic weekend for …Lost Surfboards, who saw
both event champs riding their boards, along with a dominant
showing in the Vissla CT Shaper Rankings. The crew also checks in
on Fantasy Surfing standings, dishes out tips, and fields fan
questions on air game technique, coaching insights, and CT
requalification hypotheticals. Follow Mitch here. Play WSL CT
