EP 230: Mitchell Salazar – Bells Winners & Losers, Jordy Smith’s resurgence, Rookie pressure, Goofyfoot drought, Shaper Rankings shake-up, What to expect at the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro & Fantasy Mega League leaderboard

After a short break, The Lineup with Dave Prodan, along with
part-time cohost and commentator-extraordinaire Mitchell Salazar,
is back and firing as we dive into all things Rip Curl Pro Bells
Beach Presented by Bonsoy and gear up for the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro
Presented by GWM at Burleigh Heads. Dave and co-host Mitch Salazar
reunite to unpack the highs and lows of Event No. 5 on the 2025 WSL
Championship Tour, with big shoutouts to Isabella Nichols and Jack
Robinson for ringing the Bell. From moody Easter weather and a
tough go for men's rookies, to the surprising stat that not a
single CT goofyfooter improved their ranking—this episode breaks it
all down. The crew highlights winners like Isabella’s late-season
surge, Kanoa’s fresh spark on JS boards, and Jordy Smith’s emphatic
rebuttal to any kind of “washed” narrative. We also check the pulse
of the Vissla CT Shaper Rankings, with ...Lost still out front.
Plus, we answer fan questions, drop fantasy league updates, and
tease what’s ahead for Gold Coast. Follow Mitch here. Play WSL CT
