EP 229: ON THE ROAD w/ Rosy Hodge - Insights from the 2025 Surf City El Salvador Pro Presented by Corona Cero, Start/Stop Forecasts, Event standouts, and Commentating

Reporting from Surf City El Salvador, former CT surfer and current
WSL commentator and Rip Curl athlete, Rosy Hodge, joins us on the
podcast for another ‘On The Road’ edition of The Lineup. Rosy
breaks down the latest shake-ups at Punta Roca, Isabella Nichols
narrowingly making heat against Caroline Marks, upsetting her
chances at a 3-peat win at the Surf City El Salvador Pro, as well
as Rookie Bella Kenworthy defeating Erin Brooks in the Round of 16
despite her knee injury. Rosy and Dave both discuss standouts of
the event, Ethan’s progressive style on the rail, and Rosy’s picks
to win the event. Rosy riffs on gear talk, sharing board banter
with insights on shapers like Marcio Zouvi, Matt Biolos and Britt
Merrick on the ground in El Salvador. She explains why the
evolution of women’s surfing—especially in heavy waves—is what
excites her most right now. Bringing a fresh, layered perspective
to the mic—one shaped by years on the CT, life as a mom, and a
front-row seat to the sport’s biggest moments as a commentator,
Rosy shares how she’s finding more joy in surfing than ever before,
from catching waves herself to watching her son, Hayes, discover
the water, and what she’s looking forward to most in the world of
competitive surfing. Follow Rosy here. Stay tuned to the Surf City
