EP 228: Mitchell Salazar – Relive the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal, Winners & Losers, Overcoming the turbulent and stormy conditions, …Lost Surfboards taking the lead, Lack of American representation in the rankings, & Fantasy Mega League leaderboard

Fresh off two weeks in Portugal calling the event, part-time Lineup
co-host and WSL commentator Mitchell Salazar joins Dave to break
down all the action from the MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal Presented by
Corona Cero. Mitch recounts facing the cold and stormy weather in
Supertubos, Dave shares his concern over the lack of American men
in the top rankings, and both discuss the struggle of the veteran
surfers on tour. On the flip side, the duo celebrate the goofy
footers having a standout event, praise the organizers for pulling
off a successful competition despite the unpredictable turbulent
winds that almost derailed the event, and the passionate Portuguese
fans delivered an electric atmosphere. Dave and Mitch continue to
muse over the current Vissla CT Shaper Rankings, which boards are
dominating the tour, how …Lost Surfboards had three out of four
riders in the semi-finals, and how smaller teams like Patterson and
Borst have managed to crack the top five. They wrap up the episode
