The Alive joins the pod from I-SEA HQ in San Clemente for a special
episode of The Lineup. With drummer Miles Elze, bassist/vocalist
Lawson Matthews, and guitarist/vocalist Bastian Evans in the
studio, the trio dives into their origins, the gritty early days of
the band, and what it’s like to play stages with rock legends like
Eddie Vedder, the Foo Fighters, and the late Taylor Hawkins’ band,
Chevy Metal. With their new single “Emancipated” out now and a
massive Sundown Sets show coming up at the US Open of Surfing in
Huntington Beach on August 1, the band talks preparation, energy,
brotherhood, and their shared goals of touring and playing bigger

With Finals Day firing at Jeffreys Bay, The Lineup returns to break
down all the action from the Corona Cero Open J-Bay. Host Dave
Prodan is joined by WSL commentator and part-time co-host Mitch
Salazar to unpack Connor O’Leary’s maiden CT victory and Gabriela
Bryan’s continued ascent to World No. 1 – both coached by Richard
“Dog” Marsh, making it a banner day for the Dog Pound. The crew
digs into Winners & Losers from South Africa, highlighting a
rare all-goofy-foot men’s final, the underwhelming wildcard
performances, and what the result means for surfers like Yago Dora,
who now holds the yellow jersey heading into the final stop of the
regular season. They break down the new-look Top 5 and the looming
pressure cooker at the Lexus Tahiti Pro, where the last World Title
slots are up for grabs. Plus, a look at the Vissla CT Shaper
Rankings where …Lost Surfboards has officially clinched the 2025
crown, a Fantasy Surfing update, and Instagram fan questions
covering everything from coaching dynasties to Finals scenarios.

Former Obama speechwriter and bestselling author David Litt joins
Dave Prodan on The Lineup to talk about his newest and most
personal project yet, It’s Only Drowning: A True Story of Learning
to Surf and a Search for Common Ground. Litt opens up about how a
pandemic-era battle with depression led him into the ocean, and how
a mismatched surf adventure with his brother-in-law Matt became an
unlikely bridge across political, personal, and cultural divides.
From his first freezing New Jersey paddle-outs in a 5/4 wetsuit to
wipeouts in 8-10 foot Zurriola in Spain, Litt shares a raw,
humorous, and deeply human journey into surfing from the outside in
and explores how surfing restructured his sense of time, identity,
and connection. Follow David here. Order It's Only Drowning: A True

Reporting live from Brazil, part-time cohost and WSL commentator
Mitchell Salazar rejoins Dave on The Lineup to break down all the
action, drama, and implications from the 2025 VIVO Rio Pro
presented by Corona Cero. California’s Cole Houshmand and
Australia’s Molly Picklum claimed breakthrough victories at Stop
No. 9 of the 2025 Championship Tour, but the event was anything but
predictable. Dave and Mitch dive deep into the biggest Winners and
Losers from Saquarema–from Griffin Colapinto’s title surge to
Filipe Toledo’s late-season stumble, and from the brilliance of
Molly Picklum to the heartbreak for Brazilian fans hoping for a
hometown champion. They break down the complexity of forecasting
the wave, the challenges of Saquarema backwash, and the mental game
of adapting on the fly. They check in on the Vissla CT Shaper
Rankings, where Matt Biolos and …Lost Surfboards have all but
cemented a three-peat as Shaper of the Year after a dominant Rio
showing. The duo also answer Fantasy League and Instagram questions
from fans around the world, including whether the women’s surfing
is officially more exciting than the men’s, and drop hints about
the final stretch of the CT season leading into J-Bay and beyond.
