      This was a special one, especially for a surf nerd, board geek like Matt. We are honoured to have had the chance to sit down and talk all things boards and surf, and more, with the genius that is Ryan Lovelace.

      We talk about the origins of Love Machine Surfboards. Hand shaping Vs Machine Shapes. Industry nonsence. A general love of surfing and surfboards and more.

      Listen in to hear how unique the Love Machine files are, learn more about the Trimcraft day to day, the new aura around a Lovelace hand shape and loads more!

      We also discuss the latest STAB Joyride with Mickey C and then tiny boards he rides, what files they came from and feedback on the boards.

      This was a huge privilege for us and we can't thank Ryan enough for his time!

      We aren't crying, you and Kelly are! Best Episode EVER!

      Episode 173 - We aren't crying, you and Kelly are! Best Episode EVER!

      Did we ever think we would describe a Stab In The Dark episode as deep, emotional, heavy, inspiring and gripping, but that is exactly what Episode 3 of the Kelly Slater SITD is.

      Yes we get to see the GOAT surf his best yet, with two boards standing out, in our opinion, but more so, the insights from the shapers take the spotlight again.

      Britt Merrick started the series being a bit, well of a moron, but this episode lifts the lid on a lot more then an initial impression and maybe we have been won over by the big guy!

      Other then this, Pyzel digging into Mayhem about how they started as anti comps and now are comp comp comp is hilarious and there are so many other highlights.

      Get onto STAB watch all the episodes and enjoy!
