Ever turned to the internet for a little surf etiquette advice… and left feeling like you got drop-kneed in the soul? Yeah. Same.

In this episode, we dive into what really happens when you post a photo of a near-collision on Reddit—thinking you did everything right—and the crowd decides otherwise. Suddenly, it's not just your angle or turn up for debate. It's your skills. Your board. Your very presence in the lineup.

We break down expectation bias, internet armchair critics, and how to actually learn from feedback—without letting it crush your stoke. Because guess what? Only you know what happened on that wave. And sometimes, the best move is to take the good, ignore the noise, and go surf it out.
