Episode 1
On this episode of The Surfing Podcast we sit down with the man who snaked Dane Reynolds on one of the most famous waves of the 2016 El Nino surf season.
The video clip of this wave at Sandspit went viral drew ire and vitriol from hundreds of surfing (and Dane) fans around the world.

This is our interview with Chuck Rigano, the surfer who had the misfortune of burning one of the most famous and well-liked surfers in the history of the sport.
While most surfers wrote Chuck off as being a jerk, kook, or something worse online and assumed the drop-in was a blatant hackjob by an egotistical douche.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.
We were happy and proud to sit down with Chuck on the inaugural episode of our podcast to clear the air about the Drop-In Heard ‘Round The World and to set the record straight on #SnakeGate. And, for the record, here are a few photos of Chuck ripping below.
