Written By Aaron Hughes

This year professional surfing doesn't slow down after the world champion is crowned, if anything it heats up, as the Challenger Series kicks off and we see 64 extremely hungry women vying for 6 positions on the 2022 Championship Tour.

On this week's episode we catch up with two of those women, both incredible surfers and great friends, San Clemente's Kirra Pinkerton and Bali's Kailani Johnson, as they embark on the most important 4 events of their career so far.

In our Hot Topics we catch up with Lucy Small on Equal Pay for Equal Play in NSW, learn about La Muse with founder Charmaine Adams, welcome back Samantha Sibley after injury and check out the Supergirl Pro.

Speaking of the Supergirl Pro, Jess Grimwood gives us the full breakdown in the The Grind, along with her picks from Europe and South America for the Challenger Series, which kicked off this week in Huntington Beach, California.
