Pipeline Day One: Should it Have Run? Plus, Women on the Cover of Tracks and Johanne Defay Picks Up a New Sponsor

While it's not the focus anyone wanted for the long overdue first women's CT to be held at surfing's most iconic break, you couldn't avoid the conversation no matter which surf community you were a part of, least of which the online - should the WSL have sent the women out to Pipeline on Monday, January 31, 2022?

We gauged our listener's thoughts, read through all the surf media reports (and the comments - not for the faint of heart!), conversed endlessly amongst ourselves and then recorded this little ditty for y'all.

We also talk day one highlights and preview more of the competition (much of which happened before we could release this episode, so, you know, take it with a grain of salt.)

In news that doesn't concern Pipeline this week, women made the cover of Tracks Magazine for the first time in its 50-year history and Johanne Defay picked up a new major sponsor. Shan & Rach discuss all that and more. Dig in!
