Former competitor and current WSL commentator Jesse Starling joins Dave Prodan as guest co-host to break down all the action from the Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro Presented by GWM. From standout performances at Snapper Rocks to the shifting momentum of the 2026 season, the duo dives into key storylines, including Stephanie Gilmore’s and Ethan Ewing's breakthrough 2026 win. They bounce back and forth with heat analysis, Brazil taking back the Yellow Jerseys in Luana Silver and Gabriel Medina atop the rankings, and what these results mean heading into the next stop. Jesse brings a unique lens as both a former competitor and current voice of the sport, offering insight into the pressure, strategy, and evolution of today’s CT field with sharp takes, behind-the-scenes perspective, and a deeper look at who’s rising, who’s slipping, and what it all means moving forward on tour.
