    🔥 LAGO LISTENER EXCLUSIVE — 25% OFF CHILDE EYEWEAR We’ve teamed up with CHILDE Eyewear to bring LAGO listeners 25% OFF storewide for a very limited time only. 👉 https://childe.co/LAGO Now, onto the Trestles Pro... This week on LAGO, we break down one of the biggest talking points of the event: WHO GETS THE CUT? We look at who’s safe, who’s on the chopping block, and which surfers won’t be making the next two events. We dive into Erin Brooks’ incredible three-peat, chat about how Miggy Pupo just keeps getting better with age, and unpack some of the biggest performances and storylines to come out of Trestles. Then it’s time for the LAGO Fantasy League. We check the scores, see who came out on top, and find out who’s making moves as the season heads towards the business end. To finish things off, we chat with two of the future champions of the sport Loci Cullen and Leihani Zoric, fresh off their wins at the recent ISA World Junior Championships. Two names you’re going to be hearing a LOT more about.
