Good Thursday to you, fine folks of surf.

Clearly the 2025 Gremmy Awards have not yet begun, but I've got two categories about 90% written so maybe they should have by now. I'm thinking within a week they'll start and hopefully continue steadily from there.

After last month's relative dearth of new surf releases, sure enough October picked up the pace, accelerating towards Halloween day. And sure enough there were a ton of releases on that day. Stop doing that. Anyway, shall we unwrap some leftover Halloween candy?
