Chapter 4 takes us to Taghazout, Morocco, where ancient tradition collides with a thriving surf scene. We trace the evolution of this former fishing village through the eyes of those who shaped it, starting with Saad El Kilani, who first rode Anchor Point, the fabled righthander surfers from all over the world pilgrim to.

As we dig deeper into Taghazout's story, we ride shotgun with Othmane Choufani, the town's export to the global big wave scene. Through his eyes, we witness the transformation of his hometown and the complex emotions that come with such rapid change.

Ramzi Boukhiam's story unfolds next, chronicling his rollercoaster journey to the Championship Tour. His decade-long struggle not only showcases his individual determination but also embodies the resilient spirit of Moroccan surfers as a whole.

And finally, we meet Mariam El Gordon, five-time national champion, who opens up about navigating the complexities of being an Amazigh woman, a Muslim, and a surfer in modern Morocco. Her story beautifully illustrates the delicate balance between honoring tradition and embracing progress that defines contemporary Moroccan surf culture.

From The Podcast

Duct Tape Theory

Duct Tape Theory blends the immersive appeal of documentaries with the intimate storytelling of podcasts and the power of words, stripping back the layers to reveal the throbbing heart of action sports, adventure and life at the fringes of our maps. Each chapter represents a postcard from a place that's left its mark on the adventure and action sports world, as host and creator Sunny Fassler passes through - trading waves, toasting drinks, trading tales with locals and travelers alike, cherishing the long nights and reminiscing the fleeting days.But every place hides its own magic, a unique quality that only those who call these places home can truly convey. That's why in each chapter, Sunny is joined by four friends, each offering a unique perspective to help paint a vivid picture of their corner of the world. Bound by a shared passion for storytelling and adventure — some of us are riders of boards and beasts, climbers of rocks and chasers of air, while others are kings and queens of concrete and artists of their own fate.Each chapter brings you face-to-face with the individuals who have left indelible marks on their communities and the restless spirits who continue to push against the horizon - an enduring testament to the fact that life at full tilt is the only way to truly feel alive.The show is an unapologetic celebration of the unexplored and a deep dive into a world where culture, people, purpose, and the thrill of the unexplored collide.Duct Tape Theory is for those who celebrate the appeal of the unexplored, embrace an open mind, and toast to the unapologetic spirit of adventure.Are you with us?
