Duct Tape Theory

Duct Tape Theory blends the 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?

Raw Files | 77' World champ Shaun Tomson on the loss of a child and the day surfing stopped being about winning

"First is first and second is nothing." That's how Shaun Tomson saw the world as a '77 world champion in our final edition of Raw Files from our Mental Health chapter. Victory meant silence. Strength meant swallowing loss. But when his 15-year-old son died playing a schoolyard game, no amount of competitive grit could fill the void.

Today, Tomson walks into maximum security prisons, board rooms and surf competitions with twelve blank lines. Each starts with "I will." The toughest inmates break down, writing "I will forgive myself."

Through his own darkest hours, Tomson discovered that real strength lives in vulnerability - a revelation that mirrors professional surfing's evolution from forced stoicism to a world where champions dare to say "I'm not okay."
