Under the Glass is back for a third season with pro surfer Brett Barley!

This season, the focus is on building the ultimate dream quiver straight from the REAL board loft. Brett selects five boards to cover every type of wave —from small, playful surf to serious barrels. He then put this quiver to the ultimate test, surfing the beach breaks of the Outer Banks, the reef breaks of Macaronis, and the teal blue perfection of the new wave pool in Virginia Beach.

Episode 1 kicks off the season with the small-wave specialist: the ..Lost Original Puddle Jumper '25. No matter how advanced you are, every surfer needs a great groveler. After listening to feedback from past seasons, Brett challenges himself to see just how small a wave he can ride on this board. Check out episode 1 to find out how the ..Lost OG Puddle Jumper performed and how Brett set up this small wave killer for optimal groveling.
