Difficult clip to watch, and I lost count on the number of times the scene was clipped so it didn't show him stacking the landing. In saying that there were some pretty cool moves in there. I'm happy enough when I get going strapless on flat water!

I'ts great to see guys like this pushing the sport along (it did seem to get stuck there for a while with the same old handlepass stuff , no disrespect to the riders intended its bloody hard and I don't do it but its just seems to be the same old same old ) it would be great to see some unstrapped big air stuff on vids ad at comps
On the downside why do the clips always have crap gangsta rap music ?.If they're gona use it they should at least check out s.mouse

OK nice troll, I will bite for you.

1. He's hooked in and going upwind every single air.
2. That Gangstarr song is the most played out song possibly ever, you especially know you can't use a song if Dre has used it in one of his own videos, so minus a million points just for that.
3. What's so special about this vid? He landed a couple of straight airs upwind and hooked in? Am I missing something.
4. The whole thing was shot on GoPro, minus another million points.

Ok for your first point. Am I missing something? would you like to tell me how exactly this is "pushing the sport"? because I really don't see it. Please tell me how Up-wind airs hooked in are also not "same old same old"... Because they are, and they are ridiculously easy, a lot easier than doing any sort of "handlepass" as you put it.
Also would you like to explain how it "got stuck for a while"? haha.
It didn't get stuck, progression just started to slow down like in any sport, that is just what happens.

Also as for the song choice, yes it was a very stupid choice of song, but if you can't appreciate a Guru song, possibly one of the all time best there's something wrong with you. All styles of music are good in my opinion, as long as it's not corny ass country and western.

Neat vid, thanks for sharing.

As others have said I definitely prefer to see the landing (or lack thereof) for tricks. It confirms the riders stuck it otherwise always gives a few giggles...

You guys are missing the point apart from Gruzi, when you are like me and 45 years old, well past your prime, seeing a video that looks like a lotta fun in ****ty 2 ft surf and is WAY past my personal skills on a surfboard. He looks like my 11 yeear old son on his skate board doing ollies and push its, hey and I can't do those either anymore, the concrete gets way, way harder with age.

I don't reckon this kid is trying to push anything, I reckon he is just having alot of fun in crap conditions

Amp up, Tony Hawk just turned 43 and did a 900 on his birthday at a demo... Still going strong, your only barrier is your mind (unless of course you physically can't do it for some reason).

p.s. @ Prawnhead... Note* I said "corny" country and western, not awesome country and western.
