indeed :freak3::freak3:

That second wave of the video is almost impossible to believe. (Slater?) must've been worked 4-5 seconds in that collapsing foam vortex, and still he came out smiling!!

Hard to imagine how they're going to take tube riding much farther.

Also, guys are now paddling into 40-50 ft+ deep-water reef monsters that would have been considered strictly tow-in a very few years ago.

The outer edge of athleticism and guts!!

Cheers :biggthump

No Doubt :) Milk is now covered with Goats :eek:

Never saw kudzu either. No kudzu, no goats!! Everybody knows that. Only use for goats is kudzu control!!

Maybe they're mountain goats? Yeah, that's it. They must be mountain goats!

Don't know if mountain goats surf, but they've got the balance thing down pat!

Baahh !!

BB :cool:

New Zealand competition pro's - 54 % time spent paddling out to the waves. During contest heats, sustained heart rates of 120; intermittent 190. Only 8% time actually riding but board speeds of 25 - even 30 - mph.

also known as "The Paul Strauch Stretch." Surf histories quote him as saying he developed this move out of necessity. His board, with a wide tail block, was unstable in big surf at high speeds. He found that out on the nose, rail and skeg engaged, he could maintain a tight line with no wobble.

Makaha or Sunset?
