Awwsome vid. Got me thinking:
"Would it be possible for surfers to dial a shove it or other skate style tricks"? Or have they already?
Already done long ago... they even had a competition for the first real kickflip.
I'm still wondering when "waveriding" turned into dangling around hooked-in between waves??? I saw maybe 3 or 4 nicely riden waves in there, the rest were offshore speed runs or hooked in wiggles.
One thing that was actually sick however was the unhooked flat 3, that is pretty hard.
But I just can't help but think these guys would be far better off if they just got a wakeskate if they are not riding waves, otherwise it's like taking your downhill board to the park.
p.s.
Doing a shuv-it trick on a surfboard hooked in with your kite straight up is actually pretty easy. So if you want to do it, have a try, it's not that hard. Just remember to pop out of the water first and then kick it around with your back foot and push with your front.
or would that not be legit , wakeskaate snake steak
