This has got to be the best down-wind vid that I've ever seen.. It show just what its like out there cruising on these huge boards.

You can also see why these boards are shaped how they are and why some people love it so much.

That's awesome shows it as it is

Love the way some guys are paddling furiously and another guy, who is not paddling, flies past like they are standing still

But some did not have ankle straps

Hey DJ
That was fantastic I sat my wife down in front of it and explained this is why I must have one and have finally got the go ahead. I met Dale Chapman at the Mullumbimby to Brunswick paddle today and think I will buy one of his boards it will be weird praying for a howling southerly every weekend now.

Yep, first vid I've seen that really captures catching runners, ocean swell. Very noice find.

I'll be happy to show that to friends at work, who want to know what it's like. I think the whole d/w experience is extremely difficult to capture on film.

PTWoody - there's your challenge, just leave your 80's music collection in your car.

Yes DJ I have a seven year old daughter and a year ago she looked up at me and said ""Dad I dont want to do ballet anymore I wanna go surfing with you " my heart was doing a cartwheel while I looked at her mother and said what a shame honey. Maddy hasnt looked back and surfs with me every weekend.

Inspiring footage allright.The one thing these guys seem to have in common (apart from alot of talent) is a sub 60 kg bodymass.
Or is that what happens to us point 1 tonners after a couple of PortBeach -Swannie DW runs Hilly?

I've got a 17ft custom SIC F-16 if you got any wind & swell these boards just go they are the BMW's of the ocean. Had some AMAZING[b]ALLTIME RUNNERS on this board. I got this runner last week for like 250/300 metres I was just standing there like the DUKE, my GPS watch said I was traveling at 24km/hr STOKED[/b]

For some reason, I can't open the clip at the top of this thread.

How can I find it by searching directly on YouTube?

That might not work, it was a private video when Bill Boyum first sent it to me. Try this:
you'll have to add the www to the beginning.

For that matter this might work better for you:


I'm adding direct video streaming to Kenalu so we can show good video like this without the Youtube crap resolution. Bill is sending me a 720p version. Getting the video server to work is a major PIA, but this is a good inspiration to get it done.

Makes me homesick for Maui, though we're getting some great runs in the columbia River gorge lately. No substitute for Maliko though. the guys say it's been rocking.

Just checked it out then. I can now see the appeal.
Definitely looks like more fun than I thought. Riding those runners is practically surfing.

Hey Craigus, that is a very mild Maliko day. Once the swells get to two or three times that size you are most definitely surfing them!
