Hell what would I know . I've could never surf like that and definitely never will. But is it fun to surf like that?, the better surfers on this site may be able to tell me. Sure it looks athletic and "awesome" and stuff but sheet just give me Joel Tudor on a long board or Leco Salazar(?) on that stupid thin SUP or Keahi de Aboitiz on that blue board at "boiling pot"(I think) or dogman on that 12'6. Now that's surfing...... For me and I may be completely of beam here but "high performance" surfing is incredibly dull. It's like aqua formula 1 motor racing, dull as dog ****
Log man its not the size of the wave its not the size of the board you ride that gives you the buzz..any size wave and board does that.... its all about drawing different lines angles and drive which creates the feels and different sensations we all like and making a board slot slide carve and send ice of the rails..........OPEN YOUR MIND MY FRIEND

and get barreled
More pro surfers need to watch tom curren with out doubt his style is as good or better than many surfing now
good post
