the guy surfs really good. great bottom turn. however he spoils it for me by not finishing for his cutbacks because he wants to slide it all the time

the one time he want the whole way it looked dam good.
the odds slides cool. but its annoying then its done all the time
cheers

Thank god you don't judge the LB comps I go in

mac i've seen it done were its part of the move and it's really late and super critical as in they are riding the foam/lip back down- ie top ten pros, but even they don't do it allllllllllllllllllll the time and their the best at it

OK surfing but why do people continue to paddle across waves?

NIce vId, luv the way the kid looks for speed and jams it hard on a crappy wave, nice little enviro message,

8'0" wide ripper I rekon.

Flat turns, maybe a little but no different than everybody else......

Lacey, you have a bad day at work?

Yeah thats 17 y.old Matt Becker. He competed in the BOP on the weekend and came in 7th in the Elite 12'6 stock class and 8th in the Down Winder. So he can paddle as well!

Matt is also featured in this video in Sri Lanka.
Posted before, I know, but it is one of my favourites and worth a re-screening, I reckon!



Matt is coming down to Aus. in Nov. Dec. with I think, Conner Baxter and Riggs.

You know the sport is in good hands with kids like this! How cool would a session be with these guys and Jake Jensen - it make some great footage!

Lacey when are you going to post some videos of you surfing

Yeah you can tell he is really talented, gets great projection off his top turns - really good to watch those. I agree about the slide and lack of finish in pocket, but is easy to be critical - flatish rocker would contribute to this IMO. I love his energy.....oh to be young again!

Wasn't the audio track Metallica? Aren't they very copyright conscious? I hope Matt doesn't get awoken one night to find a balaclava clad Lars Ulrich shining a torch in his face.

It was indeed. The song is called Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)

Yes and the whole Metallica thing is funny, this track was featured on a video called Cliff Em All, which was made up of copies and bootlegs of concerts. now the same band that seem to promote it back then is the face of copyright.

Cool vid, i have nothing to say, he surfs way better than me.

Yeah watching the video makes me want to do two things: Pirate Metallica's Garage Days; and Lose Some Weight.

Anyway, I'm off to sit in front of the computer, do some tax returns while drinking a can of Mother.
