Re: Technique for generating speed on gutless waves?

Never ridden quad but imagining they should go well in less power situations. I generally don't worry too much about grinding off a heavy bottom turn when wave power, size and length is going to be limited. Stick to the top 3rd of the wave and do your wiggling up there.

Just watched this again this arvo for the millionth time and FF'd through the credits and found the behind the scenes bit for the 1st time. Gold! Gigs with his "chiwawa with an umbrella" is an utter classic.

HHmm, not sure what to think about these once unblemished areas being frequented by the likes of camera toting self promoters. So far it's under control I suppose, until the cameras start pointing back toward the coast.... Anyway there's only deep offshore shark infested slabs in this area. Nothing ...

One of the local guys here had a go at them because he likes to stand sometimes and thought they'd be less of an impediment (than normal fins)getting to his feet. He found they were too far foward to get any useful push. As previous posters have mentioned, floundering away with these things give eve...

Here in god's country (SW WEST oz) we have a pumping 1.3m swell. This morning it had just enough grunt for a few lil ones at a very secret bay just west of Yallingup. But the big thing is, I pushed my 5yo into his first kneeling wave! I'm still smiling and so is he.
