Oh yeah, that board "is sick"? How the hell can he tell that, all he did is stand and fall. What did he do to actually asses it's sickness? That's like getting on a motorbike and crashing straight into a wall over and over again only to express how great the bike handles.

Retard!

The man's got eggs for going out in that shite on a 5'6''...Not enough board that's for sure...

Pretty hokey video,and not very professional for a prof.surfer...Attention,any attention,positive or negative is still attention.Modern times folks.....

cheers

Kinda thought the same thing... and that guy is nothing but freakish talent. Mortals will get killed.

You either get it or you don't ... sums it up perfectly ... as stated quite early in the clip.
He did get smoked ... and got a couple of smokers ... at about the 5:15 mark he gets a killer barrel ... oh so deep ... he may be a freak ... but he's far from being a retard.
Nice to see another someone looking at the act from a different perspective ... quite refreshing actually ... nice looking boards.

Sometimes I think those pro's will say something about design or boards or whateva just to see if the sheep start buying those products. Funny thing about the video is they just really show the rides he gets pounded on. If he cant pull it off with all of his talent, then the average great backdoor surfer has no chance.

The huge day he towed in on a 4ft 11 in board was unreal! A longer boards only advantage is paddling. A short board with aparallel outline will draw as long a line as you want....WITH high SPEED. Watch THAT video on the same site! It's called simple plans and Mexican bombs .

The future?
Hmmmmmm......seems it was done a few years back.
I got it dialed before 1980.
A lot of my 4 fins ended up in Santa Cruz over the years.
Some for foot boarding.
The basic set up (fin angles, relative to front & rear) Stretch "figured out" is what I've been doing all along.
Small boards, big waves?

BTW, I've know Nathan and Bruce since they were 10 years old.
And catching sand dredging double ups at "Gums" next to Pipe is no easy task no matter how long your board is.
The set up works well in lesser surf to.........if you have the right approach, kneeboard surfing or footboard surfing.
