I watched the youtube clip. Dane reynolds surfs great, but the other tom still looks the goods too. How good are those bottom turns of his? how the freak does he get the speed and projection from those bottom turns? technique, or is he just that good?

It almost certainly has nothing to do with his technique.

It's a Mayhem. A few blokes are riding them.

More than a few too ... It seemed like Mayhems were everywhere.

Wilson, Taj, Andino, A brazah or two, Gaudang, and at least a couple more. They look like they go alright top to bottom and rail to rail.

I bet Nev is sweating bullets if Taj wins not just the Quik Pro, but a world title riding Mayhems

In choppy, bumpy surf, Taj's current surfing on the new board is like chalk and cheese compared to his firewire. Stick with the Mayhem I reckon!!!

He's ridden a pu mayhem/..lost board in a few comps before. They have a heap of boards available in firewire technology, so it's probably not a big deal. The firewires I have owned were fine through chop.

But I agree - whatever he is riding it looks fantastic! Taj, baldy or Kerr will take it I reckon.

Steve is busy battling Blasphemy Rottmouth over in Swellnet at the present time. It's pretty funny.

Taj and Firewire have more or less parted ways.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
