He was running up and down the midlengths... no points for style thoughThud wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 2:47 pmNot to be argumentative, I thought it showed an amazing surfer so hard wired to his board type that he could not get to grips with 80% of the boards.

Saying all that Stephs seems to pick up different boards really easily, a question of subtlety and style, perhaps.

Good idea, it would have ideally suited a man whose rear foot straddled the twin fin "V" behind the leash plug, I'm sure he would have appreciated riding from the tail and not having to move his feet

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Exactly. The whole time it looked like he had the handbrake on. Totally the wrong DNA for those boards. They’d have been best off under the feet of a bunch of San Diego surfers with valiumed out skip frye styles.

100%. Married to HPSB. He actually looked like someone who'd been surfing for a year on that single. He rips, I love his surfing, but he's not a very versatile surfer. Think about the progression of Nat Young etc...I think it was great because it shows just because you can rip on one type of board doesn't mean...blah blah..,you get my drift.Cranked wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 3:19 pmHe was running up and down the midlengths... no points for style thoughThud wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 2:47 pmNot to be argumentative, I thought it showed an amazing surfer so hard wired to his board type that he could not get to grips with 80% of the boards.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I saw enough to think he could ride midlengths perfectly and beautifully and better than just about everybody else. But, as he explained, particularly when surfing in front of the camera, if he did that he would feel like 'a poseur' and 'an asshole'.

Just saw this. He was one of my late Uncles best mates. They moved up from Cronulla at the same time.Trev wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 5:32 pmI didn't know this guy but a number of my friends did.
Apparently hit his head on the board.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
He was hopeless on the first 2 to 3 boards. Killed it on the Neck Beard, all right on the Lost and great on the last two. Guys a gorilla. Low in style high in power.

I'll say it. There's a lot of board there. A major risk.jimmy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 6:54 pmJust saw this. He was one of my late Uncles best mates. They moved up from Cronulla at the same time.Trev wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 5:32 pmI didn't know this guy but a number of my friends did.
