It stems from my Cretan (Sfakia -look 'em up) ancestry.

Footage of Renato Hickel, WSL dude surfing Kelly's pool.

As a competent but obv's recreational surfer.....he makes the wave look pretty ordinary.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
he's not even surfing, really. no attempt to stall and get covered up. just trimming. maybe there's a backstory there, like he's surfing with a torn achilles tendon, or was knee-capped the night before with buckshot from an old duck hunting rifle someone found?steve shearer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2017 11:23 amFootage of Renato Hickel, WSL dude surfing Kelly's pool.

... anyway, that's good contrast right there, shep. that wave looked like high tide alex headland, but going left, not right.

Carroll's going to have to pull out all his writing tricks to sell that.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Maybe his mission was a full length ride.
The wave still looks pretty sensational given that the wind is onshore.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
It's very, very rare that I see a surf video and think I could surf better than that.
Even when it's preceded by 'look at this fcuking kook, why would you upload this shit?!'
But I think this might be one of those times.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
You think so?
It looks boring to me, and he looks bored riding it. Which I suspect will be the achilles heel of pools.
To succeed they need a large pool of repeat customers prepared to pay and pay and pay. If people get bored and decided ocean surfing is a better deal than wavepools will wither and die.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
As a standalone commercial proposition, I remain sceptical and surfing the wave does not much interest me.
The 15 year old me would have frothed to ride it, I reckon.
I would be delighted if such a wave wrapped around a secret local point.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
we had such a secret point on Bribie........so secret it only broke once in 10 years.
That session is still being spoken about in hushed tones to this day.

It looks like the power has been dialled back a bit, not as hollow as the pro's surf it?steve shearer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2017 11:23 amFootage of Renato Hickel, WSL dude surfing Kelly's pool.
