Backside pig dogging tubes-particularly where you grab rail from the take off and just slip straight under the lip before it takes you out and then just sitting inside it and trimming with your arm in the wall and weighting and unweighting the board holding trim and then the thing opens up on you and you get to go out onto the face and drive the macking back hand cutback back up into the lip- hmmmmmmmmm.

G-Land here I come........

A massive airial of any kind satisfys me, but usually just a massive frontside boost over a section. Barrels are a pleasure, but i find em' easier so it aint so special on most days :(

thats your opinion but it doesn't need to be something diffucult to enjoy. Of course i can see how pulling off a decent trick is very rewarding, but damm, barrels are just something else hey.

Late take off on my back hand, rocking from rail to rail just before cranking that first turn, then a snap under the lip, then feeling the rail dig into the wall and coming out from inside, then into the round house and into another snap off the lip......................such a joy. :D

Floaters for me. I just love getting on the points , cranking some speed and letting it all glide along. Plus i'm not much of a barrel rider.

don't really think that there are 'maneuvers' with a shortboard - more just variations on turns !

Sick, big heavy barrels and carves, and whole waves put together right.
