Knost over does it a bit but I prefer to watch that then the pump pump pump air which fills most clips these days

When they overdo it though it's so vomit inducing it's just as bad as air,air,air. How much time do you think they practise looking non chalant when cutting back with their hair flowing the right way?

I wanna know how their lower backs will be after all those years of soul arching too

Love him walking around his gentrified retro suburb taking photos with an old polaroid.

Hmmmm, do I see the Spinal Tap of surfing unfolding in front of my eyes? I'm not talking about just the band but the whole package.

Pretty sure he won't regret the lifestyle he's had ie, travel, waves, chicks, drugs, adulation, income, etc
But... when he looks back at some of those vids he is going to feel pretty shit about his actual surfing! All style over substance.
Love the spinal tap analogy

Back to mid lengths..
Years ago I had a Laguna Bay 7' 6 "mini mal" shaped by Phil Myers which I bought for my then girl friend. That board was a something special. Spent 4 months traveling between Sydney & Noosa after she was long gone and surfed it way more than any of my shorties. I have had a mid length ever since. Shaped well they so versatile, functional & fun!!

couldn't be bothered to watch the whole thing but was interested to learn from a google pop up ad that Cheyenne Horan was a world champion

There it is, conclusive proof that I need a new mid-length Zot, with the ideal measurements of 7' 5'' x 24'' x 4'' .
