At least when the surfer takes new lines, approaches surfing differently, there's some variation to the wavepool dream, that, like too much of anything, soon becomes a nightmare. I love the return of older styles even when I'm incapable of that diversity myself.

stokedpanda Posts: 4226 Joined Forum: 09/04/2015	I think sometimes it looks like he is trying hard to surf a certain way, throwing hands up at odd times, standing with feet super close together etc. To me good style the rider shouldn't appear to be trying hard to do anything, like Parko! But the dude rips for sure ------------------------- I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

JBSURF Posts: 2125 Joined Forum: 10/11/2004	A well ridden wave always gets the nod!!! No matter what`s being ridden... We all can think back to a booger, longboarder, SUPer, shortie, fishy being ridden really well and thinking or saying, `Nice ride` Style is what it is, Good style is different, and obvious when seen... just sayin` ------------------------- I've decided to accept the fact - I'll always be a big kid!
