And the conditions were a let down for sure but still nice to get into trunks : )

Now that you brought it up, are we really sure those were trunks you were wearing? llol

Yea Ben! Miss seeing out in Sat Bch killing-it, but good to see you ripping as hard as ever! That clip is insane! Definitely worthy of getting published. I can't help there, however, as I'm just an old, no-name guy who also grew-up surfing in Satellite Beach and who still loves to surf, LOL. BTW...you may want to consider getting into some QS events...you could do very well!

Surfing is my passion...obsesssion... addiction! Can't imagine life without it!

@Cole L O L The short shorts are for optimum agility and speed so keep hating @everyone thanks for all of the love and also for all of the constructive criticism. It really halps me because I edit these things and I will be taking it all in and applying it when I edit the next one. Tom @ ESM picked it up and published it so if you would all go COMMENT on the ESM page and bring traffic there it would help A LOT ESM LINK "SIXTH BOROUGH"

Definitely enjoyed it, only things I could say is I didn't like that the first clip was him falling. Crazy how good some people are these days, you'd(is that you surfing?) be on the ct if you were surfing like that 15 years ago.

yes, its me and yeah I thought it was a cool looking air because of the inversion/framing but because I didn't pull it I figured that the title shot was a good spot for it. And that is the nature of sports and progression. It has gotten easier to be "good" due to equipment, the economy, technology, etc... But the whole field has risen to a higher level. For instance, I have surfed 3 local pro level contests in FL and gotten last place in my first heat every time... This is just to say that EVERYONE surfs good now.

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone!! As far as contests go I have never not gotten dead last place in a 'professional' contest so I do not think it is really something I am going to pursue but I love surfing and getting clips so I will for sure keep doing this

Your board designs do look more styled for air surfing than rail surfing. They kind of fight you on the roundhouses and that could be a scoring issue in contests. You have the air stuff down, as well as positioning for speed and power, so a coach like John Holeman might be able to work out the kinks and get you onto the podium with some cash in your pocked.

..or not. If you are happy turning heads in the lineup, keep doing what you are doing. I know I'd be looking over my shoulder, wonder what in the hell you were going to do next.
