I take back what I wrote earlier - looks like they've cracked it.  Amazing.

Back from a weeks holiday in Bali and thought I'd try out my limited flat water SUP experience on some waves so booked a session with the Rip Curl surf school. Ended up doing a downwinder whilst waiting for a squall to blow over and then spent some time on a nice mellow reef break of maybe 3 or 4 foot. First time I've ever tried it but was consistently catching waves and riding them out, and started to get the hang of using the paddle to stabilise yourself whilst turning.

All I can say is I loved it, one of those rare moments where you do something completely new, makes me want to try and get out next year again.

Some surf-pr0n for those who are getting a bit disillusioned with the whole big-wave-tow-in-cock-waving trend. He knowz how to cut a turn.

Excellent - a nice tribute to Brock.  Timing couldn't be better.  Looks big and lots of swell.   :popcorn:

This is nuts! Closing out across the bay... the safety patrol gunning for the beach.

Apparently this is what happens when you go surfing when it's 16 below  :-\

Looks more like he's blown a seal.

That Morocco vid is great.  My favourite type of surfing, big long walls, lots of speed and big open carves.   Had my mouth watering and thinking about flights!

He has an interesting style - he looks very upright and not "strong" - like any bump might throw him off, but then he seems to have a very fine balance and control so keeps it all clean and smooth. (not that I know anything about surfing....)

Did you see the previous one? Beyond belief:



I'm almost glad this will never happen to me, as you'd have nothing left to live for...

I think it's the same swell and same beach as the one I posted the clip of. Sadly never made it to within 200km of the coast when I passed through.
