That's the Teahupoo kid, yeah?
I'm keen to see his return to that place.
Yep, that's the guy. And my thoughts exactly, GF; in so early and so composed.
Thanks for that one, Stu.
Sat and watched the webcam for 20min this morning, and it looked incredible. Very high on my Yes Please list.

Surfline, GF. Sadly the only option over here.

Thanks IB, I never knew there was a camera on Sunset. Such a good wave, I can picture myself losing a few hours watching that.
This has to be one of the best kook slams , old mate surfing wouldn’t have been expected to get dropped in on like this .
hahahahah... ooow farkkk... cheers. @Supa..
young-gun Brazzo influencer 'Boardsnapper Bruno' up to his ol' tricks ; )
The same width throughout the quiver. Seems to be less common these days. I know Al Byrne was a proponent of it. I think I prefer adding a bit of meat and width for extra paddle and retaining a bit of outline curve as the boards get longer.

Wow, skinny little boards.
Heck yeah. I'd bring 6'10 DS, 8'0 Keogh, 8'6 DS. Full old man crutch quiver.
Jeez those Arakawa Wafers would Flex a Lot .
----------------------------------------------
Boards have got too wide thick and clunky with no flex these days.
Those look good….they will go fast and arc well.
My all time favs were 6 8 x 1 9 x 2 1/4” in proper waves.
But I was 85kg…..not now…ha.
Get in late and steep and feel the flex Udo……the longer boards offset the thickness….the spring out of the turns is worth the extra paddle power required.
Young guys should give them a go….at least have one in their quiver.
I try and get my kids to ride em but nup….5’9’s….they are into…pffft…
They won’t even go near a 6’6” in good waves…..deer with no eyes.
Maybe 2 1/4 flat deck but generally I’d be happy with a 6’8, 19, 2 1/2 rolled deck in good waves. I’m 80kgs.
This guy didn’t just get barreled at jaws , his foam ball skills were pretty amazing too .
Phil and PSI back at it with the Channel Bottoms ....Very Nice
How long before JJF joins the real dream tour ? I’m predicting after Hawaii a big announcement will be made .
Wave of a lifetime right there @supa. And probably the Pipe wave of at least the decade.
Love how he somehow sets his rail after the freefall and just avoids getting guillotined. Some courage and skill went into that ride.
Been thinking of it all day since i saw it. Went to the right Koa too.
Erin Brooks was also charging , she pulled into a close out that was nearly double the size of these waves . Deserved the win and will be a favourite in a few locations this season .
