Gutsy! scary beatings!
board length seems short compared to other guys...anyone know?
yeah he does normally ride shorter boards at jaws
Next level surfing. Albee is incredible. (I think he's normally on an 8'2 or 8'4.)
Music was an abomination.
I was just waiting for the first comment on the soundtrack! Not sure if that will go down well with the middle of the auditory bell curve of this Swellnet brethren......
Slipknot are pretty 'middle of the bell curve', you can even understand the lyrics.
Wish I had the drive (and skill) and to take on those waves; awesome to watch and surf vicariously will suffice.
Yeah. Slipknot are almost pop/metal.Although not quite in the pop realm of Linken Park or the Offspring.
haha, totally mattlock - like Korn, bahaha. For all its naughty-little-boy imagery and double-kick, all nu metal may as well be Evanescence. This Slipknot song sounds like I Ran by Flock of Seagulls, played by too-cool 16 year-olds in white-trash working-class burbs (like des moines). I like it! The inspired editing and epic footage makes it work well.
Intense viewing.
IMHO the music suited the clip.
While the tunes are not my preference I totally agree! Violent and intense - like the wave.
Yep, matched well.
The music reminded me of the old Hawaii 9 Series. I still pull those movies out to watch every now and again. Cant beat Metal to Hawaiian Surf clips IMO.
Hawaii 94. All time classic
100% agree Nick. Definitely my favourite also. :)
Can I check that out on line? Sounds right up my alley
You can watch it on Youtube. Hawaii94..
Sickest style. And yeah that song suited the clip perfectly i reckon.
Give the man an invite to the next Eddie - should have been in the last one!
Definitely got some plums!
I haven't bothered to watch any Jaws sessions for a while. Glad to see this one 'cause some of those paddle ins are pretty, bloody, impressive!!
He times the takeoff to perfection, flatter rocker quad, standing early or just before it pitches. Board seems to traverse - but looks jittery on the bumps. Feel dirty saying that about probably my favourite Jaws surfer to watch.
Looks like he's got his equipment nailed for those conditions out there.
The absence of ultra slow motion gave a much better perspective of the intensity of the waves and how critical the surfing was
