Watch: John, Jack, and Gabs // Air Wind

First up, if you hate airs, stop now. The world cares nought for your opinion, especially when the headline matches the content: This video is all about airs.

Secondly, same goes if you hate slo-mo. The whole clip runs at valium pace, and for a reason. See the intro for an explanation.

The vid was shot over two sessions last weekend as kona winds strafed the Hawaiian chain. In a case of when life gives you lemons, John, Jack, and Gabs switched from barrels to punts, lofting high as their boards caught wind like a spinnaker, sometimes grabbing with a hand, but often as not relying on feet with fine motor control to direct the board up, around, and down again.

Sometimes I wonder if John has ever had a argument with his missus cause he’s lives the perfect life.

That was actually cool. Glad the slowmo was only the manoeuvre and not the whole wave.

funny....JJF and a PERFECT air followed by all others coming unstuck. Either he's got a man crush on him or JJF just doesnt fall off.... I wonder which it is?
(not that there is anything wrong with a man crush)

Super cool....they boost off sections that mere mortals would barely be thinking about a reo on. SO enviably clever. Now.... off to test my aging knees at my cross shore local!! See you in hospital....
