The joy of a 12' footer. Would be nice to find some clips of Tom Wegener's (Massive) 'Bid Boards' he made some 10yrs ago. 12'-18'. I rode the 16' and it was sheer bliss, carrying it was something else.

beautiful style - loved the kick out straight to kneeling at 1:50 :)) Is there anything this guy cannot do ??

Bloody lovely to watch. Functional & stylish for those waves. Looked like he was having fun too.

I'm not really big on longboard vids but I really dug this. Cool, easygoing style set to a nice track. Lovely.

What else are you going to do on those fat swells? Still can't get my head around a malinfestation. Just seems so retrograde and like getting carried off to the old age home because you can't cut it any more on a real board. This guy doesn't have the baggage and is young so is days aren't as numbered as mine so good luck to him.
