Such a champ.

That drop amazes me every time I watch it. I think it will be mythologised over time like Carroll's Pipe snap, Fletcher's Chopes barrel, Laird's millennium wave...Dorian's Jaws drop...

Curren's first wave at J-Bay...

Or even his heritage heat 10 against Occy...

I ticked off a bucket list item & surfed Sunset for the first time last year but a bigger thrill was Dorian calling me into a wave he was out of position for. At 58 I thought I was over the grom stuff but I had a grin on my face for days after that. He's a champion.

Yeah that's unreal. Seems like such a top bloke.

Markr that's cool man, I reckon most would be pretty stoked on that.

.... The drop at about 3.00 - simply classic and then followed by a wave that even he clapped...simply classic.

He is the man! You won't even find someone to argue the point.

Such a good smaller wave surfer too.
