Been a while since I've got a thrill from a surf clip. Maybe it's an oversaturation of content, or maybe it's just my torpid state of mind, but then maybe, just maybe, there hasn't been anything entirely original for a while. Nothing that kicks you up the date and says 'yeah!'
'Cos that's what this vid did. Don't know who it is, don't know where it was filmed, but fellas got a new take on an old concept. Enjoy...

Is surfing just another sport? Have we been deluding ourselves?

He must be on some good drugs
Boys got balls, flouncing around like a massive "Dope Lemon" surface Popper!

Is that tomo's new MPH? ;)
What would the WSL judges give him?
Based on their current form, somewhere in the mid to excellent range unless he is a low seed or wildcard.
this video must be trending big time -- quite a few imitators out there this morning.
hahaha classic...the old nuts would have copped a beating there
looks like old mate couldn't be bothered
Recovering from a broken ankle and can't surf. I think this might be a way better option than getting out there on a kids boogie board.
he must have a lot of time on his hands that bloke
I didnt even watch the video but i likes thefirst paragraph. Surf vids (and most clips) are just your standard artsy fartsy culture crap the air reverses over and over with the odd turn/shack. Bring back doped youth.
Huzzah! Now we're talking! And I thought I was weirding it out with my old hand-plane. I like it! I dunno if my fucked shoulders could take the forces generated by such a chunk of plastic though.
Hilarious! If I lose the use of my legs I'm straight into this.
I have reached the stage where quite often my most enjoyable wave is the foamy on the way in!
Recovering from illness here as well, on an alaia at present. This. Is. All. I. Can. Do. For now.
Hahaha, it's gold. Looks like I'd better watch out for farts when I get out the back again!
He surfs like Peter Garrett dances. If someone had said "bodysurfing with a surfboard" I wouldn't have been able to picture what they meant. Now I can. Thanks for the clip.
Grom took a look and wasn't so kind.
"What a waste of a wave."
Get Loose on a Free Finned Foamy! Be Careful? It's Mello! And it's Yellow! Look Out!
It could only be in Byron, I'd like to see him in a hollow wave.
Yeah man that would be entertaining haha. Anyway, I thought attention seeking hipsters were on the way out?
How pissed-off would you be surfing with this dill? If he rode one wave prone it would be acceptable but after that, drop-in city!
I think you're missing the point man!!!! Seeing someone in the lineup just having a blast and being a goose cause it feels great is the spirit of surfing. I'd share his vibe and give him a hoot of he dropped in on me. I don't know the guy but seeing his feel of the wave I reckon he can surf alright....
That was great!

Reminds me of the time I ate some magic mushrooms up at Byron Bay back in the early 90's.
Give him a lamot....
Lumbers loves the ds
ah the influence of Derek Hidsight!!!!
He looks like he's having ball, and the best surfer is always the one out there having the most fun
brilliant
It's very good. I understand he is a keen standing soft top board rider who explored prone options while he had a knee injury.
