Yan Daberkow // Desert Point - video

Can't say I've ever heard of Yan Daberkow before. The WSL website tells me he was placed 305th on the QS in 2014 which is the cue to start looking at a freesurfing career. Ol' Yan may not have much of a contest act but fella knows how to fade and race, when to stab the pedal and when to throw some body jive, as evidenced by this slick li'l DP clip.

If a video is to be judged on how much it makes you want to go surfing , then that's the best one I've seen in ages.

Can just feel the draw of water up the face and the down the line speed.

Very nice.

Yep, been watching that one a few times today. He has good style, ay. So casual, and so good in the barrel. One of the best videos I've seen in a while.

Edit: What breaks like Deserts, but is a righthander? (Uncrowded, warm water, good food, of course).
