Mitch Kenyon // The Bommie - video

"Theirs is not to question why, theirs is but to do and die."

As others gorge on airbrushed perfection, Mitch Kenyon tows into a barely ridable brute of a wave on the NSW South Coast.

Don't ask why, just enjoy the entertainment.

The still pic in the other thread of this wave looks amazing.

Death wish. Good effort tho.....

Do you reckon he'd have made it if he'd taken the high line over the boil?

haha roofy, that there is the difference between mindsurfing and really surfing. I tips me hat to anyone with Kahonas big enough to contemplate either

Don't worry mate, I'm not pretending I'd do any better. On a day like that I believe you'd find me on dry land quietly nursing my average-sized nuts. Huge respect to the guy for even going.

Still... just saying....

That was successful, $850 down the gurgler for a beefy, sketchy lump. Big knackers but I have to ask why? Cause it was there?

I honestly lost my breath just watching that, ever split second the wave changed and looked like it was going to go evil in so many different ways, it was like yes, no yes..

Screw that shit maybe I'm boring but I'm happy with head high to double overhead predictable waves, be it barrels or just fun walls.

Second time viewed didn't actually look half as bad actually..funny that.

I see this bombie from my house. Let me tell you, this is balls of steel. It's unmakeable at best and so close to rocks. Insanity.

Looks to me to be a waste of time, short and full of nothing but pain in the end, gutsy all the same, he would have not known what the wave would have looked like by the time he was at the bottom, these guys want to feel like what its like to drown, I don't get it........Giddyup !!
