Watch: Torren Martyn is a shuffle pig

Stu Nettle (stunet)

Sacrilege? Foolish? A part of me thinks choosing a 5'4" twinny at 6 foot Deserts is akin to driving a '74 Volkswagen Beetle at Le Mans.

More better you pull something from the quiver a bit more suited to the surrounds. Then again, it'd be a monochrome world if everyone rode the same equipmemt in the same style. And Torren Martyn shirks those kinda expectations sticking to the equipment he knows - Simon Jones-shaped twins - in the hot shoe shuffle-style that's served him so well. Practicality be damned, tell me those heel shuffles and cheater five barrel rides aren't way cool.

Yeah, you know it.

No denying it, dude's got style.

Yeah heaps of style and great backhand tube rider...

Really wish they would pull back and show more of the wave though.

Me too, Indo. Same when I watch M.O.T.E - just give me a pulled back line up shot, pleeeease!

But yeah, good style, good surfing, beautiful wave.

I want the dictionary version of a Shuffle Pig.

Ok, a Shuffle Pig, is something less then a thruster. Lacking the drive, it shuffles, sometimes has unexplained drive.

Thankyou Shane.

It might be something the Indonesians eat.
