Watch: Jonathon Gubbins // Well Barrelled Human

You remember Jono, yeah? Peruvian bloke, fan of the forward-weighted tube stance, bad aversion to tail pads - not that he doesn't like them, just doesn't stand on them.

In this five minute clip, Jon demonstrates the successful application of the technique, board largely running straight but the speed management comes from weighting and unweighting the rocker line.

Someone buy him a HB single fin with double fliers and watch as he explodes into joy - "Sea of Jooooyyyyyy...."

So composed in that position he just sat there didn't make a show just let the wave do the talking around him I ended being entranced

He makes it look like everybody else is doing it wrong.
Wild style.

No back foot wear on his tail pads, and yes he's keeping in the shade as much as possible.

Last wave at pipe (or OTW) was a perfect final touch
