This is a far cry from paipo boarding the wall at Waikiki: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cu0VnsWNTI.
saw this somewhere else…
i’m not impressed. not that i’m pretending that i have the skill to do anything like that…
it’s just he did something really hard and made it look really hard with NO style.
not as cool as folks are making it seem imo
you, sir, are a tough customer!
It’s skimming,
Not surfing.
There is a reason for fins.
Paddle in and do a top-turn.
Stop calling that surfing!
Whatever you want to call it, it’s bad ass! Guts and talent! Mike
Domke has skills…
Do body-surfers, mat riders and body-boarders surf?
Did the first surfboards or paipos have fins?
I was impressed, but I have to admit, it looks kinda funky with the flailing arms and all, hahaha. The thing that I found amazing is the part where he shifts his weight back to get to the top of the wave, and like 80% of that tiny little board is out of the water, seems like he’s using his tail like a fin at that point.
