There was a photo in my local fishwrapper here in California this morning of Rico de Souza riding just such a board on a small day I believe in Brazil…riding something like that might be fun but getting it to the beach or carrying the bugger sounds hellish…
show me him duck diving it and I’d be REALLY impressed

I betcha he went really, really fast. I’ve heard boards that big are so fast you can hardly get them on camera.
Hey Chip that guy and his board were on ‘Sunrise’ again this morning (Channel 7)
cheers for that !
… did you manage to video it , by any chance ?
[now we just need to see it in action at your island’s ‘shipsterns’ break eh ? bwahaha]
