The “Surfing is Life” video about this guy is cooler- shows him doing this thing with a strap-equiped alaia and surfing much better, also riding a variety of surf craft (even a boogie) really well, and group surfing with his family- it’s kind of charming. Struck me as someone just really having a lot of joyful fun with this surfing thing.
By the way, I wonder if anyone else does this? I turn the sound off in 90% of the surfing videos that have music.
