hes got his trip ready to shippies, and i can guarantee he can charge bigger waves than everyone on this forum bar just a couple.
the kid surfs supers on 9ft swells....i mean shit thats what i would call a solid wave charger..


here comes the argument again.....

anywho, you dont have to be good to charge big waves, just have to have no common sense pretty much.

wasn't referring to you, but some may say bigger wave riding is easy when they have never surfed anything that you could class as big wave...biggest wave ive surfed was either superbank at new years or reef one fine sunny day

not sure.im blurting out random shit im soooo bored.

had a fun surf this morning though found a pretty good bank at kingy. you would ride whitewash for abit then it would get real hollow on this bank and you could fit into these small barrels or just hit the little ramp...nearly broke my neck trying to do a backflip....
+ my board is starting to get real cardboard like.... :|
