From the WTF Files...


Click on the pic for a larger view. I can't decide whether or not this is calculated, or accidental. If he tried to get in that position and pulled it, my hats off to him. If not, he's YDD. Compliments of reader warmjet!

I'd say cheater 5 to extreme head dip.

Looks carefully calculated and precisely executed. Well done.

Guess he had to make do with what he was dealing with on the wave face...hence, the extreme super-squat/one-leg dangle with a combined cheater-five and mini-head dippy-do!

Absolutely calculated!
He has the almond "barrel" mastered.
saw him get 3 or 4 long dry ones.
took off standing...then to knee...then ass...and layback!
reminded me of D Hynd in Litmus.

don't care if it was on purpose, just wearing a hood at malibu is defiantly donkey

Total B.S. With his hip on the deck like that he never recovered.
The guy watching is wondering why the hell he ever brought that donkey with him...

How can it be cold enough to require a hood, but no booties?

Hood = Donkey. No if, and/or butts about it. This is Southern California for fucks sake!

looked like a good time for a little high line trim to me

Danimal said...

Is a hood the tight pants of headwear?

They're not hoods they're BONNETS!

Simple, he got in to that position from sitting first. easy. Yeh & that ear surgery is pretty hardcore. You'll be out of the water for weeeeeeks! Don't tell Roy at Venice that hoods are lame.

warmjet is correct. i was there that day and saw him get about five perfect small barrels that way without ever getting burned. The guy rips when he's standing as well.
