Ripping?

Chuck Glynn Ripping from Tom English on Vimeo.

This video was hotly debated over at the Surfermag message board. If Tom thinks Chuck is "ripping" in this video, I would suggest he visit his eye doctor.

gotta remember.... just staying on your feet is "ripping" in sweeper terms!

The "Wealth Management" advert at the beginning says it all.

Only take off on closeouts = Rippin'

Wipe out on the only wave that doesn't close out = Rippin'

Never take a set wave (only paddle out through them) = Rippin'

Get face time on YDD = Rippin'

Considering the guy is surfing on the equivalent of a aircraft carrier, I guess that is about as ripping as you can get. At least he doesn't fall off on each wave he catches like some of the sweepers I see of the local SD coast seem to do.

Pretty sure Chuck is surfing cardiff reef. Don't mistake Chuck for a sweeper, he has been top 5 WSA in the past few years.

"Don't mistake Chuck for a sweeper"

So, that paddle and kook barge is all cgi effects, and he's not really riding an SUP?

You know the old saying...If it walks like a duck, paddles like a duck, and surfs like a duck, it MUST be a janitor.
