I know that there's not a lot of surfers in the thread but i think you can all enjoy watchin it.

tell me what u guys think.

 

Those are really cool. They have been out for a number of years now and they are the future of big wave riding. The only bad part is that they have been messing up some photographers who usually duck under surfers to get the best shot. My dad surfs Mavericks and he really wants to try one. They look friggen tough to ride though.

 

Was thinking the same thing "yeah right, float above the water." But WOW, that's freaking incredible how that works. Looks like an experience like nothing else.

 

yeah I was pretty impressed myself.

I usually surf in the summer when i can't ride because of weather
but i don't know if it would be worth the try here in the north, because the waves arent that big.

 

I had seen something about this the other day. Some guy jumped an on coming boat ( 30 foot +) using another boats wake,spinning out a 360 in the air and than hitting the landing. Oh ya and setting some kind of world record at 24’ high. I wonder how hard they are to control. They always make it look easy!

 

its not new, llike the guy said he took one of those with a seat on them and then just took the seat off.
