This is why nobody will ever care about longboard contests. Because stuff like this scores points and wins contests:
Not a contest photo, (unless being a total fucktard is a competitive event for you) but this is my MOST hated longboard move out there. I call it the 'Fuck It I'm a Foot From The Nose So I'm Close Enough Lean Back Soul Bro Arch'. This move normally proceeds the 'Fuck My Arms Are Getting Tired Oh I Know I'll Fold Them Behind My Back Now I Look Like Phil Edwards Arch'. Here it is, in all it's 3 fin glory:
(Bonus- Go to Rincon on a 2' SW swell to see this performed live with hoods and booties. )
what's wrong with shot #1? I do the Field Goal all the time!
I knew I was going to make someone mad. But, come on, you seem like a real cool guy and I like your blog. I don't want to have images of you doing this....
BTW, Nigel has a killer shot of me doing it in 1' beach break slop...I look a sinking mermaid... What can u do?
Wait! Is that a black guy in the top image? Everyone knows black people don't surf. Hell, they don't even swim.
And what is the point of busting air on a longboard? Frankly, I've never seen the point on a shortboard (since it's not a skateboard).
OMG, you're right!
Hey, wait a minute..... I've seen the pics, you can surf pretty well...
one of these day i'm gonna come up north borrow your log and boost the shit out of it (huntington Hi-pro Style)
Anytime.... and for the record, I have, at one time or another, performed everyone of these moves.
