Hi breezers , had to twist a few arms and promise strange sexual favors to get the raw footage from the news the other day that you all saw or maybe not,
when you click the youtube let it download in HQ and enjoy
it doesnt start until the 2.40min mark sorry about that i dont know how to shorten it , but its worth it ,
damn that laird is a freak

I don't know what to be more amazed at:
- the frequency of perfect pitching waves and the massive spectator fleet
- Laird's deep barrel
- Laird paddling for his life on the first wave
- All the guys casually sitting on the peak as the lip pitches
- or red boogie board guy ... going over the falls ... twice!
Thanks Tom, my wife saw it on the news but couldn't find the remote quick enough to record it so I only got 'told' about how good it was!
Good to see Laird on a "shorter gun". Not sure if its we only see old footage but he always seems to be riding 12 foot monsters.
Mental footage! Laird's board doesn't look much over 9 or 10ft.
They put a bit of time into the deck spray, look great!
At last the real vid.. http://www.surfline.com/video/featured-clips/teahupoo-super-session-09_27527 .. Wow!!!
Ooops.. just realized a similar one was posted.. Still worth another watch..

Yeah they are a bit wider in the base and slightly taller as well, seem to work pretty well. I thought I read on the standup zone site that some of the crew over in Hawaii were using them. Then I saw them on Casso's Ripper.
I flew in on thursady night surfed Friday, saturday and tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternon was better than saturday, my avatar pic is a fram grab from chopes wednesday morning. if any one has some pics of those days or footage i would like to swap some stuff, pics and vids. i got some cool HI def stuff filmed from the point and from a boat plus a few pics of laird and Raimana don't want to sell just swap.
