G'day Dave, Great Video.
I met Robby Naish a few times when I worked on Namotu island Fiji as a Surfing/Lifeguard/Boatman, Cloudbreak is such a Fun Wave to surf, I can see why Kelly Slater keeps going back to Fiji. How epic is Robby Naish's F-650 Truck check out the fuel tanks "hahaha, GOLD" I remember seeing that F-650 at the finish line of the 2016 Molokai2Oahu Paddleboard Race - I heard on Maui this year that Robby Naish SOLD the Naish Company. I ran into Robby Nash's righthand man while I was on Maui this year we would always get into some deep conversations, Miki Schwartz sorry can't spell Miki's last name he's a weapon of a Waterman.

I guess we all have our Hero's Dave, Like if you are a Surfer every Surfer should have a Mark Richards Twin-Fin in there quiver those boards are BULK FUN to ride and like Sam Egan one of the Best Surfboard Shapers on the Planet (Sam Egan turns 82yo in 2 weeks Sam Egan will die in the shaping bay) Sam Egan has looked after me for well over 45 years already I have like 20 Sam Egan lying around the house and look at Mark Raaphorst SIC unlimited SUP Boards the fastest on the Planet the SIC unlimited board has had more podium finishes that any other unlimited SUP. Which brings me to Dave Kalama the man behind the Barracuda Downwind foilboard - as the SAYING GOES copy CUDA, everyone should have a Barracuda in there Downwind quiver; I have one - the V2 Barracuda is not for a beginner KOOK thought; they are very tippy and unstable BUT for the elite Downwind foiler the Barracuda is the Formula One in Downwind Design.

Very nice video - a bit surprised there wasn't even a mention of that other waterman Robby nursed to stardom.....
