So good hey!!
I have been doing a heap of DW paddles with Marcus who is on the orange board and he is paddling really good and i have him in for top ten or maybe even top 5 at Molokai this year.
Those bumps are about as good as it gets i think and looking at Marcus's times from that run i think he averaged over 16km pr/hr

Darn "averaged" that is fast, I would not even have time to breathe and would end-up with a wooden leg at the end of the run....I was on my Ace-GT at something like 15 km/h on some bumps and it felt like I was on a rocket ship. 17.4 somewhat feels longer when you are at the tail.
Anyone know if they will be bringing out these boards production, or pretty much just have to custom order

Pretty sure you will find Sunova, ONE and Deep will have Production unlimited dugout boards to order from about now.
Have watched this over and over it is the best dw clip on the net. In line with one of rigs epic ones from couple years ago.
Those conditions!
And Marcus board control is something that I wish I had a tenth of with ability.
Puts that board in the perfect lines with that steering ability.
be awesome to see that footage from jimmy on a mounted pole from rear of board facing forward.

Haha. Jacko your to kind. I will be very happy if I even come close to that in m20!
The run in the video was a race down the Molokai coast held the day after m2m last week. It was probably the best run I've done. The whole time we were out in the bumps we were averaging over 16kph! Me and James actually forgot it was a race and were just having so much fun. I was actually just laughing some times at how good it was! Put this run on your bucket list. We are staying on Molokai for Sunday and Monday so hopefully we get it again.
Stoked everyone likes the footage, as good as it is it still doesn't do it justice!! Epic fun.
Dumb question - what is that guy in front doing to make his board swerve from side to side? I know what it would take on a surfboard but I could not see him do anything with his feet. Telekinesis?
So he is zipping along in high winds, big swell, watching the waves, dodging sharks, paddling hard, balancing on a board that is no-doubt way too narrow - and he is adjusting a rudder with his feet?!?
Is this how he checks e-mails?
