Fantastic stuff ,but for me, if I could surf and sup like Guts Griffiths I would be a happy man.

Boardbumps and Kami... and all others keeping the stoke ablaze through all the years...

Technically, anybody when he/she manages to keep flow and power to their turns, using the turns and good positioning to accelerate. A lot of the vids posted by forum members are great for this, Goatman, Dogman, Casso, ... and a whole lot of others, whatever their abilities.

I must say that the first rider who have really impressed me was Kevin Coffman (blue board) in this video:

This video was a kind of a revelation for me.

Contest riders, I don't know. Often they had an impressive style in freesurfing but then progressively their style get "polluted" by the contest judging criteria into just a mechanical speed gathering aimed at just one big acrobatic maneuver, tail slashing and loosing all their speed. The Vaz brothers latest video "the find" is impressive, though.


PS: thanks HumanCartoon!

Definitely Tha Dogman. What a legend. If I could SUP surf half as well as this man I would be happy.

What a frother....

I didn't even think of Mr. Hamilton.

Now I am perplexed on who I would choose.

The Legend or the young Jedi?
