Everyone who surfs has their own take on riding waves. Opinions...assholes. You know how it goes. I like what Allan Weisbecker had to say about the subject in In Search of Captain Zero:

"Unlike skiiing or any other earthly endeavor, wave riding is a creative interface with an active, in some sense living force of nature. Given this, is not an aesthetically valid relationship with the medium the obvious goal of the act of riding a wave? In other words, the wave's the thing. The surfer must follow its lead, respect its diversiform flow."

I've always liked a more flowing, smooth style as opposed to some of the more aggressive aerial stuff that you see a lot of "rippahs" displaying. The guy in this video? Good style.

I emailed Mani Caro to inquire about the "stubbies" that he shapes and really am jonesing one. It's going to have to come after the quad fish that I'd like, though. Priorities.
