Filler


Derek Bockelman for Cole Surfboards and Naki Surf from jeremie brillant on Vimeo.


Not necessarily anything mind-blowing as far as surf vids go (I'm just too old to comprehend the skateboard surfing tricks) but...

I thought I'd post just for sole purpose of mentioning that wave from 1:02 - 1:15 -- how he does that huge stall to set up the barrel. Something I'm working on. Not in reeling overhead barreling waves, mind you, but just in the day-to-day stuff I surf, working more in tune with the wave rather than hightailing it out to the shoulder.

Nice job of avoiding other surfers on that wave as well, I might add. That is something I do have plenty of practice with. Blasted buoys!
