Nope.
I think you misunderstood what I said as "elitist surf attitude".
Far from that.

I said what I said because there is only a small handful of riders that can pull it off, and it's a pretty safe bet you're not one of them.
This isn't supposed to be an a dig at you - it's very simple, there's thousands of riders, only a small handful can do it, so what are the chances you're one of them?
I'll go a bit further and not single you out: 99.5% of riders on this board can't do it. I can't get in a barrel in ANY wave, I don't know how to surf ride.

There are a hand full of riders.......period........if hundreds more were in the sport...then dozens of those hundreds could be tubing 20's here and there...I would be one of the dozens.

what was the old jetski movie that had 550's riding big wave in hawaii? I don't remember how big or if they got close to the barrels but I remember being impressed.

You've never ridden in conditions even close to that (or even in that same ocean, for that matter), yet you're confident in your abilities to ride them?

Well I can tell you I would have no problem getting further back in that wave you were in. I mean that. I don't see the big deal. And please...someone not post "you don't know the dangers!" It has been posted and I understand them.

I meant i don't see the big deal from my riding abilities point of view. I feel I could ride it and better than you as far as that one pic in concerned and according to your own statement.

ok, now youre just being silly....


have you seen the surf riding pix that have been posted from wydopen?

he is the one person I have seen that can consistently put his ski 100% vert in the face of the wave


his pix are the ones that I drool over


in truth, his slashes are better than TC's.........but noone does a re-entry like taylor..that is perfect form



come on man....I know you are probably starting to feel a little browbeaten, but we gotta be realistic

How about the ride it the same as you? It is a wave and a jetski dude. Do you think that is a special pick?

So....would you be open to coming out and proving Andrew wrong?
I'll pitch in some dough for a plane ticket or your fuel bill if you're driving (if you're wanting to use your ski)
