Awesome riding. Do you find stabs are easier with surf stance? Also what is your method for re-entries? Do you jump with the ski or let the ski do all the work? Pull the bars at all? I tend to fall into the ski rather than with it. Thanks
Edit: Are you the same Wes that had that awesome short 1 minute clip tearing it up a while ago with some chill music??

Thanks! I do everything in surf stance except for barrel rolls. I love the feeling of surf stance flips, but they are hard to do with a stock sj when the waves are small. And even when there are good sized waves I feel like I have to hit the lip a lot later in order to get the rotation. So I do about 50% of my flips in surf stance.

And for re-entries I let the ski do the work. I just lean forward a bit off the takeoff to help get the nose of the ski down. Tail high re-entries always look better.

The clip in the video is actually a no riding area, but the cops never call in a helicopter so we don't get caught haha. The closest track to HB is 50 miles away in riverside. And the closest open riding is 70 miles away up in the high desert.
