Ponce De Leon surf ride on the Q8

[JamesG]

Still trying to perfect the rolls, but I'm getting there. I definitely need to get lower and throw my weight more to the side. This is from last sunday and the waves were kickin.

360s are getting better =D

Big thanks to Tom at SBT for helping me get my ski running even better!

Wait your riding a purpose built hull where it's nots supposed to be... That's blasphemy!!! Jk jk

Nicely done, don't be afraid to go to the taller part of the wave your rolls will be bigger and it will also leave you more hang time to have the ski come around all the way.

Thanks for sharing, looked like a lot of fun!

Good stuff !!! I'd say for the rolls looks more to the left like you are looking underneath the ski....remember where the head goes, the body follows

Looks like you had some decent size waves and a great get away...

Yeah it turned out pretty well. Only got to get one short ride in until my ride buddy (my father) snapped his steering cable. Just glad it didn't happen when we were out in the suck.

Hey james, did you ever put a wet pipe on that Q8?

 

[550/440]

Nice riding! Love my Q8 in the surf... just wish I had a gopro to post up some video with! You flippin' that thing yet?

I haven't had any good chances lately. The surf in this video was definitely worthy, so I should have tried. I have no trim so I'm just gonna have to go big.

 

[550/440]

Yeah, I've done plenty of almost flips, and landed a few. My little 750 can do it w/ no trim, just got to go crazy and hit that wave. I wish I could pull off rolls like yours though, never rode with anyone who knows how, so I've struggled with learning them from watching video. A surf trip is a 6 hr drive to Oceanside now, so I'm craving another trip out. Thanks again for sharing your ride vids!

You just need some decent surf to practice in. If you plan on going to the daytona freeride, I will be there and I can help you with what I know.
