Some Australian Surf Action - Zane Taylor

[Zane]

Hey Guys, i don't think I've ever posted on the X. Im an 18 year old freerider from Australia. Been seeing some pretty cool pictures and videos come up in this thread from the US, so i though i would share some GoPro footage from a few weeks ago off the Sunshine Coast, Australia I captured off the front of my ski.

If your curious, I'm riding a Rickter FR2 EVO1 with a stock 701/standard electrics w/ b-pipe

Enjoy!

Awesome riding. Keep the videos coming!

 

[Zane]

Thanks heaps guys

Australia does get some pretty awesome swell sometimes. Although I've seen you guys get some pretty gnarly surf also

 

[Zane]

It is one of your ported 1mm over barrels Blue. Best bang for your buck around

I thought it was. Great riding Zane. Very impressed with your skill level at age 18. Keep it up. You could go pro.....

Diggin the vibe of the video. Watched the first 6 seconds like 10 times in a row

*edit* reminds me of this moment. Every time I see it, I immediately amazon prime buy something sports-related in an adrenaline fueled high.

(skip to 2:45 specifically)

Sick riding Zane, seen your stuff on instagram and FB. Proves you don't need a nig motor to throw out big tricks in the surf. I've got the same ski with a ported 701 61X motor and get pretty big if i hit the right waves.
Just curious, do you run tubbies on your ski?

 

[thrillhill]

NICE! watched 10 times too , Great lesson, slow motion next time

 

[Zane]

hey Jet Jase, cheers mate, no I do not run tubbies. Although, i do run Death Fins. (made by myself). these bad boys make the evo the best hull imo, and provide much easier landings.

 

[Jet_jase]

Nice, never seen those on a Rickter, some guys have them on footrockets here to help with carving.
Do they help correct the hull easily?

for me personally, it does help with carving, but i predominantly use them for when i land, the ski has obviously more volume under the fins now enabling me to ride away from more tricks because who doesn't want to ride out of tricks, right?

 

[Jet_jase]

F**king right mate, I've never ridden out of a flip yet but rolls I'm ok.

Are those the same as what's on Mick Anthony's ski?

Pretty much yeh. Perspex cut and bolted to the hull, helps the ski carve.
