Oxymoron :lol: .

I really have respect for the guy. Not only does he shortboard but people say he charges more than the average guy

I wonder how he stays so big, being a surfer. You reckon he sits out and only catches a set once in a while?

cant really imagine him sitting/sinking out back on his board, would be like throwing a 747 in the grand canyon

That's what I initially thought, but ask the locals at Padang Padang. He's pretty well known.

I'm trying to find more info on the guy. His nickname is Jimbo but that doesn't seem to help. Bali isn't really the most popular surf spot in the world.

EDIT: Found him again:

Uffa at the people claiming photoshop. This guy is a legend.

c'mon, if he's good enough to get barrelled in 10ft waves he would obviously surf ALOT. if u surf alot and live in bali it would be impossible to be THAT fat

im calling shenanigans. photoshop
