Surfing Waves

3:47 Hung up in the lip and going down hard. Welcome to the shortboard takeoff.



This heat has some difficult waves to take the plunge on. It's interesting to see how the pros handle them.

Not many outside of the US would know of what a Palooka is or remember Joe Palooka the comic strip.
Put in there lil Abner and other old comic staples, Australia had their own too!
Hmmm the passing of time!

Most likely the reason why a beginner may go over the falls and a pro does are two entirely different things. I think a beginner on that wave wouldn't have been able to get into a position to even go over the falls

They don't make 'em like this anymore.
