$10k to whoever can kick-flip a surfboard and land it.

Postby MrJoe » Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:47 pm

Seems like Volcom have a got a $10k competition on where the first person able to sucessfully kickflip a surfboard and land it takes the dosh home!

There's a quality video on there of someone who almost lands it :D

Another attempt is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whj5Vkbi39M

I think i managed to do one of them last week down woolacombe; shame i didn't have my camera on me though! :lol:
