What pro's do you look up to?

Postby BoarderDave » Mon Feb 11, 2008 4:31 pm

Are there any that you love to watch for their style, their abilities, their lifestyle, etc? :?:

Just curious who everyone is looking up to for their inspiration. :D

Yeah, definitely a good display of surfing in First Chapter.

I personally love the style of Rob Machado. Love that he is all about having fun with it. It's really a passion for him and it shows in how much he just cruises with it. He's smooth with it all..

And he is a goofy footer too, like me. :D

Google Rick Kane. He's back. If Rick could do it, Faf can too.

Occy, not just for his surfing, but for his rep too, a good example to kids of how hard work can achieve success.

Slate's as well, for the obvious.

i like surfing agressively, going up vertically, making hard turns, tryng to splash hard, round houses riht at the curl, etc. definitely look up to slater and taj burrows. i'm hoping i can land airs soon.
