Slow and low. And a wider stance than I currently use. (something for me to work on)

You might enjoy watching Giorgio Gomez and Dave Boehne ripping in slow motion.

Not the first time we've seen it, but thought it was interesting to watch just before hacks, front foot quite high up and stationary, but then hop back foot back a couple times (for quite a wide stance). For instance at 3:45.

Cool vid! I'm sick of seeing crap board mounted gopro footage.

That's cool. Watching them crouch so they can spring into the maneuver with power and speed. Watching the foot movement to really get the foot on the tail. But it reminds me to be less conservative. I look at those re-entries, etc., and think that I would never make them. But I probably would not try them... I guess you have to be willing to try, fail, try, fail, and repeat until you start making them. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I just find it too repetitive and terribly boring, to build speed for a single air move seems a terrible waste of wave face. But whatever floats your boat I suppose.

I'd rather see an air than 10 little squiggles on a wave.

Great, I remember seeing one mr squiggle when I was a hell of lot younger, I wonder if the ten little squiggles are his offspring
