    Still in awe after watching this. We've brought up this dude Brad Domke in many threads before and this again just proves how completely insane/skilled/talented he is. I think metard posted a screen shot of him on one of these bombs and I honestly thought it was a photo-shop of a east coast barrel with a skim boarder scaled down riding it. Well I was wrong. I'm sure some of you have seen this, but here for your viewing pleasure:

    Disclaimer- watching this video might make your testicles recede back into your abdomen (or for the ladies on the forum it might cause your ovaries to ovulate due to the the sheer awesomeness)

    Amazing how he holds on at the bottom when it looks like he's about to slide out.

    also amazing is that he checks his speed to get in the shack.He is on the edge of absolute oblivion for the whole ride.

    The bottom turn / stall he did blows my mind. I too thought it was a photoshop image - the still photo has his board at a weird angle, probably mid stall after the bottom turn. Wow!

    tard, I'm gonna say that surfing a lunch tray down an avalanching liquid mountain is style in and of itself. No rail, no tail, no rudder. Dude does a shove-it with a surfboard so we know the bro has steeze. As far as I'm concerned, this dudes neuticles are insanely large.

    I'll also trow it out there that style can be achieved in the absence of situationally-limited finesse. Charging 30ft on a skim and wanting him to smack the lip too? That's pure greed bro.

    Latina wahinas were quoted exclaiming "¡ Mira a los neuticles mas grandes de Domke! "

    He had more style riding his skim board on that massive wave then most people have on a 2ft. day riding any traditional surfboard of choice. Sure, he got towed in, which made that ride possible, but once you let go, you gotta make it... and make it he did!
