circa 1997 = one of the best surf vids ever. The shots from out the back looking in at the landscape are truly awesome, Andy at the beginning and Rochelle Blanchard bookending it at the end. Two world champs and at that point they didn't hold a candle to the crew who raised them. Magnificent beat downs throughout.
That was some good surfboard riding, but as soon as I hear an Aussie go on about gnarly wipeouts my mind goes completely numb.
He says he jumped because he knew there was no way he was making it, something about a flip of the wind, idk.
