    For those that are fans of ...Lost and Chris Ward (and for those that aren't) there was an interesting series of vids posted on Vimeo 3 weeks ago. Here are a couple:

    "your chic is also his chic"......classic. The vids are sick. Wardo still has it. A worthy post for a change, and no replies? What, no condescending tough talk or utter stupidity so no replies? Those of you who thought this summer on EC was good, should watch these vids to discover what good surfing on good waves actually looks like.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm really surprised at the lack of comments on this post. I guess Wardo dropping in on the Wolf Pack at Pipeline and getting slapped around on the beach is less interesting than Kelly Slater talking about sunscreen.

    Someone who maximized their potential is far more interesting than someone who squandered it.

    Chris ward just won Padang Padang. That sounds more like maximizing potential rather than squandering it. The dude STILL totally charges and would easily humble any one of you if you were sitting in the channel watching him get a good one. I know Wardo isn’t perfect in life and neither am I, so that’s something we have in common. I’m not a big fan of hating on people that aren’t perfect, because life is a mother f*cker and we don’t get to pick the cards we’re dealt. I give Wardo full props for STILL surfing proper. Who gives a f*ck if he’s not doing the tour. Getting good waves/rides has nothing to do with being on or getting on tour. It’s about getting stoked. It sounds like you two are saying; if you rip, you have to compete in contests all your life to prevent the squandering of your existence. I must be misinterpreting your statement cuz that sh*t don’t sound right.
    Besides, Wardo is a total character. How could you not be amused by any Wardo stories?
    On a side note; Slater is an awesome representative for our sport without a doubt.

    I disagree. Do you think Jim Morrison is less interesting than Mariah Carey because he squandered his potential drinking himself to death?

    Wardo is probably the best barrel rider there is. Also a sick slab surfer. Pretty much paved they road for aerial surfing. I'd rather watch video of him surf than Slater any day of the week. Style wise best there is. He makes Slater seem like a robot personality wise
    Hes trying to get on the tour again too. Should be interesting
