    exactly...this is why he is one of my favorites as well. He is doing stuff that blows minds not the same air reverse the whole tour is doing. Who cares if he does not compete. Free surfing is where it's at. Another one is Mikala Jones...guy is living the dream.

    Clay rips, but I don't think he's better than Dane... Without lay back/throw tail aka Clayback what is he doing that's so different?

    Good question...it seems any time I see a clip of him, it just looks different from "mainstream" rippers. I don't know if he has a deep list of unique maneuvers just a unique style that I dig.

    Agree with you about Dane...although "better" is a tough yardstick between those two. Dane does some sick stuff fo sho!

    They are both very progressive and stylish.

    How can you say better?

    Please explain.

    I agree u with mr giant cheeseburger man.who is better?who da phuk cares?

    my opinion is marzo is a better surfer than just about everyone including jjf.its really hard to decipher.put marzo and jjf in a heat at 8ft gland is the answer.regardless they are both supreme surfers.

    as far as
    snaps/carves - goes to marzo
    deepest in the barrel-marzo
    absolute charging-jjf
    airs-jjf
    pipe-jjf
    u know marzo is a no good lazy pot smoker?i did not know that til recently after reading a rolling stones article.doesn't change my opinion he is still a fat chubby chasing freakaholic

    Crappy edit.
    No flow. Couple ugly looking lay backs. Difficult, yes. Pretty, no.
    Marzo is over-rated thanks to that Quicksilver Video of him and his aspergers.

    On a side note:
    Just watched on Heat Analyzer, Kelly's 8.5 from yesterday. Unreal!
    Speed, Power, Flow, Unique Lines, Style, etc.
    Not comparing him to Marzo, that wouldn't be fair.

    that was one of his weaker edits.go on youtube and look up clay marzo the new Yorker.just makes u feel shutty seeing a foreigner come and rip the waves better than the local pros.him in Puerto Escondido is another good edit,him pulling into 10 ft closeouts and making it out with the stones satisfaction in Spanish lol.

    some of his clayback hacks as I like to call them are damn near impossible.hes basically laying down on the wave on his back while his feet somehow stay glued to the board.
