Have a close look...

The positive;
Here's a very powerful hack by Pancho Sullivan in Mexico, in 2006. I was one of several lucky ones to see the final day of surfing at the 2005 Vans Triple Crown Hali'ewa Event (from the beach), and watch a brilliant display from Pancho. Jarrad Howse surfed really well on the day, and some of Mick Fanning's power carves and air drop floaters were totally unbelievable in the final... Mick broke a board, and that probably cost him the win to be honest... But you couldn't deny Pancho either. My vote goes with some good old school power carves every day... Pancho. The swell built most of the day, and it was triple over-head on the best sets for a chunk of the day.

The negative;
With some trepidation I suggest that this photo sums up why SUP surfing will always be a poor cousin to "short-board" surfing... You just can't do it this tight, or throw water like this...
Positive - Kyron goes hard though!
Another positive - awesome photo hey!!?
