Hey Dogman, I've said it before and I know there are some great young guys around, but for sheer consistency and just plain just choosing the right manouver in the appropriate place you are in my mind the best SUP surfer in Australia.
Like Wayne Lynch and now Kelly Slater in the field of short boarding, you do the appropriate thing for the section of the wave in my opinion. You don't have to do Skateboard tricks on boards to accrue points, you surf the wave as it should be surfed on a SUP.
I notice that you can do the same in big or small waves and every video I've ever seen of you in competitions you were clearly the best surfer in my opinion( and I notice many other's agree with me).
Unfortunately surfing competitions don't accurately reflect the abilities of a true waterman, they reward acrobats that can perform party tricks. Keep the Vids coming as an inspiration to all the old farts like myself that love watching a
great surfer doing his stuff and for Christ's sake one of you big company's sponsor him on the international tour.
You'll get triple your money back on the Surftech versions of his boards. The sport is in its infancy and now is the time to take it to the next level where you create role models. The Dogman and the lifestyle he leads, musical ability and most importantly watercraft prowess make him a natural leader in the evolution of the sport. Wake up sponsors!!!!!
VIVA LA PIE AND VB
PS. I'm pretty sure this isn't man love but always carry soap on a rope when your around me.
