Watch: Caroline Marks // Isolation

A new theory in surfing!

While it's filmed in a few countries, the Tahitian section of this edit stands out. Marks is unflinching on the lefts - mostly Chopes of course - and unrelenting on the rights, where her delayed bottom turn to vertical re-entry is fast becoming a signature move.

Shall we look for analogs? Wilko? Occy?

Am I being ridiculous..?

If Marks were to take a leaf out of John John's book and keep her arms lower she'd have the basis for a formidable mix of power and style.

There's plenty of time for that combination to gel - Marks turned but 18 while in Tahiti filming.

love her tube riding, but her back hand is hard to watch (bit of power but no style)

Those back hand whacks are all time. Agree that arms are a little ungainly on backhand bottom turns, got Snips in her corner - he'll smooth her out. Forehand bottom turn around 2.00 stood out dunno why, just liked it. The best part of this clip is her stoke - no affectation, no posing, nice.

She rips. If Caroline goes the competition route, look out!

Go check out Hedgey when he was young and before he got on tour. Very similar. Not so much the backhand but the forehand is a dead ringer.

He even had the wayward arms on his forehand.

What a legend. I like the arms. Good to see someone with their own style these days.

A few more years and she will be giving half the men’s tour a run for their money out at Chopes. 2nd in the world at 17 in her rookie year, she is going to win multiple titles for sure.

Analog....You mean as opposed to digital? I had to look this up to see if it was a thing...guess what - it is. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Analog

I liked the pooping definition best.

To analogise; I was as surprised as a chook laying a square egg.

What do you reckon the chook said?

Sometimes people just don't get my humour.
I guess I'm not as funny as I think I am.
No bites whatsoever.

Didn't realise she is only 18. Regardless, she is a little more thick set than other girls on the tour, and it shows in her power and has buckets of natural ability. Her style is already as good as many of the girls for mine. Once she develops the power she has in her core the arms will calm down naturally, then....the others will all be playing catch up

She's killing it in those Chopes waves. Where was everyone else?

Impeccable timing on her backhand whacks. Going to be tight at the top of the Women's title race if and when we get back to it. Particularly with Tyler back in the game.

Looks like she's just having a blast, big grin on her head most waves. Wish I could do it 1/2 as well.
