Beegus Christ awlright!

Could be the best clip I've watched this year.

Definitely the best this week.

What was that accent?

Did not sound South African.

Way, way too many pump pump air waves for my taste (apart from the epic tubes).

Barely saw the guy do a turn.

Yep, South African. Had bit parts amongst the Globe crew where he featured in Strange Rumblings and stood awkward to the side as Noa Deane uttered "Fuck the WSL". Similarly, with Vissla where he came across as the short-haired square amongst the roster of hip freesurfers. The post-pro Oz crew of Creed, Dion, and Chippa seemed to accept BG as a Trans-Indian mascot, same goes the Former crew of Dane and Ando. Yet from this vantage, he never seemed part of anything.

That aspect, as much as his surfing, impresses me.

↑Well put. I really enjoyed it. I don't mind a little pump pump boost but this balanced out with some raw juice and great tuberiding to boot.

Cool tracks too.

Incredible tubes and smooth airs! Super good. This guy blows doors on most of the WSL pros.

Very well put together video. The conversation with Dane worked really well, I thought, and one turn from Jordy reminded us that all is not airs and barrels.

Fark so many insane tubes. How’s the lamo burning at 7:40. Hope that twit got six feet of fibreglass to the coit
