Tow or Paddle, what looked better.....?
No disrespect at all, just a viable question that is getting put out.

Hard to make a fair comparison welly given the different conditions under which they were operating. I think it is fair to say though that the tow riders seemed to be making a higher percentage of their waves. I think that is true of all the recent footage........of course it could just be the sadistic nature of the editing.
