That bloke had a different style ah?, Couldn't figure out if it was the board, the wave or just him. Seems like he must ride a log or single with with the way he turns that short board. Not a bad clip but, waves look sick

I think it's because he's simply surfing the wave and not trying to manufacture moves.
Like he just cruises and hits it as needed, no stress, no sponsorship, no jersey.

Soothing.

thats what I thought.

And I found all the voguing poses between moves a bit too affected.
