Eight minutes of Ando - video
On the launch of Former, the much-plugged label started by Dane Reynolds, Craig Anderson, Austyn Gilette, and Campbell Milligan, the lads have released eight minutes of unseen footage of Ando. It's good stuff, worth your while, but you ain't gonna get it for free. No, the fellas understand clicks are currency so there'll be no embedding of this nugget, you've got pay them a visit.

Checked out the cool threads man. Who the fuck tucks in a T-shirt into dress pants apart from my weird old uncle. creepy
I love watching CA surfing, he has buckets of style. How's the control on that slab at around the 6:30 mark!? Subtle-as-fuck adjustments as he navigates the step and backdoors a very mean looking wave.
But $90 for a pair of boardies. Nup. And yeah, savanova, what's with the tucked-in t-shirt? Like a meth-head going to court.
Meth head going to court !!!!
Best line ever.
The surfing ?
A cross between the airs of Mike Loseness and the tube riding of a gender confused Kerby Brown.
Not a fan personally. Amazing surfer , just not to my taste.
That's ok. Ando probs ain't a fan of my bog rail cutties either.
Quite liked the edit and music but it seems to me that he used to be a surfer with a unique cool style...now he's got this style and also surfs...
Enjoyed that. He's turning into quite an accomplished heavy water surfer.
That was good.
He's a lot less "posey" in serious waves, fuck he's a good tube rider.
Agreed Goof, seems to be more pure and less contrived in that heavy water.
The waves where he doesn't pull a knock-kneed bottom turn that makes every one cream over it been the most stylish thing ever are quite good.
You ever see an Ando impersonater go at it ?
Hilarious.
I watched one fella do nothing but attempt to glub down the line with that back knee artificially and uncomfortably droppped looking like an overly hobbled , bipedal horse for an entire session once.
All I could do was sit on my black beauty CHannel Islands in my OP boardshorts between attempted look back re entry's and wonder as to what drives some people to try to emulate their heroes so relentlessly regardless of its impact on their dignity.
Ha!
:)
There was a guy in the Lennox to Byron stretch that I kept seeing every where last year who did exactly that, Blowin.
Ummm, that might have been me Lostdoggy.
But fuck that.
I'm done ruining surfs with that bent knee in the pursuit of reflected Ando - glory.
It took a while, but I've grown out of it.
Now I'm all about front deck grip , durries , blonde fringe in my eyes and fly away airs with middle fingers raised to the surfing establishment.
Fuck the WSL !
Wasn't you blowin, this guy had a hypto and all.
I'll stick to imitating Roy Stuart.
You've trumped me you bastard !
Is anyone wearing that shit anywhere ? And WTF is with the patches....buy their logos and pin them on with a special pin.....surely they are just taking the piss.
Make's Kelly's gab look half decent and wearable.
