3 minutes of peace -- quality here

Here's a vid that's been around, but is a long-term keeper.

A bit of a daydream of a long wave.

Watching this I did get a little frustrated with the occasional lags in the ride itself, the backfootedness. I don't like wave sailing too back footed, period. But that's just me. Yeah, i know, what heresy. He was holding, holding for the right moment to drop in to time the turn. After all, I can't see in front what he sees, so WTF do I know, but give me a shot at a wave like this and I would say "yes, yes, yes."
