Absolutely shredding, what an opener, that 360 air!!!
To be fair they did show some shots of him actually standing and paddling so we know he's not some morphed prone paddling supper ( can we believe the shots though?)
Gotta watch those sneaky Brazos they will have taken over soon enough
Doh!! Not another Brazo world champion. Ive only ever seen 1 reverse 360 air by Kye Lenny which was pretty hard work. He needed to paddle his way around. This kid just about does full rotations at will....sick!
There aint no denying he can surf, but what is the paddle for?
Paddling out, self defence implement and an aid in manoeuvres. Nice surfing
This kid has to be in the top 10 in the world on his debut video.
Maybe Kai and the maui kids have been spending too much time playing on hydro foils, an aspect of SUP I liked at first yet know look as a distraction.
Time will tell, just like this Video.
Epic !!!!

Watch the video again and look at how much he is using the paddle for stability, pivoting, slingshot turns etc.
Plus more volume than a short board would allow him to get into position on wave better than a short board, not that he probably needs it iwth waves like that~!
obviously he has had a bit of time on the short board before the 1 year of SUP...
Froth on young man.
in my opinion......he should give the fat guy his short board back ditch the paddle and go do flippy, flappy jumpy turns on the WSL. This is an OLD MAN's(and Ladies) sport just for OLD MEN(and Ladies) and we dont need young up-starts comin round doin their fancy flippy flappy jumpy turns makin us OLD MEN (and Ladies)look really sh%t........ we can do that ourselves!!!!! ....just jokes...he cuts sick!!

The paddle inertia is for enhancing the eyed shoulder rotating torque which is able to do on that kind of shortSUP. I wonder board max width around 24" but this kid must weight so few kilos too
If some people understand what I say, please make needed correction in a right sentence for me
what Kami is trying to say is.......in my opinion......he should give the fat guy his short board back ditch the paddle and go do flippy, flappy jumpy turns on the WSL.

couldnt help myself!!
If you can carry your board under your arm, it's not a SUP!
LOL
And, if you strap your paddle to your back and go out on your short board, then grab the paddle as you take the drop it will then aid in balance and pivoting and in turns and 360 airs and they will cry " go John John, that's awesome supping, now that's progressing the sport"
And of course I am jealous that these guys have more talent in their little finger than I have in all of me on a good day. So right now I am happy to stick to my 9.1 Allwave to sup and take out the short board (without paddle) to surf.

What if you have really long arms
He is annoyingly amazing
the only way the rest of us will get that good is if they bring out really good surf moments virtual reality stuff that we can just plug in to

Yes mybrosweeper, I got you, thanks for translating my technical essay in an idiomatic sentence.
Then SUP surfing must be an geriatric option when strolling out the old people home at the beach by sunny arvo
A few years ago now I paddled out at the break I GREW UP AT (Avoca beach), I was visiting my parents. Called a few old mates the night before and we went for a surf 40 years after kicking around together as groms. We were on a bank to ourselves which wasn't real good, but having a blast.
Young bloke paddles over and looks around at all of us -- STARTS LAUGHING - quote "what the f...k , did they leave the gate open at the old peoples home this morning" Do you reckon he got a wave? eventually begged forgiveness and we let him get a couple - and he knew a couple of the gang.
We were all on boards at the time - varying lengths though - different abilities - didn't matter - all old mates. Very enjoyable.
