a buddy of mine got me lookin at this guy more

This guy has some amazing board control on the water. makes surfing around look insanely fun. all sorts of hopping, slayshing, spinning, sliding, and more sliding. goes to show how much fun you can have without getting tons of air (not that he doesn't get air). soo agile,... didn't realize he was 40 (or more) till i looked at his profile. remarkable

Japanese Style is great. They ride in salty rough water behind small wakes most of the time. Those guys throw some ridiculous raley variations. Zucky is one of my favorite riders. You need to look-up his skateboarding too.

If you want a cool vid. check out Ensamble.

Very nice. I counted 16 times I would have caught my edge if that were me.

Love this guy's style. Its very unique, controlled, and you know he's not thinking about anything but having fun.

Insideout backside 3 was really impressive and I like how halfway through the video I was thinking... I wonder if he can do any w2w moves. And then w2w bs 180 and w2w ts fs 3 come out of nowhere. Keep shredding man :-)

That is the equivalent of flat ground skateboarding. Very distinct style, requires a high amount of creativity and board control. Isn't there a skateboarder named Rodney Mullins that was so inventive with flat ground? Nice find guys.

Part feline part human. Wow! Thanks for posting.

Have you seen Zucky's flat-land skateboarding??!! It is crazy too. Kick-flips on his hands and all kinds of crazy stuff.

Stephen Higgins, yes. Rodney Mullen invented about 40 skateboard tricks. Did more for the progression of skateboarding than anyone. My favorite skater of all time...so far above everyone else its not even fair.

This guy is sick, every video I watch I like more and more. He is really over 40? I hope my knees can still take those kinds of landings when im 40. I love how he makes surface/ollie tricks a new avenue of wake riding that is stylish and fresh. Dont see that much

I was amazed when I first saw his videos a couple weeks ago. I am thrilled to see him getting the attention on here.

If you watch his skate videos, you can see where his creativity has it roots. It is really cool how he can transition the skating into wakeboarding. He has obviously been riding around on one set of trucks for years to get that kind of balance and control.

Enter the Indoboard, for me...fun fun fun.

Anything that I can watch at work (not on youtube)??

(lfadam) · (lfadam) **Join Date: Nov 2008** 12-23-2009, 10:41 AM

Are you talking about the jump he does before the spin or while he is unwrapping when he jumps? Im not seeing it. I didnt think a nollie was possible wakeboarding.

(wakerider111) · (wakerider111) **Join Date: Jul 2006** 12-23-2009, 11:32 AM

Thanks Adrien for shedding more light on him than the little i saw before, (mostly just a few pictures is what i knew before)

and thanks everyone else for adding even more illumination with the other links

(joshbuzz) · (joshbuzz) **Join Date: Sep 2007** 12-23-2009, 2:24 PM

yeah, he hops off his nose to unwind. I didn't think a nollie was really possible on a wakeboard either, but he's definitely not jumping off his tail...

(joshbuzz) · (joshbuzz) **Join Date: Sep 2007** 12-23-2009, 2:29 PM

I guess it's more like a nose pivot, which I still thought was impossible. he hops from tail to nose and then pivots a 3... whattttt

I had the honor to meet Zucky @ the old DU offices in Truckee when I worked there. Super cool guy except he couldn't speak a lick of English back then. Anyway, thanks for the links... Time warp.
