So check this out we were out this weekend wearin it out, (Im filming, Jeffs riding) when Jeff goes for a big spin off a Double up.. Everything was fine until the landing, lets just say this is probably the worst scare Ive had on the water.. The good Lord was watching out over us, I dont know how he walked away from this.. youll just have to watch the vid to see it for yourself.....

Is this an April fools, I'm calling shenanigans. He really just stomped that trick clean with chicks on the beach clapping and cheering and whatnot, right?

He did get super lucky though, that's great to hear he's okay.

Glad he's ok.

BTW, what kind of camera are you using, that vid looks awesome (other than the potentially gnarly crash)

looks like he hit the water just in front of it. a split-second later would have been disasterous
