Definitely the sickest wave riding I have seen.

@ 48 sec mark, isn't that what people refer to as a "tindy" grab (aka "lame")? I realize there's a shifty with it, but I think that looks super cool. Of course, I am very old in wakeboarding years!

Sick man... Darin's a legend for a good reason.

Adam, you gotta use a beach with a steep slope. Long flat beaches mean the waves break very far outside.

Kat, looks like he grabs it right between his feet, legit indy. Ride for yourself, don't worry what people consider lame.

I've been wanting to try some surf winching, a friend just got a winch so hopefully it will happen.

Isn't that from an episode of Pull where they visit some Marine base?

No he's just outside Acapulco, Mexico in that picture riding at the Acapulco Getaways resort. He takes people down there through Ride the Spot every once in a while. Its an awesome place and the guys that run it are really nice.
