World Record!!

Aussie boy, Ethan Cliffors 10, youngest person in the world to land a mobe in competition

Did he wrap it?

Either way, that is awesome!

What mobe was it? Straight back mobe or Moby dick or .......

Thats cool, but how do you know it is a world record. There are alot of hot youngsters here in the states

tony, he said "in competition." which means presumably it would have been observerd by multiple judges (as well as potentially numerous spectators), and perhaps even logged in an official record somewhere.

do you know of any 10 year old in the u.s. that's landed a mobe in competition? if you do it should be fairly simple to prove it.

It's nuts man...I'm 20 and just got serious about wakeboarding like 7 months or so ago. I see kids out at OWC that are like 8 years old doing all this crazy stuff I wish I could do.

Well let me see. I have seen kids as young as 6 doing some major sick wake to wake stuff. also sliders and kickers and yes it was in competition. What type of Competition are we talking about? I still think it is awesome that he can do the trick

you sound a bit disingenous tony. you're not answering the question. are you saying you've seen a 6 year old do a MOBE??

sure, i've seen very young riders do amazing things - but they were amazing because they were 6, not because they were doing mobes. any 6 year old that's riding, let alone hitting sliders or doing serious w2w tricks (like 3s, inverts, etc.), is amazing in my book. but that doesn't mean they've landed a mobe.

Its true, he can land em, I didn't know he did it in a comp, we see Ethan and his bro's on the williams river all the time.. he rips it up..
Lachlin - where is deniliquin?? I'm from newcastle..

I am not disingenous I think it is kewl that he can land a mobe.

The kid who landed the Mobe is Harley Clifford, Ethan is his older brother.

No, it wasn't wrapped either.

hmm, according to this page ethan is the younger one...

http://www.wakeboardaustralia.com.au/nationals.html

ty and harley are both listed in the 10-14 group. ethan is listed in the under 9 group. im assuming this is from last year.

All I know is Harley goes off, he would have been the one that landed it, I'm pretty sure he's the middle one..

Yeah it was in competition, infact it was the Aus nationals so many hundred can vouche for it.
cant say for sure if its a world record but i cant find anything than can prove otherwise.
all three boys are insane and all 3 secured hyperlite contracts last year, the middle one can pull TS BS 540's with ease!
brad deni is about 300km north of melbourne and about 45mins away from echuca

Harley doing a Mobe..
