Dean Smith (and others) KILLING IT!!

Trevor Hansen, Dean Smith, Chad Sharpe, Shawn Watson from Chad Sharpe on Vimeo.

All of the boys killed it in this video but Dean's riding was a standout!! I haven't seen a vid of him out for a while and man, it looks like he kicked it up a notch in Australia this winter (summer). That late bs 3 was just insane.

They should have made Dean ride last. :-)

Man, Trevor is looking SOLID. Plenty of time, nothing rushed. Great stuff.

Dean is just in a class of his own. Unique tricks and style. Huge every time. Huge props to him for doing it different.

That indy moby dick was friggin nuts!!

Great movie, always love Chad's music selection.

Can anyone tell if Watson is riding his Hybrid with or without the fins? I haven't had a chance to ride mine behind the boat yet and was wondering if I needed to put some fins on it.

I've been waiting on a vid of dean ever since his wakeplace set

andrew, i would bet my left testicle on it that he is riding without fins. you will be hard pressed to find a pro riding with center fins in

The new Watsons (regular and Hybrid) don't have center fins, they have two removable fins on the outside on each end. The Watson Classic still has a removable center fin configuration with molded outside fins. So I've been riding my Hybrid on the cable without any fins except for the small shaping on the bottom of the Hybrid. I was wondering if anyone could tell if he had added the metal fins onto the Hybrid.

Dean Smith is an animal out there! The Million Dollar Baby was sick. Is he riding that much faster boat speed or does he just cut that hard?

Dean straight up shreds in that video. He also looks to be almost four feet tall.

Im sure he is riding the hybrid with fins the board was designed to edge with fins and not rely on the boards channels like his previous shapes. The reason his new shape has fins is that they are removable and replaceable for obstacles

Jason, isnt the so called "Million Dollar baby" a tantrum late FS 3? Dean did an Indy (late) moby dick/indy tantrum to BS 3

Adam, you are right. That trick just looked so much different than your typical tantrum to blind(with an additional 180).

damn

So I was watching his interview at the Aussie ProAm and he says that he landed a Hoochie to BS3 ? Never been done before but does not make a big deal of it. WTH?

it's not letting me watch it...says it's Private?

the Hoochie to BS3 was off of the kicker, correct? either way it's still sick!

I can't watch it either. Do you need to be logged into vimeo?

No, he specifically says it was the first one done behind the boat.

that's awesome! hopefully someone can fill us in as to how we can watch this vid.

Dean Smith is becoming one of my favorite riders to watch. He goes so BIG and makes it look so smooth.

it worked a few days ago but now its blocked... very poor

Weak sauce!
