That is absolutely beautiful .
I have seen a longer wave ridden by Robby Naish on a sup but nowhere near as dreamy as this.
Koa can die a happy man !
What's the best windsurf run ?

That's a good vid , long ride but no where near as dreamy . It's going to be hard to beat.
The best dreamy windsurf vid I've seen would have to be be windsurf Australia movie.
They have have taken it off youtube
Upper WA has got to be the most beautiful water.

It's kind of weird timing a wave ride on sailboard, especially when linking wave sections together. I mean, I could sail across Botany Bay for 10 minutes, and claim it was a single swell. Would love to see someone manage to do the same 7 minute ride on a surfboard though!

Well it's one of the longest I've ever seen, I'll give you that, but "best wave ever ridden", I think would need more than just length.
He rode it fairly conservatively, but efficiently. I think Slater, Florence, Medina, or Fanning would have put a different spin on it, with the same length.
