My heart stopped when that wave had him...

Yeeeewwww

I wonder if TAC would cover you if he ran you over? I was in the barrel and he just dropped in. Didn't give way or indicate or nothing.

There is a video showing the development of the ski setup on the bike and Robbie Maddison was interviewed on Triple M this morning.
You probably believe the moon walk was a NASA scam as well!

Manual reads; 1. service after every salt water ride 2. complete engine rebuild required after every submersion 3. store bike in a drum of CRC 5.56 between rides. Who said kitesurfing gear was expensive??
