At around 13 minutes you will see some freakish foiling witch craft, could only be topped if he was sipping a cocktail flying down the line!

That is fxxking unbelievable , he is deliberately sitting on the board . Must be to stop the breach . Wow..

The guy is so comfortable with that wave at any size on any craft it seems....hats off, amazing.

Freak skills. But gear wise, the 750 has a lot of front foot pressure at max speed I heard (?) which is probably not the best feature for such endeavor, isn't it? A small Lift foil is probably more fit for the task if I had to guess?

It doesn't look like his weight isn't distributed to the front in that position. Looks pretty centered over the balance point just in front of the mast, which is where the back foot often is (or just in front of the neutral back foot position). That isn't really where I would expect someone to be if they were avoiding a breach. Maybe he's just doing that to get his center of balance lower? I will never know, thats for sure...

It doesn't look like he has a care in the world. Considering the wave and the line he takes, just blows my mind.

Seems like absolutely no fear of the beat-down. the one nose-in wipeout looked like it should've taught him a lesson. Maybe this is considered "small" teahupoo for him

Yes I think he is keeping his weight & centre of gravity low as possible:-)
