Headed out with the intention to switchfoot every wave today. Made the small conditions a little more fun. Just trimming along on the log on a beautiful day...vid might be a little long for some, skip to the 5 min mark if you get bored for an interesting take off

Nice Mick. Stylin'.
That board's got great glide by the looks. Any yes, nice takeoff.... i was hoping you were going to clean up the bloke paddling out, but we can't have everything.

Cheers guys...the guy paddling out was happy I made that takeoff lol & yep that's Pup on his Jimmy Lewis...I cut out a lot of even smaller waves, that board does have awesome glide & can be ridden really well. I wanna get some footage of the bloke who inspired me to chase one up. He does awesome cut backs & nose rides

True that...maybe you'll be able to get him out on his LB when he moves over there. Weather might be better for his back

I like your vids. They get me pumped. Switch foot is so hard I find, so great effort.

Cool mate. I love making them...I've been switch footing a lot since I got my first LB 2 years ago. Bloody hopeless at cross stepping though

You should give switch footing a go on your LB, heaps easier than on a SB. Like on end sections before you kick out to get used to it.

.........Yeah Andy, I'm not fussy about size. Always stoked if the winds blowing in the right direction

Very impressive Mick - you almost look more comfortable on a log as a Goofy. Keep up the good work.

ha ha ha

Nah I just think you look pretty natural as a goof once you get established in your stance. You have given me some good motivation to give it a crack myself. I used to do alright on a snowboard going fakie in the good old days but never really masted goofy on a skateboard. My log has now arrived on the island so no real excuses !!!!!!

Yep taking off switchfoot is easier coz you don't have to turn around while riding the wave. Next time conditions are like that I'll make a switchfoot vid taking off goofy
