Pure Australian POWER Surfing | Wade Carmichael in 'Mint'

[@j.franciscofrances7144]

I fail to understand how surfing is all about aerials these days. To me, this is the way surfing should be. I could watch this on repeat for hours.

[@dannyboy480]

quality!!! not one crappy air rev too

[@nic5958]

Arial surfing is a fad

[@falakoala4579]

@@nic5958 it makes no sense. a well rounded surfer should do everything well. Why is it a victory being unable to perform a manoeuvre.

[@jonathanhalloran5350]

I'd rather watch 1 of Wade's torqueing carves than 12 of FIlipe's revs

[@killmesoicanrespawn3775]

@@falakoala4579 only kooks who will never be able to do airs hate em. They're nothing but fun.

[@countryroadstakemehome]

@@killmesoicanrespawn3775 they're for showpony kids, children do airs in hopes others will respect them for it..

[@GoliathFins]

Great to see a bigger power surfer get some coverage. I'm so over tiny guys doing airs. I much prefer to watch someone drawing beautiful lines and throwing buckets. Well done Stab 👍 A bit more of this kind of stuff in the future please

[@johndee1653]

Agree and to think the world champ is going to be found flicking airs at Treatles rather than heaving waves such as Cloud Break or Pipe .WSL will lose credibility if there is no place for someone surfing like Wade .

[@GoliathFins]

@@johndee1653 In my humble opinion the professional world champ should be a master of all trades. Air, carve, death keg. I just love a bit of variety in the world of non stop air clips. It does my nut. What are your thoughts?

[@GoliathFins]

@@johndee1653 Treatles! I've only just seen this. Why didn't WSL pick a wave that leaves it open to anyone? J Bay or Bells - nowhere to hide. Really exposes your surfing. Trestles?

[@lancejackson3618]

@@GoliathFins Couldn’t agree more. Deciding the world title at trestles seems like a bit of a joke tbh. I’m oh so very sick of seeing air reverses. . The Brazilians will be happy. They should win every title from now til forever. Maybe Toledo will win a title after all?. I mean why not just go the whole hog and have the whole tour in a bunch of 1 ft wave pools on waves it’s not possible to do a proper cutback on!

[@GoliathFins]

@@lancejackson3618 nationality has nothing to do with it for me. All the top surfers rip in all conditions. I just think there could be better locations to hold a final.

[@paulsmith5167]

Still gets me every excited watching this 3 years later

All hail the Avoca Jesus

Best move ever signing this guy up

Great clean lines with a lot of old school power surfing, 80-90’s surfing style in amongst the new era- thumbs up

[@silo2105]

This shit will NEVER get old. SO much beef in those turns.

[@michaelono7335]

Awesome video!!! Finally a video where the guy is over 150 lbs and there are no airs every 10 seconds...

[@outofofficetravels8374]

Music selection compliments the power of his surfing 🔥🔥🔥

[@lv42daze]

agreed, its acid king i believe. power to match power!

[@impartialinterest]

the last time i saw somebody draw such powerful lines on a clear white single sticker Rusty was in the late 80s. some grommet called occhilupo or something ;)

[@graememac376]

Who?

[@kikemunozkonig832]

Some Taylor Knox there too

[@rustyworldwide]

Yeah, ill back that.

[@rpmx9699]

Matt Branno!!

[@robruitenberg4064]

Occupy had more controlled aggression I’d think.

[@Optable]

If dude just lived at pipe in the winter he'd be steady mixing with all the popular content fellas on NS.

[@fdb4233]

Power surfing should be scored the same if not higher than blowing a whole line just to do an air. Airs are amazing, but these turns are where the real power lies. Wow. Amazing entry Stab!

[@lancejackson3618]

Yeah how is one crappy air rev worth a 6.73( Italo’s last wave to win at D bah last year) Yet you could throw 2 or 3 sick gouges and get a 5!??One sick cutback should be worth more than one shitty air rev. I mean big punts sure. They deserve to be scored. Throw something crazy and you deserve a 10. Pop a lame ass little rotator and get a 7. Yet throw a huge full speed cutty to foam bounce and get a 4. Doesn’t make any sense?? And on that note, Kolohe gets so burnt by the judges every year! I’m not sure why his airs are scored so low compared to the Brazzas? It’s quite bewildering as a fan. The blatant favouritism by the judges does my head in. Sick edit though🤙🏼

[@hortonator4]

Power surfing 101 right here. God damn

[@paulsmith5167]

The best surf video in a long time 10/10

[@williambass9935]

He owned that ! Good center balance; surfed like a rabid chimp . Killer power surfing ! That's what it's about !

[@ricardomagro2883]

This movie is so well done. And the surfing is sick.

[@jamescox8402]

Yeah, I like Wade and Connor for that very reason: power. Nice work mate, cheers.

[@adamdemiri8048]

I think the DNA of your home break is imprinted on everyone that surfs. I see so many glimpses of surfer’s styles that I grew up surfing with at Avoca in Wade’s powerful style, people that he may have never have been in the water with, but whose surfing style has been passed on through a collective conscious. Sanga at 3.48. RIP.

[@alzoid69]

Wicked surfing. When he's not completely shredding the face he's getting slotted. 🙌

[@txzz4688]

Wade is pure surfing. so is Rusty. Good to see

[@wattleseedcollective202]

Oh look - no WSL comps and style is back in vouge - as it should be. Nice one

[@natural_law]

Thanks CovAIDS

[@mrjobber498]

Wade undoubtedly has the sickest and steeziest surf style

[@ynech]

Great video.

Sweet one! Mahalo for bringing the power. Pure power. 🤙🏼🤙🏼👊🏼💥

[@bobby9476]

1:50 - HOLY!!!

[@scottnorthey3271]

Wade RIPS!! Can’t wait to see him charging in Hawaii soon. East Coast America rooting for ya mate. Btw your new nickname should be “CAPT. CAVE MAN”, I’m sure only a few older Americans will remember who that is but google it. Wade’s/Rusty model = The Capt.Cave Man.

[@warrenwilson6763]

Surely has a top notch wrapping carve, as good as John John and Mick Fanning.

[@simongraff8988]

Rusty is one of my local board shops yeeeeeew

Not one part of the wave is wasted. Love it!

Yup I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like SoaD or Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho

Amazing surfing. Just wonder how much better he could get without the beer gut, it was getting in the way on a few turns.

[@lancejackson3618]

He wouldn’t be the same surfer or person if he went all fitness freak on it and lost the gut. And then he’d just be like everyone else on tour. He likes to dance to the beat of his own drum. Good on ya Wade

@@lancejackson3618 maybe but then maybe like Wilko he'd have a run at a title. Judges are already smoking what he's selling so wouldn't be impossible.

[@lancejackson3618]

@@onshore1ft Yeah fair call. He could be selling himself short in that respect. But I love the fact that he’s just going out there and doing his thing. Tough to reinvent yourself in your late 20s too.. Seems to me he’s just enjoying his time on the CT while it lasts(if it ever returns). I mean the guy was laying bricks a few years ago to fund his QS campaign/get to Hawaii each season. He’s living the life now and not compromising his values/lifestyle to fit the mould. He’s not thinking world title really. Wade just wants to lay rail and destroy faces. Come what may. Good ol Aussie shredder. I love his style👌🏼
