The Weirdest and Most Wonderful Waves of 2016

These are the waves that provide a reprieve from tiresome terms like high-performance and progression. We’ve pieced together everything from the dolphin jumping on a WA grom in Kalbarri, Blair Conklin’s work on the Wedge sider, Kai Lenny’s double wave, JOB’s hamster wheel at Pipe, Alex Smith seated at Namibia and more. So go ahead and pour yourself a snifter and watch the best dance moves of the year.

What is that guy riding at 1:07???? The SURF BOARD IS INVISIBLE!!!... WTF!!!!... Any info on this? is it edited???

[@0x7FFFFFFFFFFF]

no

[@zack6062]

it's made of glass

[@naaffax6700]

i dont think its glass. because there is no sign of refractions there. and if it is full glass it will sink. it should have air inside it which means that its linings should be visible in some angles. just like how a big glass sheet would be invisible from the front but has a color to it from side and also have some sort of refraction properties. So basically i think the video looks edited.

[@0x7FFFFFFFFFFF]

yeah it's edited, that should've been immediately obvious.

[@zack6062]

It's glass I saw the original video

[@delby66]

Our football (soccer) team were in Los Angeles for a tournament way back in 1980. We were staying in Redondo Beach and when we had some free time we went to the beach. One day there were six of us body surfing and having a good time when we noticed a few surfers had come down. The waves were pretty high....I'd say 5-6 feet and we sat on the beach watching these guys. It was pretty amazing. One of the guys came in and my teammate when up to the guy and asked if we could try surfing. The guy was really friendly and he got his other buddies to come in. They gave us a crash course on how to surf. They took us out and let us try. The hardest part was paddling to catch up with the waves. I managed once to get up and stand on the board. The only thing was that I lasted about 5 seconds and then into the surf I went.LOL. It was a great experience. I have mad respect for these guys. They are amazing to watch and incredibly brave. It takes a lot of practice and lot of dedication to do what these guys do. Years of experience pays off in this sport.

[@delby66]

I forgot to mention, I was24 at the time. I'm 65 now. No way would I try to surf now. My knees wouldn't allow me too. LOL.
