Gony Zubizarreta’s forehand floater re-entry... The floater re-entry is a good move to have in your locker for several reasons. They feel good, they look good, they’re not as hard to do as Kerr-upt Flips or BS Alley-oops, they can make for great watershots and give all important versatility to your surfing.

The wave is fast as hell so knowing when and how to put the brakes on is the key to finding your way in to a Supertubos pit.

Reubyn Ash has been a shining beacon in an average sea ever since the day he put his toes in the chilly north Cornish waters around his hometown of Bude. He’s won pretty much everything going since the age of 12. He has more championship wins than fingers.
