wtf? how can this be called fake surfing? I am a surfer, a dedicated one, but seriously, its not fake surfing, no-one goes into the world tour looking to make backflips! this is a hybrid sport, and its fucking brilliant! Doctrgold, i like ur taste.
@surftherapylagos it's considered fake surfing because it's different from bein on a real wave in the ocean if your a dedicated surfer you would know this is way harder than surfing, hella fun tho
@jkcrespo91 but what is 'fake' about it? it takes elements from surfing yaa for sure but also other board sports. so is it fake wakeboarding too? and fake snowboarding?
however i defo agree on the fun side of things hahaha
i surf there often. the water is cold. the swell infront at pacific beach is shit (most of the time) and its alway onshore wind. wetsuits help you from being cold. water temperature in SD never gets below 52 but can get as warm as 78 (9/1/09) its whatever you feel comfortable with, and yes, it can rip bathing suits off. when you waiting for your turn it can get nippy, so i choose to wear a wetsuit.
I am sure if the waves are going off in the ocean not many real surfers at the flow rider, but if its flat and blown-out what better way to spend an afterrnoon. San Diego gets below freezing (32f) in january every once in awhile, averages 48f low. wetsuit is the only way to go and it also helps protect you when you go down hard. I think winters have been cold in diego for awhile, but I only have records going back to the famous crop freeze in 1787. man that sucked, me wettie wasnt seam sealed.
Because it was cold. The contest was during winter. The water sits in a giant swimming pool underneath the wave surface so it's basically solar heated. Cold weather = cold water = wetsuits.
@DoctrGold Im sorry but in the description it says september, september is in the summer/fall, not the winter... But i still understand that the water is cold
of course u can't do a front flip and a 540 on a normal wave the flow rider is the perfect wave machine also these guys are pro surfers they got skills =)
yea i dont think that you can call tht surfing really because theres like no challenge its all there easy an put out for you and the wave are perfect, but it was still sick
its impressive and i cant do anything like that but i prefer and thinks it much better when they use a real wave because you nec=ver know how good it can be which is most of the fun
Holy cow people. In this vid everyone is riding boards with straps, except for Laz (green) in his third run (7:00). I was calling Blacksilver an idiot. What the hell are you talking about? Spongers avoiding real surfers!? And Mikey, come ride sometime if you haven't already. There's a comp on August 9th and 30th.
wow , get colonic irrigation while surfing that saves time .

Also wet suits help protect the skin from the affects of the fast water and hard surface. Try doing it in cold weather without and see if you agree.
