[vsboy25]

shark island has too many sharks the whole island is circled by them so its risky to surf there, but epic waves.

[hungryforcash]

the board at 0:31 is a knee board u can surf / skim on them

[dleklas]

Props dude. Some sweet footage here. What's going on at 0:31 with that dude? Is he standing up on his bodyboard?

[mantisalive]

I filmed this years and years ago & still cant work it out... i've never seen a board like it..... someone would have to know....heck of a barrel.

[bacura101]

@mantisalive standing up on a kneeboard.

[mantisalive]

@bacura101 ahhh thanks mate

[franoscoots]

@mantisalive its just called drop knee bro one foot up on the board at the front one knee at the back and away you go.

[surf4lifekid]

@mantisalive its actually a stand up bodyboard, turbo make them, search it up on google

[mantisalive]

@dleklas yeh its an amazing pit, i reckon it is a snapped surfboard... riding with too much control to be anything else i think.

[Allispunjah808]

[mantisalive]

the sea is rising-  bliss n eso

[tbdog007]

0:56 wtf is that i cant make it out but it looks fucking sick

[mantisalive]

its called a GORF, i think nathan purcell invented it.

[BIRDHOUSEbroDIE]

@tbdog007 It's actually a gyroll air, a combination of an El Rollo followed by a front flip before landing. This trick was invented by Mike Stewart.

[JulesR1974]

Last wave - Nice little barrel for Mantis.

[JulesR1974]

Hey Jay, 1:00 perfect Dbar... That day was awsome. I have a bunch of stills from that day. Best pics in my set.

[arunprasanth07]

can anyone tell me what album is the background song from?..

[mantisalive]

first song: sea is rising

album: flying colours

artist: bliss n eso

[lidkid05]

WTF?

0:56

[mantisalive]

Pretty sure that is Nugget(nathan purcell). He invented this move & called it a GORF (frog backwards).

[shutupbucky]

does he land on a rock at 1:29 coz it looks like it

[mantisalive]

nope, that last bit called 'surge' always churns like that.

[owling9]

I used to surf those places back in the 60s and 70s ...... thanks for posting.

[mantisalive]

kirra back then would of been heaven

[owling9]

Indeed it was.... as was Fingal, Palm Beach, Currumbin Alley. Sun wasn`t as hot back then either. Live in North Japan now and the surf up here is very ordinary indeed. I enjoyed looking at your vids.

Have a good one.

[inthewired0000]

Hey you get some great snow dumps up in hokkaido now as a trade off :P

[owling9]

Maybe true of Hokkaido but I live in the north of Honshu and there:s only a little bit of snow here so far. And it:s #### cold.

Would swap it for a good surf anytime.

[inthewired0000]

haha fair enough

[akaunknown1]

i like how you put surfing and bodyboarding in there it makes more interesting to watch

[vortexboy87]

Sick!

[pioupiou29]

[wasimradamat]
