Bort looked fun, but all those guys look good on most crafts IMO.

Can we talk about Channel Islands?

True but if you looked at the board first who would think groveller/fishy hybrid first and not imagine it performing well in waves Joe average would be riding their step up? That was my initial impression upon seeing the board. I dug seeing that board doing so well.

Was just thinking it’s a Pod and MTF mashup. One of the few CI boards I’d like to try.
Another G-skate Japanese video popped up on my You tube feed.
Might as well post it up since it has better waves than the first Japanese video I posted.
We can all still wonder what they are saying about it?

Look at the tail end of that board. The board is made for good surf.
Friggin training wheels! Gross
you order it.
BTW, the CI Pro actually looks like a fairly user friendly short board.
The rear trailer for the AMT's has had a re-shape lately. It's this now. A bit of Britt beak going on.
you can really see the g skate pushed to its limits here:
You have to love his stock and what I assume are free borts (and a wettie or two) to try.
I don’t know where in New Jersey he’s sarfing, but my wife is from Philly and I get in the water in Ocean City (wife’s family has several properties there) a couple times a year and I’ve always lucked into much better waves than I left in Los Angeles’ South Bay.
Almost every video I’ve seen of Yuri’s are in really tiny conditions. I get the feeling he avoids the CH+ top-to-bottom waves I’ve seemed to luck into most trips I’ve been out there for the last 23 years with my wife.
I will say the caliber of sarfing is pretty high in the zones where I’ve sarfed in NJ . It’s comparable to Huntington/Newport in contrast to South Bay area where the performance mean is substantially lower.

If it's one thing he specialises in, its exploring the lower limits of a boards performance.
He seems unable to hit the lip.
Still, he was able to ride it so at least it must be very user-friendly.

Agreed, but he’s an intermediate surfer at best and I think if you’re still at that level at his age, unless you’re able to get a lot of reps in at a wavepool and/or have the funds to travel consistently, you’re kind of stuck where you are.
I don’t see him getting to the point where he’s getting his fins out anytime soon unless he consistently gets out of his zone and has some sort of coaching.
