Just saw this trailer and dug it. I only ride in the surf, and enjoy watching some of the best rip it. The trailer is shot on the North Shore of Oahu, and I truly look forward to getting the whole movie as I am sure there are other great locations as well.

A few shots from a low wind, small wave day, but it's all i've got

Interesting Porkus - My 9 is exhibiting similar behavior, although I haven't had the opportunity to test the low end yet.
