Surfing a 90 foot wave – covered in Old Spice

I can hear Leftfield and smell aftershave

The best part of this video, Surfing a 90 foot wave, are the comments that follow: ‘you want blood pain fear; get a real job or get married, you freak, and meet the friggen in-laws’

It is an amazing achievement for surfer Garrett McNamara, beating his own personal record (what?) by riding a 90ft wave off the coast of Portugal! Anything over four foot and I start thinking about life insurance ads. However, as noted in the comments, he starts off on the wave with his left foot forward (natural) and finishes with his right foot forward (goofy). Hang on! Nobody, not even Roy Castle with his Zen like mastery of the bugle for summoning-up the force or what he rightly called “dedication” and covering himself with Old Spice could switch from natural to goofy foot, by unstrapping his feet while hurtling down a 90 foot wave.

An amazing feat of human mastery, though I think the film editor has got his bugle the wrong way round!
