BR- Older fellas don't usually tweak out their grabs like that!
THANK YOU for sharing this Dave, it's very cool to see it from your perspective, loved the jump over the boat!
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

I am real interested in hearing what level Sir Richard is riding at now. He was still at an experienced novice level a few years ago when he swung by
Squamish.
OG aren't supposed to ride the english channel either. I am really hoping to here He IS " tweeking his grabs " ! Sir Richard isn't one to go about
thing 1/2 :moon:. I would not be at all amazed to hear that was him 
What a life ! What a COOL guy !

Ahh Unfortunately that's not the Branmeister, that was me, infact all the jumps except 2:26 are me, that just is Charlie Smith. It was gusting past
35knots and I was on a 10.5m the whole way, jumping the boat was always going to happen lol, I did manage to resist for about 2 hours which i thought
was well restrained. I only lasted 10minutes before breaking out the board offs and big airs.
It was the nicest of days

He is currently at the same sort of level you describe, competent but not advanced, I don't think he would be able to jump yet but at 61 he's pretty
epic!

Always good value, PUSH vids - thanks! Rock on, Sir Rick!
Question for you - did you just blast the whole way on a single tack? How did your back-leg cope?
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
