does anyone know what happened to the extended version of the val ching vid, it was more interesting in that it showed several more waves being ridden by val ching and you got a look at his paddle in style. the vid used to be on the eyes of a ghost blog but i have not been able to relocate it....sort of puts into perspective the recent brewer vs mctavish debate on who "invented" the modern standup shortboard. oh! and OG-AZN liked your vid heaps, gets hard to keep that smile off your face somedays dont it! |

^Yeah, that vid has been taken down from every site it was posted on. I wish I had saved it. Hydrodynamica producers locking up the rights to it? Suspect it will appear again at some point.
Glad you liked my vid. That was a fun day for sure. |

yeah if that val ching vid was like some quasi religious revelation which might adversley effect the belief structures of the corporate "statue" surfing world we may have some paranoid conspiracy thingy goin on! is statue surfing the lost dance and a sublimation of more primal needs and therefore when we ride prone are we more in touch with the divine (transient experience often glimpsed in the barrell) |

I remember seeing the extended video (riding several waves with gabby pahinui's Royal Hawaiian hotel as the soundtrack) on myspace a few years back, but sometime last summer I looked it up and it was either blocked or removed by the person who posted it..... _________________ " NO SCARED UM, GO GET UM!
