 Sat Jun 18, 11 11:41 am Serious New Mitu Footage |
 |
|
I know... I'm always "Mitu Mitu Mitu"....
But seriously, he's doing the coolest surf things possible with more style than anyone.

Pretty sick kites too. I may be a little biased though. Yeah, I posted this in the Industry section a while ago. If I get anything new I'll post there.

Mitu's sick but I think Alldredge and patrick take the style category.

I knew the style resistance was sure to pop up.
Mitu all the way.
He's more of the Gerry Lopez / Rob Machado style.
All these other guys are more technical but with less soul.
Thus the original 'style' posting instead of 'most technical'

I still dunno if less soul is the best way to put it but I see your point. Style is completely subjective and quite frankly it'd be a pretty static sport if people didn't have a difference in opinion. I just think that a lot of the central california guys are taking a much more surf inspired approach to the waves while Mitu is super powered down the line windsurf style. They're all products of their environment, cabo verde is a heavy and fast down the line wave.
Also, IMO, strapless vs straps: strapless wins everytime

I can agree to all of that. Good work.

Waves looked pretty sweet. Some good riding too. Liked that young kid. Not sure what the white dude was doing in the video. Looked like he didn't know much about the riding.
