No doubt that kid is definitely pushing the limits of strapless riding.

DEFINITELY better than I; but certainly not at the limits... Ben Wilson, Mauricio Abreu, Moe Goold have the 'limits' covered. I've seen Bonetti rip like that-- Ian's probably a better rider than on the video--for the waves that day were small... Nice riding Ian!

Hate to shoot you down Kramer but Wilson, Moe, and Bonetti got nothing on this kid STRPALESS. Abreu is sick strapless but I think Ian is a much more progressive rider when it comes to strapless (transitions, jibes, etc. not just riding wave faces)

HEy - Thats my local break - California street in Ventura.
That guy shure does rip. Those strapless jumps are totally sik . The quick foot switch to lip smak seems to be his signature - SmmmAK ! I personally don't care for the fancy gybin & tackin style tho - Reminds me too much of pole-surfing. I'll take some pix to post next time I see him out.

I say this in retrospect of how well Ian actually surfs the wave and stays in the pocket and his ability to link so many maneuvers together. Wilson, Abreu, and Goold are all awesome in the surf but what separates Ian from these guys is his ability to make it Look like surfing and his insane ability to move about on his board like it's nothing. As far as conditions go, I enjoy watching and kiting in similar conditions to what Alldredge is in. Not taking anything away from Wilson and what he's doing on the big wave frontline. _________________ BIP- "YOUR GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE"
