Maybe just towing in? I dont see a kite. WINDUDE Since 10 Jun 2010 558 Posts GORGE!

It'd be my guess he was doing that or tow in. http://rushrandle.com/strapsurfing.htm wakeup Since 11 Sep 2005 328 Posts always Obsessed Thu Sep 06, 12 7:07 am     shopped tuff forrest Since 21 Jun 2005 4330 Posts Hood River Hick CGKA Member Thu Sep 06, 12 7:46 am     totally Photoshop'd, lol chrissmack Since 08 Jun 2005 526 Posts portland Addicted Thu Sep 06, 12 9:26 am     Forrest wrote: totally Photoshop'd, lol definitely! here is the original picture...    realpic.jpg  knotwindy Since 25 Sep 2011 615 Posts Addicted Thu Sep 06, 12 10:43 am     Picklefork, no way he rode back then! flipper Since 17 Oct 2011 320 Posts Obsessed Thu Sep 06, 12 6:27 pm     I can't believe he is riding a pickle with no straps Nak Since 19 May 2005 4305 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Thu Sep 06, 12 8:05 pm     Here's the original pic...    pic201284pylz5pn1_119.jpg  DROCK999 Since 31 May 2007 852 Posts Left Coast Opinionated Thu Sep 06, 12 10:27 pm     Nak wrote: Here's the original pic... kelly would never ride deck pads _________________ BIP- "YOUR GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE" Nak Since 19 May 2005 4305 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Thu Sep 06, 12 10:47 pm     DROCK999 wrote: Nak wrote: Here's the original pic... kelly would never ride deck pads Picky, picky.

With the wave breaking just outside the reef and the reef 1-2 feet below the water you dont want to be swimming over it to get a board. It took a while to get used to it and get the right length but i kinda like it now. Took tony a while to get used to it too but in big waves and nasty reef it makes sense. Might keep it on in certain situations. Eveyone bails out the back side of this wave to avoid the close out and get back out quickly. Lots boards and riders flying through the air today. Actually was amazed how fast they got up and were riding. Down time was only a few seconds on some. Might not work for thick nw &ca waves.
