Chris Ward and the best wrap in surf!

A move so good you'll want to emulate!

I never hide my love for the wrap-around cutback in our dear surf. The move is both smooth and fierce, functional and stylish, simple yet takes many lifetimes to master.

Who has had the in surf history do you think? Andy Irons? Tom Curren? The Duke?

Maybe Chris Ward?

Examine his repertoire in this clip by Strictly Surf. He uses his wrap to slow down, to speed up, to cut ‘tween people, to wow!

I think his could be considered one of the best in surf history. But what about you? What do you think?

He’s a piece of crap. Preventative measures for crotch rot would be of real interest. Out of curiosity, is he still a stickered board surfer? My guess is that he is because the surf sales game endorses the Wardo training regiment, so long as it leads to a good cutback. Isn’t that the sort of substance lost made mega on? Nothing like making cash stacks one success story at a time!

I prefer 15 year old What’s Really Goin On/Wrong Wardo. I’d have to say his barrel riding prowess has improved, but it seemed like he peaked before he could get a driver’s license. I wonder how long it took him to get that?!

Hhhmmm, you mean the guy that went from hero to zero?
Unless it’s an article on how owned he got in jail, or how he could turn his life around and start raising awareness for domestic violence, fuck that shit.

Almost like one of his forehand hooks to the face of his wife.

Like his mental abilities, his surfing looks slow.

Low hanging fruit Karl.

It boggles my mind that this industry still idolizes this piece of shit, no matter how “cool” his cutbacks are.
