Who knew surfing could be so... jazzy?
I’ma be honest with you. I’ve gotta run out the door in like… ten minutes so this will be brief.
But.
I saw this video and thought of you, loyal readers!
Here’s what’s up: The opening scene put me in a great mood. Upbeat music, fun animations, and the distinctive turquoise brine of that blessed Caribbean Sea!
Some highlights include: the quick and vicious combo at 1:28 and the tube from hell at 5:30. I cannot, for moral reasons, declare that Pat G has been gifted with flawless fundamentals, but he makes up for his shortcomings with a spring and zest that is truly contagious.
Short story short, this clip will make you want to surf more than anything I’ve seen in the past week. That’s especially counting Jordy’s Just Now.
Enjoy!

I finally watched that Jordy vid and HOT DAMN everything about it (other than the actual surfing) was cheezy as all hell. Music, b-roll… Fucking hell.
I wonder if Pat is the kind of guy who ponders whether there is a cause to suffering in the world, and whether there is a remedy for that cause….
On second thoughts, why don’t Adidas make wetsuits?
Fire Island with Pat Gung made me want to kill myself actually.
