How to pretty up two dirty ol turns…
Ain’t it just the most wonderful thing about surf, that you can twist a couple of dirty old turns together and make magic.
In this very short clip by Harry Triglone, we see the Sunshine Coast surfer and grandpappy of jibs, Wade Goodall, who is barely thirty if you can believe it, riffing on a floater-to-chop-hop combo.
“I don’t give a shit about staying relevant. I surf because I love it. If your main concern is staying relevant then you’re on the cow’s tit and milking it hard. I don’t want to do that.

Do you love? Make you wanna surf?
“Wade is surfing’ greatest indie rock and roll band. This is insane,” says What Youth’s Travis Ferré, the only man in the world to turn down a personal invite, with excellent catering included, to Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch.
As for Wade, does he do such things to stay relevant?
“I don’t give a shit about staying relevant. I surf because I love it,” Wade once told me. “If your main concern is staying relevant then you’re on the cow’s tit and milking it hard. I don’t want to do that. Even though more milk would be good for my bone strength. (Wade has suffered multiple broken legs.)”
As for ageing, “I’m more comfortable in myself and am learning to back myself in new things. Having a go instead of not trying because I’m shit at it due to my non experience. I don’t feel like I am in some mature club now though. I’m definitely not getting one of those OK over 25 stickers for my car like those youth-hating lemons. I will try to stay young at heart forever.”
Now, wanna give this mini-jib a name?
The bored housewife?
Teflon floater?

Ive always wondered would it be possible to do a skater style rail slide on the lip of a wave if you had enough speed. Unfortunately my skill level will always keep me wondering.
The Dirty Sanchez because it was such a surprise that my cock almost fell off.
Wade is such a lord
The passion po… oh wait, he’s already got that one
I’ve been wanting to try that for years!! Only problem is I can’t do chop hops. Or floaters.
Have you tried standing up?
I keep telling myself ‘you’re the real slim shady’ but alas i end up riding prone to the shorey.
Taiwanese Botched Tit Job is my preference.
“Chop Gooey”
The “Stormy Daniels”
The “contract year”
He threw down a “Cosby”
Wave thinks your just going to do an innocent floater but end up doing something ugly at the end.
Gotta be a Cosby!
Totally unrelated but did you watch the Occast with Tom Curren.
