Surf journeyman Michael Dunphy topples longboarder in what is being called “best leash pull ever”

"He's a savage. Classy, bougie, ratchet."

Now, there are many ways to savage kooks including, but not limited to, lowering double barrels on a podcast and firing grosse pointe blank. Then, of course, there are more traditional ways such as slapping the water, barking like a dog, mumbling under breath, staring, thinking bad thoughts or, the greatest, pulling a leash.

World Qualifying Series journeyman, and Floridian, Michael Dunphy put on an absolute clinic with regards to the latter. The perpetually young fellow happens to be on Australia’s Gold Coast with the Deivid Silva etc. when the masterwork occurred. Dunphy can be seen speeding up in order to grab the leash of a lightly overweight longboarder, tugging hard and sending the portly man tumbling.

Praise was near universal.

Scion of positivity Chris Cote declared, “Hey Burkhart, wanna buy some photos?”

Surf photography legend Jimmy “Cane” Wilson added, “This might be my favorite clip ever on instagram.

Style master Devon Howard found the tow technique “on point.

And Joel Tudor brought it all home with, “That’s what ya get for wearing a dork strap on longboard / 2 ft wave.

Savage.

**also, j. Holmes pretty much invented the modern first amendment in the early 20th century and we’ve been arguing about what it means ever since … although I’m all for staying out of jail based on what you say.

Douche with a gopro in his mouth riding a midlength and none of those hundreds of people burned him? Weak.

Anyone born after 1995 would probably be crushed to know how things were handled before lawyers and cops. This is benign by those standards. Very.

Michael Chase’s hood you could get get rat packed just parking. Ditto Waianae. Stockton. Japs. Port H. Hazards. Endless list.

The concept that it’s ok to ignore traffic laws is not supported by the CHP. Wonder why?

By all accounts, Dunphy is a cool guy with more Kandui experience than you, dear reader. That really is about all that matters. Sorry vulnerable adult learners and social media puzzies.

From this chair, this scene can play out anytime waves break and the loss of the self regulation of lineups has done nothing but incubate chaos. Chaos results in no conscience. Why should Dunphy regret what the pudgy long boarder doesn’t?

No offense to the dazzling intellect of Joel Tudor but that wave is clearly 2.5 feet. It was scientifically measured using a drone.

The bloke he almost kills trying to duck dive out of it is the best part.

To be fair, no one really knows what the first means, and the second is basically just an excuse for people who have an excessive need to compensate to show off a weapon bigger than the tiny derringer they were born with

I’ve known Michael since he was a kid. Another example of his great sense of humor. Using a fat longboarder as a tow-in, what could be better?
