His career at Element so much reminds me of Brent Atchley where he was promoted so heavy on there and once he got off, it's almost like you never hear from the guy anymore.

To be a fly on the wall for a potential convo between &&, Kelly Hart, and Greyson Fletcher (in skartist mode) at an opening. I can’t even imagine what that would be like.

Seriously though, I enjoy that he’s created a recurring character that is identifiable. A good exercise in branding & frankly, no worse than Mikey’s “pterodactyl with hair” thing.

Yep. He’s from the 1st family of California surfing. Grandparents are legends. His dad Christian is a legend (but a kook) and his uncle Nathan is pretty gnarly big wave and air dude. Nathan questionable on the kook meter. Typical San Clemente surf dudes. Imagine why only RVCA and vans mess with him it seems after element. Who knows.

Christian's pretty fried, there might still be hope for Nathan. Christian was tweaking pretty hard many years ago. Trestles, State Beach, T-street, SC pier localism BS when they were young wouldn't have helped either of them.

My friend and her bf went to a weekday Flo Rida show at some small club in dc a couple years back. There was literally less than ten people there but he wasn’t bummed at all. He decided to perform but also broke out his own liquor and everyone got drunk together while he was performing. They said it was the most fun show they’ve ever been to. I think he still has all his money he just loves to party, very underrated guy

That was solid. Josh Kerr also amazing straight air surfer, does a lot of proper skate grabs. There was a time when photos of bailed airs were being published a lot in surf media, particularly early-mid nineties but it's a lot better now. Not sure if Christian Fletcher did a kickflip, plenty of shuvits early on. Earliest kickflip I ever saw was a sequence of a Malibu rider doing one off backwash going straight. Ozzie Wright has done a bs kickflip but landed a little off the back of the wave from memory

Forgot about Zoltan. Didn't Volcom have a kickflip on a surfboard competition with a decent amount of prize money for the first to pull a proper one? If memory serves correct, Zoltan "won", but volcom refused to pay on some technicality? Memory fuzzy there, so I could be talking bullshit...

“ In March 2011, Santa Cruz, California-based surfer, Zoltan Torkos, landed the first filmed kickflip on a surfboard. At least he thought had. Action-sports-apparel manufacturer Volcom, who offered up $10,000 for the first person to do one, refused to pay him, citing rule number three of the 2007 contest rules: “the kickflip must be a proper air that begins from a bottom turn, is launched off the lip and travels above the wave.” But on March 9th, Volcom reversed their decision and awarded Torkos the money saying, “there is no denying that this is the first functional kickflip caught on video and a milestone in futuristic surfing.” Despite granting Torkos the award, Volcom immediately put up another $20,000 and clarified the rule to encourage more (and bigger) attempts. Zoltan, undeterred by the controversy, says he’ll be the first to pull the trick in competition … off the lip of the wave.”

Zoltan does them on the regs. They're not real pretty, but he's a sick cunt.

Forgot about Zoltan. Didn't Volcom have a kickflip on a surfboard competition with a decent amount of prize money for the first to pull a proper one? If memory serves correct, Zoltan "won", but volcom refused to pay on some technicality? Memory fuzzy there, so I could be talking bullshit...

“ In March 2011, Santa Cruz, California-based surfer, Zoltan Torkos, landed the first filmed kickflip on a surfboard. At least he thought had. Action-sports-apparel manufacturer Volcom, who offered up $10,000 for the first person to do one, refused to pay him, citing rule number three of the 2007 contest rules: “the kickflip must be a proper air that begins from a bottom turn, is launched off the lip and travels above the wave.” But on March 9th, Volcom reversed their decision and awarded Torkos the money saying, “there is no denying that this is the first functional kickflip caught on video and a milestone in futuristic surfing.” Despite granting Torkos the award, Volcom immediately put up another $20,000 and clarified the rule to encourage more (and bigger) attempts. Zoltan, undeterred by the controversy, says he’ll be the first to pull the trick in competition … off the lip of the wave.”

Never would I ever have thought I’d be more stoked on a dude’s art who rides for a longboard company over whatever the fuck Fat Bill is up to this week.

Mad respect to NF but  some of these huge airs.... he's not landing, or landing out the back of the wave not in the face. His Surfer's Journal cover was a prime example and I think this one also.

That was solid. Josh Kerr also amazing straight air surfer, does a lot of proper skate grabs. There was a time when photos of bailed airs were being published a lot in surf media, particularly early-mid nineties but it's a lot better now. Not sure if Christian Fletcher did a kickflip, plenty of shuvits early on. Earliest kickflip I ever saw was a sequence of a Malibu rider doing one off backwash going straight. Ozzie Wright has done a bs kickflip but landed a little off the back of the wave from memory

Agreed. That is indeed solid. Perfect landing. This is the one with the suspect landing

Yeah, but it was still very sick. That high and levelled out, and he came down pretty much on his board, just over the back. Shows what's possible if someone in their 40's is doing that.

Best part of the video is at 2:12 when it goes to slow motion for no reason but instead of having the sound also in slow motion they just loop the background noise twice.
