Sweet Jens......looks like you were hammering it, like always!! And to think that Roman was up there with you ripping.....awesome. Never a bad day at the beach when Roman's bringing the KARMA!!

my dad was up there and saw you guys killin it, he called me to tell me it was rippin' at baileys! good thing was it was rippin at the Oregon Coast too!

Awesome pic as always Jens,loved those powered moves.

I tried to get Roman to come with us,but he already made his mind,cool you guys get some riding together.Must be one hell of a show to watch you two rip up!

With the purple warrior its hard man,almost like teaching elephant how to fly,good you gave him lesson

I tried strapless over the weekend,but its not easy..very different than with the front strap only,have to practice that and get ready for fall!

People don't believe me when I tell them that having one footstrap is hindering them way more then helping. Think about the relationship between any board and your feet, you are always pushing into the board so essentially you never need foot straps unless you are jumping.

I often tell people who are struggling with a twin tip to pretend you don't have the straps and focus on edging the board with your heel. G took the advice and it worked.

Ryan, hope all is well on the coast.

West, normally I am kinda scared when I see Roman ready to kite. Up till now it meant 20m wind. But times have changed, he was riding an 11 and rippen.
