Brad Domke on his Ride of the Year Nominated Wave - WSL Big Wave Awards 2015

Спорт

Brad Domke (Wabasso Beach, Florida, USA) takes us through his controversial wave (ridden on a finless skimboard) that earned an unprecedented nomination in the Billabong Ride of the Year category of the 2015 WSL Big Wave Awards. Domke rode the wave at Puerto Escondido, Mexico on July 5, 2014. He finished in fifth place. Dylan Palmer was the nominated videographer. For more information, see the event website at www.WorldSurfLeague.com/XXL.
Pro Surfing is back with the Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold Rumble At The Ranch.

    Domke's sponsors, and the fertile training grounds of Laguna Beach area, deserve some credit too in this awesome moment. The Exile team riders push the limits, and each other every day, with stunning skill and dedication. Usually, the pros from all major skimboard companies, along with Domke are approachable and kind people too, which for me makes pro skimboarding a fascinating sport of our time. Long may it prosper!!!

The guys at Exile were super cool people, and the fact that their riders have done so much for the sport is another story. Mad respect for Domke and all his wonders!
