this is so cool @mtnsurfps and boy does the water look cold! how long before leg burn?

It depends on how often we are getting out... Sometimes we can go for a whole 60seconds before the legs start to burn, other times it starts after only 30! haha. You can kind of stand and just front surf to stretch your legs and go after the turns again. Easily get 5min + rides!

oh wow that is a long time! the closest I got to 60 second rides, was in Chicama Peru and there I got some major leg burns. Doubt it was 5 minutes, you must have insanely strong thighs.

That's a long time! If you want a shorter ride with a spectacular ending come over to the Wedge this summer and i'll shoot some shots! Haha i'm just goofing around

Question, Isn't this week 3 of the contest?

yeah, it looks like i messed up on the weeks... oops!

So good :) I bet it is hard to stay up at first.

Getting up is the hardest part, you do need to work to stay in the wave a bit though.
