Thanks for the kind words

The surfers with legs were so surfed out from the non-stop waves at Jeffreys Bay the last 6 weeks that they sat on the beach with their beers and watched

That's direct outtake from the live feed. So it is what it is

Really? There were 123 competitors at the event end defy to find one of them who thinks that's a problem.

Thanks mate

Chayne is beautiful to watch

Thanks for those words

The commentators slipped into the role as if they were born for it

And translated for the rest of the world, Johan is saying 'Nice'. 😁

I'm hoping to get an interview at this event. Will post soon

The next 10 days we will see, at the World Championships, a collection of skills like never seen before. There's no major name that has not made the trip. We are very lucky

The challenge we have in J-Bay is just how many stars, how many talented riders there going to be there. That's a very good challenge

Thanks Chris. We've tried to set up the event so that the Global village style community can be engaged. Just because you're not at the beach doesn't mean you can't be part of the Gathering. So please keep engaging through Facebook through TH-cam Instagram etc. you can send me videos directly and I'll get them flighted on the live broadcast through TH-cam and onto the Facebook page.

Thanks

I don't know if there will be any 10 ft barrels at J-Bay. There will be waves, will be camaraderie and there will be a good competition.

@@kneeboardtorque5971 8' do you reckon? Hopefully there will be long & glassy walls and beautifully cool giving me occasion to wear a steamer and boots.

Put a Kneeboard on a good wave and you fly

As I said elsewhere, Tom gets particularly strong when the waves become a little wild, a little woolly, a little big, a little broken. What's fantastic with this is event is we got the who's who of the big names coming to Jeffreys Bay. Any heat with one of the top 10 names in it is going to be exciting. We are in for a hell of a ride.

Thanks for the compliment. I heard the pleasure of watching her performance New Zealand, South Africa and Portugal. Every time the conditions got broken, got big got tough, got strong, Tom just got stronger. As a person he's also a fantastic world champion, one we can all respect and admire

This was one interview that I loved doing while it was happening. A real quality man. Great Kneelo too.

Thanks mate

Thanks for your kind words

Thanks for the kind words. I think the job of these interviews is to introduce the world to the characters in our sport. My hope is that when you finished watching the video that you feel you know the man (or woman) behind the action photographs and the trophies. Hence the title, Kneeboard Torque.

Owen will have to answer that question. This video, of course, is four years old. I'm sure he's gone through a lot of boards in that time. When he and the rest of the stars arrive in South Africa we will post updates on their equipment and their approaches.

He's gonna break some competitive hearts in the J-BAY contest. In the Open Division as well as Junior's.

Owen is on fire going into jbay surfed the wave pool with him yesterday and man has he improved can’t wait to see him tearing up jbay

Do you know if he is coming to the world titles at J-Bay? The event will be poorer if he is not competing

His always had thought provoking, interesting, controversial and sometimes mad as a hatter ideas. Got to love him.

I think the interview shows the Gavin that you are describing. Disappointed to hear that he won't make the World Titles in J-Bay due to injury.

Maybe not this time. I hear he is in a plastic boot, ankle injury from a severe wipe out. Pity

@@kneeboardtorque5971 oh that sucks hav at supers would be a fun watch!

Their trip to South Africa was eye opener it for them and us. A revolution in South African boards too

Thanks for the support

We hope to see him at the World Titles in Jeffreys Bay.

Grande evolução em J Bay

Por Que!

Thanks Gavin. That's good getting the opportunity to speak with these guys and present them to the broader world.

Thanks mate. More videos coming, interviews with stars both current and future. We all love a good surf video, but in the past I believe we were missing getting to know the person behind the board rider.

The sport is split into two very distinct opposition groups. On the plus side it does give you a burst of energy to get onto the waves. For me, the times you break a leash it's a easy swim in. On those long paddle outs, or paddles back to the point against a rip you're going to be glad you've got fins on. So my suggestion is use them, and only if for some reason you experience difficulty or a problem then try without.

Well the world is a village. Contact them, order one, pay and paddle

@@kneeboardtorque5971 one of these days I will add one to the collection! So many Kneeboards so little time.

Can you search for Nick hartigan on Facebook and throw the questions directly active there? Please. Otherwise it becomes a three-way broken down telephone conversation

Heavy takeoffs?
