      Agree. Like how these guys just surf the wave and just bang every turn as the wave presents an opportunity- not like the guys today who just fly down the line looking for a section to do their flowery ballerina spins.

      @@patrickgarvey146 pretty good point. They were the combination of all things good. Style inspired by the smooth, stylish power surfers of the 80s and the radical new tricks of the 90s. They knew what was weak and what was power. They knew what looked good and how to avoid the “gump” style.

    Funny thing is, I saw the two of them together very close, and they don't know it. I was a teenager doing a summer camp at Christophe Reinhart house, in Bidart, and the last morning, the two brothers came to look at the waves from his house on the top of the hill. We were watching them watching the waves from behind like stalkers. I met them but they didn't meet me, we saw only their (not so large) back, ha ha!! It's like all the times when you "almost make it", story of my life
