CREATIVE Destruction, Chapter 6.2. The much anticipated main event, bombing Palikir Pass.

When this session went down the surf newswire went haywire, emails burning with superlatives and stills backing it up. Unusually for our interconnected world its taken weeks for the video to drop, almost a lifetime ago by web standards.

Fortunately it doesn't disappoint. "The wave itself is probably just as good as it gets." Said Taj "It's just like those little cartoon drawings you draw when you're in school. Just perfect right-hand peeling barrels."

Yet again the CD boys have sprinkled their production magic on a session which despite needing no gimmicks is presented in a refreshing manner, demanding you sit-up and take notice.

"The whole thought process was to play music to the surfing instead of edit the surfing to the music" Said Wade.

wonder what size stick was the funnest and fastest for that wave?!

Hendrix did like surf music. I believe that the lyric he's referring to was after a famous surf musician had died and Hendrix was bummed so he said surf music had died also. Or something like that. At least that's what it says in 'The History of Surfing'.

Oh my God I think you've just invented a new genre. Tube core... Damn, I normally mute 98% of surfing vids, playing everything from Metal to Beethoven instead, this one though, was impeccably awesome.

sorry boys i thought the guitar far from matched the madness of getting pitted in a monster with such power.i had to hit mute. big shame as the surfing is insane and hats off to the boys for charging so hard...you should have called ben harper.. but this is just my opinion :)

Fair do's, the swell WAS fuckin HUGE, but I just think that I'm probably never going to hear a sound that awesome made by a guitar ever again. But like I say, that's just my opinion.

great footage but still not keen on the music. It suited the intro clip and first wave but the rest was monotonous, it needs to move on. Just gonna put it out there... Bodyboard vids have much better soundtracks than surf vids.

Wait....how do madness, power, and Ben Harper go together? Disagree bro.

Ben Harper? Seriously? This is awesome. Ben Harper... not so much.

Gotta say I agree with Mr Snook on this one. The playing was great, but given what they were saying about trying out metal, blues, psychedelic etc I think it was a bit monotonous; there was so much scope for mixing the style of playing up a bit and I think they missed a trick there. Great concept though and hats off to them for always trying something different.

P-Pass, what a dream wave... I wish I had the balls and skills to surf it. Respect to those out there.

What a Fkn Barrelfest! Buckin' and chuckin' swell, lined-up, ropin', warpin', windin' wave complete with clamshell dumpin' sections, chandelier lips, and very hollow. You meatsacks really got spoiled from that session. You'll be talkin' about that one when you're old men.

Younes457 days ago +1 Rating Rate Positive Rate Negative
If it can help you, i spent the whole morning looking for surf but it was shitty everywhere... Sometimes staying in the office is better than running like a headless chicken starving for surf and finding nothing...
