Phew....... I smell Trolls??. Nitehawk are you saying Mick Fanning didn't deserve that higher score for doing full rail power turns compared to skateboard moves? Are you seriously saying that Keahi hasn't the potential to be a world champion or do you just have a hidden agenda because PT prefers downwinders and flatwater supping to surfing. Poor form whichever gutless wonder you are hiding behind a fake avatar. Keahi's board is only about eighteen inches longer than most of the shortboards that are being ridden at the moment and by the way PT does more work for SUPPING in a week than most do in a lifetime and is entitled to his valid opinion!!! I didn't detect any maliciousness in PT's comment and he was talking about judging criteria. I have no doubt you are a world champion at dropping in to forums and probably waves and generally being a supercilious, flatulent bitter old man. I should know because I am one.


Well,where to start.
First of all I'm not a troll,you can call me Nitehawk as Nighthawk was already taken.
Since you admitted that you're a supercilious,flatulent,bitter old man...thats not a troll you smell,it's you.
ha ha just kidding,(you probably smell like mothballs)again I'm kidding.

I enjoy Mick's rail power turns as much as the next bloke,they're awesome.
But so are what you term as "skateboard"moves.Love them too.
Since skateboarding and surfing are somewhat intertwined I don't see the need to discriminate.But whats that got to do with this vid.

I don't know where you got the idea that I suggested Keahi doesn't have the potential to be a world champ.He already is 2012 KSP world champ(that is what I meant)and most certainly to go a very long way in SUP as well.

You are right though that people are entitled to a valid opinion.Thats what motivated me to make my very first post.It wasn't a personnel attack at PTSUP.
I thoroughly enjoyed the vid so much it gave a little SUP wood and got me frothing to go for a surf(thanks for posting Keahi by the way).When I read the remark about Mick and the ASP I thought,"WTF has judging criteria got to do with a vid of a guy free surfing on a SUP".Is this tall poppy syndrome?Maybe we could start another topic on the subject.

I myself would love to do just one of the manoeuvres Keahi does.
If I put one of these ""at the end of my "Knees" comment maybe you would've taken it differently...my mistake.
I don't think I deserved to be called a "gutless wonder" though,just because you're very confused by my avatar and my comment being my first post.
You sound a bit malicious.It wasn't my intention to knock c*#k out of anyones mouth.

Anyway in conclusion I think Mick rips,skateboards rip,rail turns rip,sliding turns rip and Keahi rips.Oh and you rip too Leroy...stinky bitter old man farts that is(once more I'm kidding...mothballs)and you read way to much into things.

Have a nice day...

Much better explanation Mr NiteHawk. I apologise if you are not a gutless wonder but the way the avatar and your country of origin was presented is very like the MO of forum trolls. And yes that comment seemed like it might have personal connotations and it seems we agree on most other things. Surfing was and is my first love and riding a sup still gives me the opportunity to ride waves. I'm jealous of guys that can do "the Skateboard moves" but understand why they aren't scored as highly, which I think was the point of the original post. I'm going to have a shower now and wash the smell of mothballs off before I go down and cash my pension cheque on anti flatulence medication. Maybe you should do the same?? Just kidding
