70’s North Shore standout Larry Bertlemann. Known for his low, compact turns and explosive above the lip “Larry-als,” He has been credited by the Dogtown crew as the single most influential person on their skating. When those guys were sinking into their boards on concrete curves, doing laybacks or looking to rise above the lip of their pool they were thinking of Larry. This clip provides a window into the future of surfing and skateboarding from that time period as he puts his “stinger” design shortboard through its paces.
This is a video of a March river surfing session in Kananaskis Alberta. Water temperature near zero as the water was snow or ice the day before.

This wave is called the Mountain, because when your on the wave your eyes look straight up the river valley to a spectacular Mountain view. James and Matt ripped it up, probably mostly trying to stay warm!
