Excellent interview, Gigs and Tom. I remember Tom in Portugal, always getting into the best waves in his heat--made him impossible to beat! Looking forward to seeing you rip at JBay!
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
Sideways Tom! So rad that you won that bru. What Gigs and all other kneeboarders perhaps don’t know is that Gary Kingma is the most talented kneeboarder that ever existed . Obviously he went in other directions , but believe me he was a sight to behold at kalk bay and I’m sure anywhere he ever paddled out. George Greenough pioneered. Gary Kingma was the master. But where’s Bobcat ? Because he also has Mojo on par with the gravitas of Gary in proper waves. Plus no one can forget the Playground parties back in the day. You holding the torch now bru.
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.
