By far and away the most stylish surfer on the tour if not the world. He has a lot more to show the judges than anyone in the race. A complete dish to bring to the table...destined to be a world champion. Just a matter of time.
@@ryanlowe988 I think it has more to do with how clean he keeps his rails and how well he keeps his body positioned over his board. It allows him to sweep through carves. This paired with clean rails make for a very aesthetically pleasing style of surfing
@@ryanlowe988 Really easy -- he doesn't hop between turns, he is not in a wide, poo stance, he accelerates using his legs and not hopping, and he generates additional speed by board placement and staying in the pocket. Lastly, his knees, his arms, his hands, are all working together towards each movement and turn. Curren had phenomenal style. So did Frankie Oberholzer. So did Phil Edwards. All of it comes back to how to smoothly and effortlessly link turns in connection with the wave. Ethan has it in a way that no one on tour has it, and that includes JJF (who, btw, has an awkward left arm and gets stiff at times and hops).
I know this is a subjective statement, but I think this kid is the best rail surfer in the world right now. His flow and the way he connects maneuvers, its just poetry in motion. That kind of style is just god given, its parko-esk or like AI.
One day mid eighties I was surfing uppers, i had spotted an inside left just going off, on my twinfin WOGS i began hitting the left lips hard, right over the river rocks in right in front of the tressles dead center. Tired I pulled into the beach on one and popped up on the sand to be approached by a hippy in shorts who said "I saw you surfing that inside left and shot a cpl rolls of film of you", I said really? He said tell me your address and I'll send you the proofs. I gave him my address, and about 7 days later I had the 3x5s and the negs. I did ask him why'd he taken pics of me, he said I'm so and so with surfer magazine! Who ever he was I'll say he knew good surfing when he saw it...

Been a long discussion in the local parking lot about style. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on what makes him stylish?
@@ryanlowe988 you can’t be serious🤦🏼♂️

Rail? No. That’d still be Dane.
Imagine dropping in on Ethan Ewing and being like “he’s not gonna make that”
Love his style, and that he keeps his air game to the minimum
@ 3:16 I like the "look how fast that guy surfs" from the dude on the beach
So sickk
The style sensei
What tripod do you use?
You have griffin colapinto as the thumbnail not Ethan
🤤surfing as its finest - longing this after poo stance became a thing recently, which hurts my eye
