Nothing like Andy, Andy was unpredictable and attacked the wave with speed and wrecklass abandon and wasn't afraid to fall, he used parts of the wave that no one used. Ethan is very measured and somewhat predictable their are elements of his style and body placement that are similar to Andy but Ethan is a much more safer and somewhat watered down version, great surfer.
@@jaycee571 I feel Ethan is completely focused on and molding his surfing for contests, yet Ethan does possess a lot of the aspect's of A.I. 's surfing that you mention here, but does rarely busts them out.
He does amazing airs. Watch the El Salvador freesurf video I made from 2022, he does the craziest high speed slob grab revert and pulls it clean. Ewing is far from one dimensional. He rarely shows his strong air game I believe because the judging criteria generally rewards big carves over airs and he is concentrated on the judging criteria. Thay may change though with more performances like Yago Doras here in El Sal a couple weeks ago! Thanks for the comment and I can see how it would seem that way watching from a distance.
0:53 I really think Ethan got ripped off at Trestles in 2023.. Toledo won because he did lthe whoop-dee-doos but Ethan’s rail turns and raw power in that heat was insanely better surfing.

Thanks for posting la Libertad. Brought back alot of memories when I was there in the 70's with no people. just us and 6' plus waves day after day.
This video is fantastic, it reveals the talent and magic of this wave, save El Salvador.
Love the music. I added them on Spotify. Thanks
The lady featuring in the foreground at 1:52 is shredding HARD!
Joanne Defay, video coming soon!
This video is unreal when you turn the sound off
Not everyone likes Aussie Rock!
This dude is the closest I’ve seen to AI and Curren style of surfing, REAL SURFING NOT JUST AIR ACROBATICS
Why? Like Andy Irons. Similar.
I see that for sure.

Homelander can surf?
While his turns are unmatched, he has no airgame. Airgame = progression.
Without it, you are 1 dimensional, and that doesnt win contests.

Ethan Ewing is the new Ben Gravy
🤣 Please explain! Those two could not be further apart on the scale of ripping surfers.

Agree 100%. It amazes me that points aren't deducted for double/tripe/quadruple pump bottom turns.
@ I would like to see those pump bottom turn things go away too!
