All kinds of wacky stuff for the Clips of the Day. We've got fake waves in Wyoming, real waves in Indo, and some real surfing by Mitch Coleborn who proves you don't need to be on tour to be considered one of the best.
First up is Volcom team rider Alex Gray visiting fellow team rider Bryan Iguchi in Wyoming. Bryan isn't a Volcom surf team rider but rather on the snowboarding team, but he can hold his own in the waves (got that Todd Richards thing going on). They don't mention where this wave in Wyoming is but it's reminiscent of the Snake River in Wyoming that the Body Glove team visited back in the 80's; I'm still having Jim Hogan flashbacks. Looks super fun out there- especially since it's a novelty wave- and instead of watching out for sharks, you watch out for whitewater rafters. Awesome.
It must be Volcom day on the North County Surf blog as the next clip is from super-goofyfoot Mitch Coleborn. There was an article in the surf mags a couple years back claiming Mitch was one of the best surfers in the world even though he wasn't on tour- which is a pretty big claim if your name isn't Dane Reynolds. Then Mitch entered the Volcom Fiji Pro a couple years ago and took down some pretty big names in the comp. Then he backed it up this year by taking down a couple more big names. So Mitch has been surfing Indo lately and put together the clip above. And he absolutely blows up with the best of them.
Speaking of the best of them, the Oakley Bali Pro wrapped up a few weeks ago and Oakley put together a web clip highlighting some of the freesurfs before and after the heats. Good stuff from Kolohe, John John, Nat, and Jordy. Such a rippable wave.
