Did you even make the wave if you didn’t claim it? In a new video from BEEFS T.V., daring Lower Trestles surfers push the very limits of human performance to make sure their waves are etched in the annals of surf history. Top claims, bottom claims, beach claims, multiple claims on one wave – its all here.
Then, somewhere in between a ripping grom and a literal jumping shark, a truly magical moment happens. In one stunning moment of transcendent innovation, a pink-rashguarded, helmeted soft-boarder changes everything.
He stands on the beach with his arms aloft, leashed to a board lying in the dry sand. He has done the impossible. He has claimed a wave before even setting foot in the ocean.
With this magnificent display of daring and bravado, the “athlete” manages to finally free the claim from the tyranny of the ocean. By wresting his celebration from Poseidon’s grasp, he single handedly transforms the claim from simple reaction, to art form that is applicable almost anywhere.
