i dont understand...Why does Australia have an "invert style"? an invert is an invert. doesnt matter how you do them. Mmm, mabye South Africa should get their own invert style?

hahhahha this is a P**S funny string.
Ian... think i have another pic similar to this, same pose, will try find it. Other than that try emulating Hubb style, cos then we have a dead ringer.
Rory... you are right there is no board and he is playing tennis.
PI... Boere trekker (i mean treffers) Nomer 5 bru, it has Kurt and loads of other hard core sakkie freaks. Next Vid bru, must use it for the soundtrack.
Wade... 1 sandwegde short from your golf cart bru.. ahoy.

that is a perfect özie"style its just due to continental drift and the coriolis force that pulled the photographer precisely 2.68 degreese south south easterly of the central focus point giving you the illusion of a skew leg his leg is actually dead straight and what you seem to call ozzie style.........it also gives you the illusion of a board ...he actually has no board...........see what mistakes you guys can make with an untrained eye!

Dont get me wrong, personally im all for the Ozzie style! ;)
But i can still appreciate guys that rip, with their own style.

All im saying is dont hassle guys coz they dont ride like you want them to.. They can surf how they choose, rather focus on your own style and in perfecting it to what you see as good opposed to worrying about other peoples style ;)

peace, im out

Agreed Marthinus! "Surf like you want to, not how other people would want you to." And most importantly HAVE FUN and do it for yourself and your own enjoyment, not for anyone else. :)

here we go again...

Agreed with Wade... Maybe u should just stay out of the water... HAHAHAH - What a joke..

Every guy has a different style,
Peoples taste in style differ, some might think that inverting with your legs open is the way forward where as someone else might think inverting with a style like Ian here is the way it should be done..

Who cares as long as it looks good to you, the one doing the maneuver.

Surf like you want to, not how other people would want you to.

ian you suck.stop bodyboarding.that leg is ridiculous dude.serious.an abomination.i dont ever want to see you in t the water again.period.full stop.
MichelleDanielsMichelle Daniels

I thought his leg was tweaked as maybe the pic was not shot at the apex of the maneuver and he is quickly going prone for the landing? The tweaked leg is apart of the momentum of the transition? Benefit of the doubt, hey! and appreciating the skill level of a talented rider :)
SPKSimon Kotze

Yes, How dare u tweak ur leg while launching a sick, clean invert...unnaccetable...death by stoning in my book.
peterbeePeter Brandt
23rd January 2008 15:39
I thought it was twisted like that in anticipation of how it was gonna get slammed on landing... sick air, Ian!

hey ian, bro this is a good launch, but that right leg is in one hellof an awkward position, it looks like last second you really trying hard to get ur body in an inverted position.
