Coolie kids: the new class
They’ve pretty much got the biggest shoes in the world to fill but nevertheless, these are the new contenders from Australia’s home of high performance surfing, the Gold Coast. And yes, Mitch Parkinson is a relative of Joel’s; cousin to be exact.
I swear finners and air reverses in shitty waves is getting soooo fucking old. That shit will never win a world title. Look at Kolohe andino. He has the best finner and air revos in the biz and he cant make it out of the second round on the dream tour. I’m just saying seeing finners and air reverses video seg after video seg is getting old.
those scouts at hurley sure get horny for a wide legged stance
im not even trying to be a hater on these guys at all… but it seems like that whole era of fanning, parko, hobgoods, irons bros and etc. were just way better in barrels, big waves and serious turns. not to mention they could boost in serious conditons. all the new guys are ever shown doing are finners in small beachbreak. you would all think they wouldve built on the previous generation. watch mick at burliegh in “fanning the fire” and u will kniw what i mean
unless you see them performed by a dane or mitch who smash out finners in bigger waves with style and power to spare
Gulp!!…. I mean they can all surf, but i only see Jack Freestone as a real future contender… look at the pedigree of Parko, Fanning.. all champions at a young age, only Jacks done anything out of that bunch…

he def don’t do style like his cuz
since when do waves on the Gold Coast suck? is that really all they could muster up?
Since a while, now…Remember the last quik comp with decent waves? Neither do i!
tell your Mates, the waves suck on the Gold coast…If you know any Brazzos tell them as well. Dbahs the only show in town and its spoken for already. You want waves? explore elsewhere, this place is ordinary nowadays. Mid to late nineties, the place was a twisting, spitting wave haven of pure joy. Those days are over.
True story.
Besides Noa, all i can see is flop , flop, flop, flop, an flop!
sounds like all you kooks dont like watching surf clips.

Yeah you’re right, just because they’re not as good as Parko and Mick we should just write them off
Well, shouldn’t we? I mean aren’t the new generation supposed to build on the foundation provided by the previous? They should be tearing up big waves on a whole new level, while maintaining their small wave act

Also Mitch came 2nd at the world u16s in France last year so he’ll probably do better in comps in the future than you think, no point comparing him to the older Cooly kids as they’re pretty much 2 of the top 20 surfers of all time…
Mitch Crews is brazillian….???
Yes, I am.
@ Geogre Clooney… I tihnk the “Fanning the Fire” section you’re thinking of was actually shot at Lennox – during the epic July swell of 2001. I think Mick was about 19 or 20 at the time and was fresh off the back of a WCT win as a wildcard at Bells (I wonder if any of the current wondergroms could pull that off? Espescially at Bells, a wave that demands power, finesse and well developed wave-reading skills.) To this day I still pump Grinspoon’s “Chemical Heart” while I’m suiting up for a good surf at Lennox, to psych up by bringing back images of Mick’s epic session from that movie!
I actually fast forward through this it was so boring! Better have a back up plan fellas…surfing is going backwards//sweet!! I hope it becomes unpopular next!!
I think these kids are legit, we have all become so desensitized from airs/finners because they have been in our faces for the last however many years in every clip you see.
And watching clips everyday will only enforce that. Truth is, if Mick did some of these airs in any of his video parts from back in the day we would be staring is disbelief at the tv. But the rail surfing/speed/turns, that is what sets him apart from almost anyone of any age.

No NIC[comment 23] no Mitch withholds the name Parkinson in esteem, a bunch of blow ins that act like fuckheads in the surf
awkward – this song was on lil hoss’s home movie.
Dunno guys I thought crews was pretty good mixing some nice carves with some progressive turns great clean style too.
