Matt Wilkinson rides rights in the Mentawais

Remember Matt Wilkinson’s clip, Going Left, three weeks ago? Well, this one’s called Going Right. It’s from the same Mentawais trip, ‘cept this time Wilko’s on his backhand. The waves are excellent. The surfing is excellent. And there really ain’t much else you need to know. Except that you can watch Going Left here.

“behind the 100s of serious up and coming kids.” more like 1000 s of seriously boring robots. The tour needs Wilko to be Wilko, fuck the tour needs more Wilkos . Thinking about the tour in 5 years time when Nike roll out their army of Kolohe n Medina clones with one hair on their chin, inbuilt jump ropes and stage fathers waist deep in the water using landing sticks to signal endless air revs. Look I want to see him do well, but with the quality of clips he’s been releasing lately he’s NOT going to disappear anytime soon. The boy is ripping..

One of the best & most consistent backhands going around! Focus son, FOCUS!!!!

wilko is so underated

Wilko you gotta stop having fun and surfing well, it goes against everything the ASP stands for and you’ll find yourself off the tour and pushing trolleys like Mr Reynolds, Chippa and Ando.

    you must be a fucking lunatic to think wilko will ever win a title or even a contest at the ct. you gotta be baked or something to believe that shit.

I think Wilko is where he should be, on the ‘CT. But he’s probably going to be one of those guys who takes a few years and then will just have an absolute cracker of a year, make the top ten or top five. I could be wrong. Maybe a little bit more focus wouldn’t go astray as well.

Yep such a good surfer should be right up the top of the rankings. I believe he will be knocked of the tour this year and it will be his wake up call to stop the gay circus act he made himself into and then come back on tour serious focused and fit.

Wilko’s backhand is tops.

    Crap comment because Wilko wants to be on tour and to win has said this in many articles. Dane doesn’t care,who knows about Ando couldn’t give rats arse if don’t see him surf again and chippa is well good to watch now and then.
    So yeah from the looks of the way Wilkos season is going it’s time to have less fun take the tour more seriously or disappear behind the 100s of fucking serious up and coming kids.

        So your saying we need more drugs and party boys on tour Conan get back to the 90s and so on. Fuck that I wish I was Clued in like all the young crew these days.
        All the partys are sick and fun and all the chicks AHH the chicks but before you know it your 30+ and looking back it was a waste of time.
        Surf and stay healthy kids it WILL catch up with you.
        Conan get your head out of the past.

          13.

          All those guys end up team managers. Party on boys and continue running the industry into the ground.

Epic… Except for the music…

A pleasure to watch that bloke. About time some of these pros put some clips up of their backhand. Although some of them are scared to I’d imagine. Good to see watch such a well rounded goofy give it some going right…

16.

you all talk like you know how it all works. Like you know these people personally. you dont know shit, in fact.

17.

he needs to take his freesurf mentality to contests. I bloody love Wilko.

18.

needs to be noticed more. maybe ditch rip curl

19.

He is totally high class all over, no lies.

whatta wanker, we pay money for this hippie, just so he can fuck off to the indo, get drunk and get hookers. i saw him in bali with two hookers everynight, all he did was get hookers and drinking beer, then hed surf and not even be able to pull off a round house, only does airs

doobie dude ……. seriously, whatz you’re problem with hookers ?
Most traveling men have needs ? The party girls serve an important role
that is critical to the success of the professional surfing tour (ASP)
Am I right ? ……. of course I am right.

The tour isn’t the tour without them :)

Honestly thought that was a bit average considering how good I’ve seen him surf snapper on his backhand, certainly not world champ material and I’m Australian. Sorry but there is just no way.
