A Thirteen-year-old surfs Shipsterns

This is almost unreasonable. A kid, who’s been a teenager for less than a year, taking the Shipsterns staircase and standing inside the garage. Riley Laing is now the youngest surfer ever to charge Tasmania’s most notorious. Sure, it ain’t Shipsterns as big as it gets, but this is as good an indicator as any that Riley will one day stand on the XXL Awards podium and wave to his adoring public. Please accept our preemptive applause.

Who is overhyping this? Kid has balls and is killing it. I’d love to see videos of you guys at 13, probably no where near this. You can say overhyped and its lame if you post a link to a vid of you charging shipsterns.

ok, so my boys are PADDELING into slabs bigger than this, and they are younger than this rich boy whos obviously just been graced with knowing the right people. damn kooks shouldnt even give him a tow rope thats just cheating.
Hell if i had a camera like this and i knew the right kinda people there woulde be clips of my boys goin up daily on this website. damn.

    How is he a rich boy? He is sponsored and was probably given the opportunity through older guys or billabong. Get a camera and get videos of your boys up. They too will get sponsored and be given the same opportunity this kid has. Sounds like they are ripping.
