Wardo’s not weary

This two minutes worth of Chris Ward will have you thinking he’s a long way off slowing down. Smooth, big and plenty o’ pop at his ol’ stomping ground, Lowers.

Still got it

Hey guess what… none of your opinions fukin matter. He makes a living surfing, you don’t.

3.

How easy does he make it look! This is fucking epic! His airs make the world tour like a bunch of pussies.

4.

agreed, not much flexibility, and average trimming
moderately good, not great, and mostly average by todays’ standards: reminds me of comparing beschen to slater at one point -there wasn’t any growth after a certain year went by. you could tell slater maintained a high level of flexibility and wave accumen and the other had given up in frustration and just does the one trick pony move.

you might find a few prison inmate buddies on here that support his cause, but im not buying into the hype of what once was

let it go son??Clearly advice you should take on your obvious chronic masto problem

    take your shit mouth and shove it ass!and get use to more ward schooling guys

6.

Still got it

Ha, ha, ha you guys are f**ken kooks…c.w would smoke most all of the top 32 in any size surf. His style is 50 times better than kolohe or dane

8.

sure better than koloheeeeeee but no where even near dane…not even close!

9.

wardo is sick no doubt about it. Yeah the guy can’t do a proper finner, but he punts like a mad man and pulls into barrels with the best of them. I would rather ride the tube like him than throw a new school finner.

10.

Wardo is smooth as silk. So much better than watching the new kids do spazzy, ugly air reverses.

11.

He has slowed a bit, is off the pace from the elite top pros, but the smooth style, big airs, power rail work and cat like tube riding remain. He actually got the cover of SURFING mag in Oct ’96, shot by Larry “Flame” Moore, doing a Backside turn that was hearlalded as ground breaking and unheard of at the time. Its now referred to as a B.Side “finner” Its pretty much the same turn that Dane and JW do today. 16 years ago. Ask dane who his fave surfers and video sections of all time are…Wards on the top 5 in both guys.
Look it up.

12.

wardo doesnt give a fuck, he wont surf for a month then go out and kill it like this clip shows. Hes your favorite pros favorite pro

13.

maybe im just blind here, but he isn’t transitioning his airs well. his timing seems a little off. im not bashing the guy, but seriously with guys like geiselman, chippa, kerr, john john, and medina, how do you justify this guy anymore than better than average, not great, but certainly not one of the best…?

don’t reference back to yesteryear.. cause thats what this seems to be about, a bunch of fanboys caught up in a concept.

14.

Gargelmore,
Curren isnt one of the best anymore either. Still fun to watch though, and still , definitely still more than just “better than average” He is riding a 5’6” by the way.

This video was a real treat it has been awhile since I saw a saw a new wardo clip

17.

never have liked wardos style, surfs like the hunch back of notre dame. But boy can he snort some cocaine.

This song is fucking horrible too.

    18.

    china white is heroin you mongoloided chicken dick

19.

yeah white china is right. Ive seen wardo, hes a snow plow. In Costa Rica he was snortin keys

    20.

    yeah but your the fag however this is your just jeolous cause ward pulls hot chicks and you dont faggot!

21.

Where’s War(d)?

22.

Everyone here has a fair statement…

O.K, so he aint the greatest of all time, but he sure deserves recognition in our sport.

The guys who are critiquing his style and technique are overlooking his raw talent and the guys who are defending him realise just how hard it is to make surfing look so damn effortless.

Look up 5’5″ x 19 1/4″ REDUX – One of the most relevant, prolific and important surf films ever made, then rethink your above statement.

wavestorm, put the cock down before you try to type something. Also try reading what your writing before you post it.

24.

id way rather watch wardo than anotherone of the “upcomers” doing the indentical finners at some beach break in the wannabe artsy self prmotion web clip. ward is a legend and there is no reason he should still be at the cap of progression. However, watch him in any barrels over 5+ and i doubt there are any more than 5 guys who can match his ease and style.

surfs like a retarded caterpillar wriggling all over the wave.

27.

Ok, seems you guys are forgetting this is just from one session, and, that the last wave was a ten point ride, you also have to take into account that this is Wardo, so it’s more than likely he’s comin’ down from a heavy night.
Which in my opinion is what wardo does, and why hes such a legend, he rips so hard and im suprised he’s punting so massively, i was there this session with my boys. they were out in the line up watching wardo blow, and hes so athletic, his legs and buns are so toned so i could tell he’s still training.
as for inmates giving him respect, well they are all dumb fucks, and im sure this legend is out there to ride vertical waves doing vertical blasts, not worry about what the ‘inmates’ are thinking.
sorry but had to share the truth, kooks.

28.

that was the worst piece of shit i ever seen from a pro surfer asssssssss!

29.

soooooooo assssssssss no more for him

30.

hey wavestorm fuck you kook
