…Lost Finds More A+ Clips On The Swiss Army Knife Of Surfboards

19 minutes of surfing that feels too good for YouTube.

…Lost’s emphasis on high-performance fishes, good music, and upper-middle class, suburban San Clemente teen partying has pervaded for a quarter-century now.

A professor once told me to “innoculate” my biases before making an argument.

I like Yago Dora’s surfing.

I think “Ciclo” belongs on the short list of “Greatest Surf Edits” of the 21st century.

His facility on a surfboard is akin to the Skate 3 avatar frolicking on the TV in my childhood home.

Give the man a joystick as sensitive as the sacred 5’5 x 19 1/4 fish and a high score is all but secured.

Your honor, I submit my Exhibit A.

But everything after Yago’s part is also divinely inspired — though the twerking scene depends upon your own personal moral predilections.

At Stab we are encouraged to avoid hyperbole these days — no “best’s”, or “amazing’s”, or “legendary’s”. But this clip made me want to surf. And it made me want to transfer my $USD to Matt Biolos in exchange for this surfboard as quickly as possible.

Personal highlights are: 2:17, 4:38, and the wiggle-tube at 18:21.

If you have 1/3rd of an hour free, take a gander.
