Jack Elliott's Santa Barbara Adventure 
Nice sequence! Dane’s turns are on a whole other level, never get tired of watching/seeing these huge gouges. Even more impressive is when he can recover from something like this and go on to follow it up with a few more big moves. Watching him surf is a treat… it shows what is possible… for some anyway. Just leaves me in awe knowing I’d be lucky to have one turn in my entire surfing life look like that.
Check out his rail to rail turns on this clip over on Kew’s site:
