That is not old school(okay it is because it was bygone days) it’s fundamental ripping. Watch and learn. That was a mushy beach break . Not trestles. He was all over it.Smooth but pushing pushing so hard. I don’t care what year we are in now but show me a anyone that rip that shit up like that. Three pumps to an air? C’mon? Best thing about that guy ( other than his Surfing) was that he was some kind of ‘child prodigy’, that was actually a real person. That is bloody good surfing!
nick wood had something like the X factor or whatever.Unfortunately this video doesn't show him at the heavy ledging ,secret reef breaks he frequented.
Boards had great outlines, less con cave! and nobody knew how many frigging litres. Rails were usually thicker . If you knew how long you wanted a surf board and how wide, and how thick,- how wide you wanted the nose and tail., you were good to go. Progress is great, but a Phillips head is essential in your toolbox
That tail slide… and rebounds…playing with mush but making it look like so much fun , making it look easy. “ Let’s change direction” Meanwhile he is free flowing whilst confirming to the worst criteria ever. No wonder he was never a world champion .

Old school. Surf has evolved a lot

What happened to him?
Too many bongs, busted for possession of hash, grew to tall and to quick and busted his knees

Less rocker was the main thing, not lack of concaves
Nicky ripping man
