Paddling out into double overhead, steamrolling heavy waves at a world class point, on a wafer thin shoulder height finless board with NO legrope. AND THEN absolutely tearing a frickin new one for the place. Now, that is the way you do it, when you are a 57 year old monster legend. A legend mind you, that is so far out of the lime;light , and so unassuming, that most young surfers, would not even know who he is.
psynapsurfa technoshaman probably the most poignant description I have heard of what this demigod does (and makes it look effortless no less). It's just a shame that the modern surf scene is a corporate mono-crop of seemingly identical Volcom-sticker'ed Thrusters---and therefore young surfers don't even get the chance to be exposed to the innumerable different ways of surfing. We need more Derek Hynds of the world to teach the groms about art.
im 18 years old and due to my dads endless collection of surfers journals I'm very aware who derek hynd is. one spread he was getting barreled on a wave that was about 4 feet tall and thicker than it was tall he was on like some tiny fish just charging and actually coming out of these crazy fast and shore break like barrels. ever since then I've had an appreciation for an alternative style of surfing but recently i broke my arm I've been out of the water for 10 weeks or something and its really opened my mind to what i want to do on a wave when i get back in the water and it definitely helped me fully accept and understand that there are no restrictions and you can have just as much fun if not more fun than on a thruster squash tail with single to double concave standard ripper board.
All this from a 57 year old. What a legend. I love Kelly, I love Occi, I love Curren, I love Jon Jon, and Laird, and Fanning, and Wilko, and others, but before them all, I loved Michael Peterson, Mark Richards, Terry Fitz, and This guy, Deryk Hynd. Deryk is absolutely on fire. He is the ultimate alchemist, turning all he touches to gold. Metaphysical gold that is...
So glad I clicked on this video.....those deep, hand on rail bottom turns and glides up to the top of the wave are mesmerizing...Derek Hynd, a guy my age, quietly revolutonizing surfing....somewhere.
Sick moves!! Especially the part where he slides into a switch foot stance and glides into a cutback!! That is just out of this world man!!! Fucking awesome!!
Love how how that board can just float everywhere on the wave! Without the bite of the fins, it's a new appreciation of choosing your line and overall positioning. Seems like it's gotta be on a point break...
First seen this done circa 1969 by the late Twizzle at Manly beach Australia using a half fin set 30 inches up from the normal fin position. Amazing stuff
This footage was shot by surf cinematographer Jon Frank with music written by Richard Tognetti. Frank and Tognetti's latest music and surfing collaboration The Reef tours Australia nationally in 2013.
This is the future of surfing... just like "getting air" was .Total freedom from constraint brings a new dimension .Still,we must respect what came before .
This guy is Derek Hynd, Newport beach au. Ex Aussie pro surfer from the early 80s. He lost 1 eye in a surfing accident. This guy has always been a stand out... Type in Derek Hynd Jefferys Bay

I'm pretty sure he only has 1 eye to boot
As a younger guy I find it crazy that people don't know Derek 😅 this guys 100% my favourite person on a board and his story is so sick!

Kiddies, that is what wave riding genius looks like.

This is a totally new way of surfing, and Derek is the master of it.
Sick moves!! Especially the part where he slides into a switch foot stance and glides into a cutback!! That is just out of this world man!!! Fucking awesome!!
Same Canvas, but an extremely unique artist . Very cool to see waves ridden that way. PROPS to @derekhynd !
Beautiful, original lines done at speed and in good-sized waves: very, very nice!
This guy is pure joy to watch :) The spot is mythical and the size more than respectable... but add a finless board??? wow!! Thanks for sharing!
the way he flows on the wave! awesome
沒有尾舵的衝浪，太神了OMG🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Just enjoying it for the pure fun of wave riding. That's what it's all about.

beautiful
what a talent
i could watch this over and over. Hynd makes it happen! this soundtrack is rad too.
First seen this done circa 1969 by the late Twizzle at Manly beach Australia using a half fin set 30 inches up from the normal fin position.
Amazing stuff
best surf session ever!
Derek, light years ahead, new moves??
But still surfing on the wave, love it!
Like to see what that board looks like?
trying to figure this out...interesting foot placement near the rail on turns, what a squat master...
wwwooww, thats amazing, this is the type of surfing i like seeing in videos. much respect to him
he is a genius lunatic. may he live forever. how can someone pull off a quadruple (or more) spin and finish it with a floater/tube combo. Nutter.
