Yesterday, we ran a little piece showing West Oz screwfoot, Ry Craike taking it hard. Somewhere. Probably somewhere up in West Oz.
That got me thinking. Remember this little prodigy? This guy was the next big thing in aerials and then he just slipped off the radar. I suppose that's easy to do in Western Australia. It's a pretty big place. But, our boy has been quietly going about his own thing.
While we're busy fixated on one Dane Reynolds, on the other side of the world, on the other side of his feet, Ry has been living the free surfing dream and doing just fine at it.
Except for this:
He's not doing so well there.
Here it is from a different angle:
That's how you snap your knee ligaments and get to stay dry for the next 3 months. On your first wave at Gnarloo. Ahem...first wave of the season, at Gnarloo. That place is mental
So, seeing as this blessed country is calling tomorrow a public holiday (no idea which one), and we've planned a multi day hike for the rest of the week, this post concludes our brief, impromptu, Ry Craike Beat-down week.
And do check out http://rycraike.com/. It's well worth it and the guy really rips.
