I presume its a shorter version of this one: http://www.driven.co.nz/news/lifestyle/robbie-maddison-surfs-dirt-bike-in-tahiti/

I think I'll have bad dreams after that - getting chased by a massive wave on my bike :baby:. Not sure what happens when the bike stalls or you fall off - staying on the surface seems to depend on forward motion. Opens up lots of new possibilities though (possible ways to die expensively that is ;)

That man deserves a beer.

Does he win a surfing award or a motocross award?

That depends greatly on whether he checked his gas tank was full before setting out.

I wonder if Guy Martin has seen this?

Awesome!!! Even with those little skis, if he lets up for a split second, he is going in the drink and the bike to the bottom.

Not surprised. MX gear would be like wearing dive weights.

He talks about it on the article I posted up. Insane prep and an even nuttier stunt, but so cool.
