Last week I met with Pro Surfer Nathan "the Hog" Hedge and we had a super session!
Nathan Hedge has been sponsored by Rip Curl for nearly 18years and has been sponsored since he was a grommet. He has never heard of the Slackline up until now and he was frothing on it!
We met down at burleigh and I gave hive his new line, I gave him the Hoplight as it would be best suited to throw in his board bag, and as he travels the world surfing, doesent need the extra weight of a ratchet in his bag! I gave him the run down on how to use it and he picked it up really quickly.
HIs first few tries were like the typical first try, shaky and not very long. He had a strong tendency to turn his shoulders and stand like he was on his surfboard, which I encouraged.
Within half an hour of coaching him through the process he was cranking on it and was very impressed.
He is off to Canada in November so we are going to get in a few sessions before he goes and he will carve it up over there.
Go Hedge Hog!!!!!
