Remember the days when a flat spell actually meant not surfing? What with the advent and proliferation of wave pools, and alternatives like wake surfing (as displayed here by Sebastian Zietz, Josh Kerr, Adam Melling, and Sheldon Simkus), how often you get in the water is quickly becoming less dependent on how often Mother Nature produces. Now it’s how close you are to your local wave tank, or who you know that owns a boat.
If you’re Sebastian Zietz, you know not just a family man that owns a boat, you know pro surfer-slash-pro wakesurfer Josh Kerr who boasts a sponsorship deal with Tigé Boats. So what do you do during the Trestles wait period when the waves aren’t cranking? Train elsewhere.
This is the first in a new web series following Sebastian Zietz called Happily Stoked. Learn more here.
