Whatever happened to the good ol’ days of rail-to-rail power surfing? The days when a wave would be demolished by a crippling man hack. Buckets of spray sent hurtling out the back. Conner Coffin remembers those days, even if he was just a wee grommet at the time. On a wave, the Santa Barbara surfer hearkens back to the days of Taylor Knox, Sunny Garcia or Pancho Sullivan. But he’s also well-versed in the new school as well.
In the latest clip from Young Wise Tails, Conner showcases his huge bag of tricks. Not only has Conner finessed the old school but he’s got the new, flashy above-the-lip stuff as well. Throw in some XXL footage from Hawaii and Conner proves that he’s one of the most well-rounded surfers out there.
