This is why the ancient Polynesians surfed on water, not houses

Found with minimum commentary at Daily Stoke, who reposted it from Backcountry.com's blog.

I'm curious what his plan was. I mean, he gets to the edge of the roof and ... what, exactly? The ugliest drop-in of all time?

 

Is that Angola?

 

That is beyond awesome. It's, like, awesomer.

 

Not by my logic.

 

Somebody who really hates him said this will have him ready for Mavericks?

 

Why, yes. Yes, it would. Or not.



People have died there, so in his case I would say not.

FAIL.

 

I was living in Hawaii when Foo died. As you would imagine, the local interest was high. The best piece I saw, though, was Krakauer's:

Good question. Looks like one of those deals where if everything went perfectly, he might just have a broken femur.

 

Maybe he was expecting the weight to be distributed throughout the board when he landed. It's even short for a one-story, not that high. I've jumped from that high plenty of times back when I was young and stupid.

 

I wouldn't be dumb enough to try it on a tin roof.

 

Leaving the board behind is never a good thing.
