Innovative wave entry technique on the east coast of Bali in May of this year. “The Dock” is a short film made in collaboration with Volcom and Stab Magazine. Noa Deane had this to say about the setup from an article in Stab Mag:
“It would just kill you if it hit you, yeah? What’s it weigh? Half a tonne? When it wears a wave on the head it kicks like a snake. Like, Balaram jumped up and went six feet in the air. Then he landed on the wire, so sketchy. It whips right at the end because it’s connected to a cable which adds extra tension.”
The floating plastic dock was 100 foot long and weighed a half ton, making it potentially deadly given the force behind a break like this. Do not try to recreate this, its obviously super duper dangerous.
