When the waves get huge He paddles out with both boards and does step-offs from the SUP onto the alaia. It's weird, its wonderful, it's very, very gnarley. Check out the tubes he gets on a finless plank of wood that's about a quarter inch thick! Fred is an amazing waterman doing some unbelievable things in the waves so keep him on your radar.
