IMO. That is WAY more impressive then a bunch of inverts. Awesome style.

As I recall is that dude not in his mid 50s? I love that, more young kids should watch that video. Whenever I am teaching lessons all the kids want to learn are rolls and flips. Like having a coach in the boat will instantly help them land a flip. They get frustrated when I explain that we are going to do 1 wake 180 drills, they see that as pointless usually, not understanding the building blocks.

This is pretty sick. Rolling into what would normally be rollers for a triple up (cupped wakes) and getting booted off them outside the wake!

Here is another really fun video of Kim Yong killing it behind a little boat/wake.

That's what riding is all about. Being fluid

The board control he has is incredible. Best clip I've seen in a long time.

Andy,

Toshimitsu "Zucky" Suzuki is an older rider, but I don't believe he's in his mid 50's. I remember hearing that he started doing only surface tricks & hits off the rollers because his knees were shot and couldn't handle the hard impacts anymore off the wake.

He's definitely one of Japan's original riders and still runs a popular wakeboard school / towing service over there.

Really a fun rider to watch, and you can keep up with him on FB. He posts usually everyday about something from his riding spot.

Here's Zucky's latest video edit from today at his home spot in Japan.
