Paul Roach - Bodyboarding Enough Said

The section that changed it all. Paul Roach's notorious profile from the Scott Carter directed 'Enough Said, released 1993. No one had seen Dropknee like this before. Roach's speed, precision and flawless style were on another level. Factor into that his newfound 'Throw Tail' moves and you had something truly revolutionary.


  


 Just to put into context how ahead of it's time this clip was - Try imagining that this clip is released now, exactly as it was then, only you've never heard of Paul Roach. Your reaction now would be exactly as it was back then - this kid would be the best DKer on Earth now.

Nothing about the surfin' is dated, or 'of it's time'. It's just pure genius. "One of these days we're gonna stop spinnin', and you know what's gonna happen then...?"
