Touching 3rd Gear ... Part I

Jumping from 2nd to 3rd coming off the bottom...

...and running across the wall in 3rd gear. Notice how far forward the rider's body is, and how little of the mat is touching the water at this point.

Using the 3rd gear speed to come off the bottom again...

...but redirecting the energy into a lip bounce, which is used as a stalling manuever to drop from 3rd back into 2nd as the wave slows.
