Adam Dumas' Dropknee Destruction Impresses & Unidentified Redheaded Riders (along with Kim Magin and Michael Birch) Go the Distance at the Wedge

 Adam Dumas was executing very swift and interesting maneuvering today.  From late drops on the forehand dropknee stance, to smacking oncoming sections in an non-traditional fashion, he impressed me with his riding today.  It wasn't necessarily what he landed that inspired and intrigued me as much as what he didn't.  Sometimes, seeing an uncompleted maneuver--that is a radical departure from the norm--is far more interesting than seeing someone ride out of the typical redirection.  While I posted a standard backside dropknee shot for this blog post, see some photographic evidence of his unique approach to the Wedge in the upcoming issue of the magazine project...
 One redhead (riding a bodyboard) wheelie-stalls...
...while another (a highly skilled skimboarder) steps on the gas.
All the while, Kim Magin (above) and Michael Birch (below) were busy demonstrating--through their wave selection--how the Wedge earned it's name.  (For the uninitiated, note the pointy peak of each wave, forming a more-or-less wedge-shaped breaker in both cases.)
