Craig Anderson - Surfing Feature

At the beginning Craig "Ando" Anderson was sitting pretty low on the pro surfer pecking order. Now, the 25 year old South African is one of the most recognisable free surfers in the world. A guy who oozes style, who makes every turn look sweet and effortless, the kind of guy who looks good just standing still on a wave, only to launch and land an obscene air to close it out.
We caught up with him in Hawaii, to talk about style, modern surfing and where this curious rise of his is heading.

His style and grace on a wave is undeniably unique and the fact that he does most of it on a twinie or a single fin blows my mind. His grass roots style shows that you can stay out of the limelight of competition and still be relevant. Favorite surfer hands down.

He is the essence of surfing!  Smooth efficient style that is under-rated by miles, especially in competitions!

Craig left
BLUEWATER BAY when he was 16(to move to OZ). We all started surfing together at Shellies our local break. So no he is not full blown Oz. His dad Rod was our chairman of lifesavinf clubm

You are what your accent is.  That was fully Australian!

annoys me that they edit the footage to be in slow motion

What happened with the colour and contrast on this one?? Terrible! Way overboard on the contrast making colours hopelessly saturated and synthetic looking. It's a pity coz his surfing is frikkin awesome!
