Professional skimboarder Brad Domke took the simple beach sport to high-adrenaline heights earlier this month after he was filmed effortlessly gliding down a 60-foot wall of water in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
As the swell cascades over him and crashes down, Brad re-emerges still standing on his small fin-less board. He then performs a quick trick in the air and victoriously flips into the ocean after his unprecedented run. (GIF gfycat.com:RepentantVioletChimneyswift)
To perform the impressive stunt, Brad was towed into the breaking wave by a partner driving a jet ski. And as anyone who ever surfed can tell you, it's almost impossible to steer or hold the edge of a wave without a fin.
Although the ride is believed to be record-setting, it has not been made official yet. Still, pretty impressive.
