No wave ever goes wasted. That’s true even about waves that nobody rides. When they crash, the ocean takes them up to throw them at the shores again.

Still, it can be said that Australian waveskier Ben John makes the most of every wave he rides. He uses the ocean’s force to commit some of the most insane aerial tricks ever performed via any medium on the ocean.

Up to this point waveskiing really hasn’t gotten much attention. If this video, the first ever waveskiing segment to air on FuelTV, is any indication, that’s about to change.
