Tahoe Skiier, all-around athlete, and daredevil Chuck Patterson shows some wild new approaches to the big waves in Hawaii on…two planks?  Go figure. It makes for quite an exciting video and give us some really great visuals – and we didn’t even have to get wet!

Extreme sports like this are part of an ever-increasing market sector, and even if one has no interest in participating (don’t look for me to be competing in the next X-Games!) it can make for an enthralling media experience.

I don’t know about you, but this video is just cool to watch. It’s very impressive how much dedication and focus some of these extreme athletes have. I also love Patterson’s demeanor. He does a great job of demonstrating what he’s doing without coming across as boastful or haughty. One can really get a sense of his passion and drive to conquer that next big wave.

What do you think? Do you have a favorite extreme sport? Leave a comment below, and include some video links if you’d like – we always love to see new things around here! Inspiration can come at any time from anything, so we’ve learned to keep our eyes open and always be prepared to seize the next bright idea.
