This year’s Less Than 5 contest, presented by MasterCraft, was the best yet, and rather than have heats we gave each invited rider 20 minutes to put together his best six trick line. We gathered at The Boarding School this weekend and every rider put down insanely unique, and stylish lines. Afterward they voted themselves on who they think won, but now it’s your turn to vote on who you think did it best. Here are the basics:
– Each line must have six consecutive tricks (no falls)
– All of the tricks must be less than 540. Straight airs, 180’s, and 360’s only. No inverts, no raleys.
– One of the six tricks must be a method

Watch each section above and make your vote based on style, fluidity, creativity, amplitude, and all around awesomeness. The Fan Favorite will be announced with the podium at Premieres & Beers at the Alliance Wake Lounge at Surf Expo, Friday at 4:30. If you’re lucky enough to be able to come to Surf Expo you’re definitely going to want to be there.

Note: Some riders’ lines only have five tricks, as they were unable to get a full six trick line they were happy with in the 20 minute time period.
