    Gabriel Medina on FST

    In the new Ripcurl Mirage Medina clip there's some footage of him on a FST Taj by the looks of things.
    Here's a screen grab.

    Here's another video I found of Medina clearly on a Firewire @ 8:49. Chris, any truth to this? If so, I wonder what board he's riding?

    Medina is an absolute freak. What this kid does on a surfboard, so easily, is mind bending!
    What a talent!
    Get him signed Firewire!!!

    It looks like definitely like it in the photo, however in the video it starts out with him walking out with a board that looks like it has a stringer down the middle and hard to tell from there on. He kills on anything and would probably be World Champion by now if he was riding Firewires! Hint, hint to you Chuy.
