WIRED:

Motorcycles are not made for surfing. They do not float. They are not waterproof. All of which explains the biggest problem Robbie Maddison had when he tried to use one as a surfboard.

“We sank the motorcycle over a hundred times,” he says.

None of that stopped the Aussie stunt rider from combining his adult profession with his childhood passion to create Pipe Dream, a short video in which Maddison rides the wicked waves of Teahupo’o on a modified KTM 300 motocross machine.

First time I saw stills from the video, I thought it was pretty good photoshop work. Then I started watching the video and thought, that looks like fun. Then I saw him surf the waves of Teahupo’o and thought he was a crazy person.
