Not that impressed by the freestyle on the vid of eli compared to the current level

and surly a lot of them rip in waves and on boardoff as well...
If you like variety, check out Leander Vyvey - a really nice guy I met him last year (riding for Best kitebaording now)

(no waveriding in this one though...)

If Eli's vid is from 2004, what is he doing now that he is 8 years older? Is he still ripping?

Well, i think those few movies summerise everything about Eli:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPopqQVz ... ure=relmfu - Megloops = oldschool + bit of freestyle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZBSa4so ... ure=fvwrel - Freestyle + strapless freestyle on the waves (look at 03:15)

So...

This is my favorite of Eli's videos.
This was shot in 2008 while he was riding for the F.One team.

I think I've seen Eli Zarka at Brazil in 2009. He kicked ass in freestyle, oldschool, and wave.
Pretty sure i have also seen him surf.

Got a chance to also see Jesse live. The styles of the two are totally different, Whole Eli is very aggressive Jesse is more "fluent".
