Zoltan has pulled the first kickflip on a surfboard, but the $10,000 still remains up for grabs. We called Zoltan with our decision and he replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m not here to argue against your decision, but I am here to revolutionize surfing.&#8221; . . We are stoked on Zoltan and his reaction to our call. He wants to dedicate his kickflip to the memory of his lost friend Carl Reimer, and he says the money is his and he will keep trying for the $10K. Making a kickflip on a surfboard IS possible, Zoltan proved it. We anticipate seeing the winning kickflip in the near future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;re not going to argue with the VeeCo either, but if <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/?p=21843\" target=\"_blank\">that video<\/a><\/strong> had been shot from the water we&#8217;re guessing Mr. Torkos would have had a much stronger case and most likely $10,000. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/?p=21843\" target=\"_blank\">Watch it again<\/a><\/strong> and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volcom has released their official judgement for Santa Cruz&#8217;s Zoltan Torkos&#8217; Friday kickflip and the word is &#8220;No.&#8221; Sighting official Rule #3: &#8220;The kickflip must be a real air &#8216;above the lip&#8217; &#8211; No backwash, No chop hops, or anything in the flats or below the lip of the wave,&#8221; the judges have said no [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21930"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21930"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21939,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21930\/revisions\/21939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
