The man who surfs waves with his motorbike (pics + vid)

Incredibly daring

Newsroom August 3 09:10

Australian stuntman Robbie Maddison, known as the Aussie Evil Knievel, now surfs waves in Tahiti with a purpose-built motorbike fitted to a pair of skis and a tyre. The man who doubled for Daniel Craig in the James Bond film Skyfall tried this incredible fete, making look incredibly easy though he states that it was physically demanding. “I honestly thought that might be the end of my life,” he said regarding a huge wave that broke behind him. “I’ve never felt like I was in the wrong place at the wrong time more than I did right there.”
