Crazy action with Ian Walsh

This is just bananas. Imagine if someone came at you with an idea, and was like, "You know what would be epic? You on one of those inflatable hot dog things they pile tourists on in Cabo and pull behind boats, and we'll tow you in to 15-foot Jaws." Except this wasn't some idea hatched in the marketing war room of some surf company. This was all Ian. Ian was the one with the idea. Ian was the one who called his brothers and told them the plan. And Ian was the one who bought the doggie. The boys at STAB mag (if it's not one of your go-to sites yet, bookmark it), did a little q&a with Mr. Walsh after seeing the photos. Go to stabmag.com for the full read and ridiculous sequence.
To paraphrase a tranqued-up Will Ferrell in Old School: You're crazy, man. You're crazy. (We) like you, but you're crazy.
