Even pros need a day off here and there.

Australian pro surfers Mick Fanning and Julian Wilson joined fellow Aussie wakeboarding star Cory Teunissen on his brand-new boat for a cheeky wakesurf and wakeboarding session.

A promotional stunt steered by Red Bull, the afternoon of frivolity included a few runs on an inflatable crab and shark. Nothing like watching a two-time World Champion barrel-roll off a croc to get your day going.

Because Fanning, Wilson and Teunissen are three of the planet's top athletes, there's some genuinely epic performing in this video too, beyond the novelty bits. The trio's syndicated wake attempt almost makes up for the horrendous soundtrack.
