I don't think so? There are no videos or anouncements that I could find that says or shows anyone winning.

I heard Josh Sleigh did one, but there was only a picture sequence so they didn't take it. They want video.

K just checked into it didn't find anything on a winner. Just alot of close calls and claims that people have landed it they just didn't have a camera.

i wonder why Josh didnt film it?

maybe it was because he winched into it? Smash

i hope josh gets one on video. its such a milestone trick it seems

I've been watching my buddy try them...It's crazy how close he gets. I'm sure if any decent wakeskater gave it some practice it would go down pretty fast. You could probably just put a old surfboard on a trampoline (no fins) and just practice it until you had it dialed... and then take it to the surf.

If someone can board a kickflip on a surfboard, then it's just a matter of time before someone lands one. Or gets one on film, i should say..
