Rip Tide was known far and wide as one of the best Aqua-Fighters in Skylands.
He mastered a multitude of aquatic techniques and amazed tournament spectators with his ability to adapt his fighting style to any opponent. Among his repertoire were Swordfish Fencing, Hammerhead Heaving and even the rare Blubber Whale Wallop - which he had used numerous times in the legendary Rumble in the Reef.
