Can you go right off the 2nd reef roll-in and kick out before things get hairy?
stunetMonday, 24 Feb 2025 at 1:38pm
Maybe, but not really. If the wave's big enough to break Second Reef it's too big for Backdoor.
That said, in his biography 'Bustin Down The Door', Rabbit ends the Hawaiian chapter of his life with a session on Pipe's outside reefs shared with Shaun Tomson. Rab rolls into a bomb then overcome with nostalgia at his old sparring partner joining him in the water, swings right into Backdoor, gets mercilessly flogged to the point that he rolls up the beach, then signs it off:
"And that, in all honesty, is the last great thing I ever did."
Worth reading the book for that moment alone.

Haha, that's a great quote. Never read, must do.
But yeah, I'm obsessed with roll-ins. (Got one today into a nice backhand barrel.)

This is much better than the other “live” surf comp from last week. It’s pumping
CraigMonday, 24 Feb 2025 at 1:50pm

old mate nearly makes the 2nd reef roll in of his life... nemo grabbed his leggy on the exit
CraigMonday, 24 Feb 2025 at 2:09pm
Fark, how's that 2nd reef one that guy fully backdoor'd and made, but then fell after the spit! Aghhhh.
Snap Dawny.

Classic.
it was terrifying watching him pick his line with those slow pumps. After the booger pulled off the previous wave before it hit the inside, I thought he had no chance.. and then the magic happened! Not sure i've ever seen anything like that before.

Sick. Lots of action.
