Watch: Mason Ho // Hawaii to Indo

You know all the herbal stuff about the wave being a canvas to paint upon, for Mason Ho the wave is a dancefloor to dance upon.

Breaking out the equivalent of The Sprinkler, The Lawnmower, and The Worm, every wave Mason rides has a bit of vogue about it; he's snake-hipped and elaborate.

This clip includes some of his best work.

Mason, Irons bros, Jamie O, Barron, Gerry Lopez, JJF....

Are Hawaiians the most stylish tube riders on the planet?

Ps, how’s that burn at Pipe. Nasty

Hawaiian royalty, pulling rank I would say, not many would get away with that out at pipe. He'd be an epic travel bud to some tropical bliss somewhere, he seams to always have so much froth going on, it's infectious IMO.

Hawaiian royalty taking their monarchy powers to Indo? Pulling Royalty Rank becomes arrogance as soon as your passport is exit stamped and you're in someone else land. I love his surfing - don't like the burns...

I was only referring to the pipe burn. Totally agree, Indo is way out of his jurisdiction thus not acceptable.

You never know what context the burn exists in. The chicanery and snaking that goes down out there is enough to drive a man insane.

Mmmmmmm...... agreed. Love the way he surfs, and can understand him pulling the old "Hawaiian Royalty" card in his waters, but internationally...you get royally fucked Mason.

I know......What a barrel dodger, running away from what clearly was an easy barrel, just ask Mason, he sure enjoyed it behind him ;)

Old mate's probly been going to Indo for 30+ years and in the last 10 has had to put up with younger, greedy cunts like Mason paddling inside etc. and after the 10th time that day arced up and dropped in. Pretty hard for him to get tubed when there's someone in the slot right behind him.

Barrel dodger? Post up a pic of you getting barreled big mouth.

Thing is, he had the confidence the old bloke wasn't going to blow it. You'd be reluctant to do that with a lot of people, even in waves that perfect. Old mate half turned around there at one stage....

Ha ha! Na....not me pal. He's got too much hair and got the wrong foot forward.

I've also been smart enough not to surf in Bali since the last century.

As for travelling buddy. I dunno how Mick does it. People are always going on about how ‘refreshing’ Mason is.
I can’t work him out, seems pretty immature to me. Doubt it’d be a relaxing time.

I'm with you, Solitude. Mason would drive me insane in about 20min.
Travel partners need to master the art of shutting the fcuk up.

Ditto - Great and entertaining surfer........BUT.....I hope his itinerary is different to mine for the next season!!!!
There's already enough snakes and drop ins all over the archipelago without (another) paid one.
