Nick Colbey (orange shirt, white board) and Jyoti Walker (white shirt, pink board) rack up some gluttonous tube time in this clip.

Fella's fully gorge themselves in a glorious display of backside barrel riding, with a special mention to JW's slouching bottom turn cum layback.

Heck, they got their fill, didn't they?

Reminds of some footage of ours from HTs. In one 2min sequence, I get zero waves, while Jordy Smith gets two bombs :-)

His surfing was impressive, but his paddling was bloody insane - so fast!

A day like this, if you're willing to go - you'll get all the waves you want.....

They seem to be taking off a heap deeper than everyone else. Probably being a bit greedy, but gotta hand it to them.
