- Tom Carroll, 1991 Pipe masters, the snap, and the two-ten final, the day after his sister dies. Taking off in front as Derek Ho just hangs on to his board to punch through the lip thinking it was too late....

I remember when that snap was shown in a photo in Surfer Mag, it was the most radical thing I'd ever seen. Still is really when you think of the power he put in it and the power of the wave. He made it look easy but that was because he timed it perfectly and his massive balls swung him round like a pendulum!
Power vs power.
100%
Benchmark of what surfing is really about, no bull shit circus tricks just pure surfing into another zone , in my opinion this is pure genius at work.
Kelly can ride Pipe but TC rode it with such dominance, you’d swear he was spat from Pipe tube at birth… even for a haole.
The late take off, the turns and floater like he was surfing 4ft slop was insane but that snap under the lip!?! Whoa, that’s still the most savage move I’ve seen in surfing to this very day. Respect TC, you are a beast👊🏾
I grew up in Newport Australia and I was lucky enough to see him in the water a few times a week, to see it is another level, he'd demolish waves like a pit bull, just chucking buckets of water everywhere
At the time no one charged pipe like Tom Carroll. That signature snap under the lip was unbelievable and jaw dropping to watch. Definitely one of the best surfers at pipe all time.
tom carroll and pipe were made for each other
Burly and graceful at the same time. He’s whipping that 7’8 gun around like it ain’t no thang!
Great respect for Tom's surfing back then. His charging at the Pipe was quite memorable, and yes, legendary. I wish him well for the days left in front of him. Great footage, thanks so much.
that turn it's amazing revolutionary unforgettable never seen it since.
Hard to believe this is 30 years old.
One of my all-time favorite surfers!
Great post - I think the 'big' board benefited his style very well back then.
Just watched him get a 9.6 or something at the Pipe Legends heat. At 52 and still ripping
2 of the greatest surfers of all time Lopez and Carroll style grace soul and no bull shit .
Derek?
Never seen a snap at pipe as critical since.
Why is tom Carroll not regarded as one of the top pipe legends?
I think he is well maybe not remembered as well as some legends
He is
Have you been in a coma the last 12 years ?
I’m going to say that Tom Carroll is probably the best non Hawaiian ever at Pipe.
Moving that board around like it's nothing🔥🔥🔥🔥
At 1:02 that's an absolute massive one such an unbelievable drop...balls of steel from Mr.Carrol!
Don’t think I’ve seen anyone do it better
I was lucky enough to be there live, Tom was in flow state to say the least.
Fearless perfection! 😎🤙🏼🏄♂️
thanks for sharing
Uno stile impressionante...Sempre il Numero 1. 9.6 agli open di quest'anno..
The late drop calling Derek's bluff for one of 2 tens in the final is the most committed late drop in pipe comp history. Then he dropped another 10 before that and a 8. 🐐 of pipe late 80s early 90s
Never one to hold back!
carroll best ever
The snap on a wave that size is remarkable. what the hell haha
This is true Pipeline. Not what is surfed on tour, nowadays.
Has the wave changed or is someone´s interests to have contest on smaller days?
Huge pipe with Tom Carroll needs Janes Addiction in the background.
Literally any Janes song could work with this video. I would have went with Ocean Size though.
Locksmith DB Ya, it’s about time somebody put some good music to a surf vid on RUclips!
Amazing...the heaviest pipe final at every time...the best surfer in the world (together Kelly)
You got your dates wrong. His sister died in 1987, before the final which he won in murky waters and heavy Pipe. 1991 was the end of an era, with Curren winning the Wyland Pro at Haleiwa and Carroll winning at Pipe for the last time. The age of the backsiders had already started in 1991. Kelly Slater that year made it to the semis at Pipe, with some incredible backside barrels, thus qualifying for the 1992 tour which he went on to win in his first try, along with the 1992 Pipe masters.
Legend!
Isso sim é radicalizar!
Tom Carroll had balls of steel.
Still to this day the GOAT, if he was 20yrs old today he'd be doing backhand snaps under the lip at Jaws
It's funny to see such a big board, these days it's all about going smaller boards in big waves
sem medo, MONSTRO
Never been a SNAP like it since!!!
Amazing.
Incredible surfing, but terrible loss at the same time. I can see that emotion was fueling his tremendous performance.
Best surfer on the planet, at that time.
Man I remember that snap under the lip. So nasty...
is the music Janes addiction?
Beast mode!!
Fucking hellman right there!!!!
Cuando vi este video por primera vez, pronto supe como goofi que surfing deseaba hacer y aprender, los guns son tablas que siempre me llamaron la atención por su elegante diseño y calidad que ofrecen de auténtico surf
The take off inside of Derek Ho then to free falling. Game over.
The final match was Tom Carroll, Derek Ho, Slater and who was the other one?
TC, Derek Ho, Damien Hardman and Glen Winton
Is this a clip from the Hawaii 94 VHS?
Champion!!!!!!
Verdadeiro Surf !!!
Legend
tom is so gnarly at pipeline
frekeeeen beast!
Set the standard.
That drop! @ 1:34😳👍
There was a time back in the day when most surfers found tc dear to their hearts 😂
7'8" is not long, on a good board for solid over 6' plus Hawaiian. It requires more work to get it to plane and recover...but the results is worth it.
Não existia um surfista na face da terra que pudesse deter Carroll nesse dia.
They would and just did deem that size uncontestable. Because the Brazilians couldn't handle it....I remember watching pipe masters on ABC wide world of sports in the mid 70s. Waves were huge and guys like Jose Angel charged. Guess I'm showing my age. Left a piece of my asscheek on the reef in 86. Still have the scar. Humbling frightening place
Brazilians destroying Pipe today 🤷🏻♂️😅
MG
4r me the Best.of those Fews..
Por lejos las gun son lo mejor, quien no quisiera correr una gun en el momento perfecto
Waths's The Name of that Song?'
Monster

Tom was a bit arrogant at times but that snap was insane ronnie burns and Tom carroll the best
One of the Greastest.
The event when his sister died was actually in '89
Fkin legend
He's a monster
Snapping under a giant pipe lip. Yikes. Aussie Aussie Aussie. Oy oy oy.
It's such a big board he's using
Fuk yeah
Tom Carrol set the standard!????
all these fools still shredding waves....
Did Tom win in 91? Thought he won last in 90 vs Booth, Marsh, Clark-Jones?
I was there watching on the beach. He beat Derek Ho in the final with the best surfing I’d ever seen.
He won in 87, 90 and 91.
janes addiction ..true nature.. strays
Legend status that day. Tommy gun.

All them years he wire that helmet but what he really needed was n ass plug 😅
A wtf moment at the time.
Surfings become overcrowded and commercialized. Everything we feared back before it was it has become. All these kids today think about is competition and contests which is exactly why it’s commercialized now. Lame.
Ha ha ha
He's alright I guess.
