Backdoor Shootout Day 1: All the Best Rides

Day one of Da Hui Backdoor Shootout was as good of a day as we could have asked for. The surfers were sending it on some super heavy Pipe bombs and there were some amazing rides that were had.

Great video. You're changing up angles, showing the paddling into the waves, and having the glorious sounds of the ocean, make for an Awesome viewing experience!! Funny, no backdoor waves at the Backdoor shootout YET. With those side angle shots, you can really see the riders getting blown up inside the barrel by the foam ball.

thank you so much 🙏 Hopefully we get a solid backdoor day, as those are some of the funnest to watch, in my opinion

Best event of the year, a great start with the incoming swell ystrdy. Pretty sure Makana would have been given a 12 if he would have made it through that wave. 🤙🏼

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the judges booth, what a team they have grading this contest.

End section was clamping

[@OffDaLip]

Yea, if they bend out to sea, they clamp. If they bend in towards the rider, they don't

The incredible leadership of haoles must be celebrated. Without the leadership of haoles, Hawaiians would still be riding finless wooden planks on the shores of Waikiki. Thank a haole near you whenever you see incredible surfing like this at Pipeline and elsewhere.
