2nd is my favorite for the style. First he went over the double up then stood straight up arms outstreched in victory while still in that massive barrel.
laird was not the first to get shacked at "chopes". lota other people have gotn sum there before he did. he just caught a F'n bomb and made it. lesson to be learnt: dont be a knock.
all respect to these surfers but laird's ride at teahupo is there too because it was a first. this is a retrospective documentary so respect needs to be shown to the pioneers of the barrel
holy jebus. pulling in at jaws requires serious kahunas. kudos to Garrett but not sure its the greatest barrell of all time. with regards to Laird, there isn't and probably never will be a better natural waterman as skilled as him. And he'd eat you for breakfast with his raw eggs and man juice.
Some waves have a huge barrel, but you can not surf them as well or as long as some other ones, which are may be less beautifull but more rideable.
For me in this sequence, the best is Cloudbreak, but when they work, for me, the best barrels are in Hossegor, so fast... Much less big than those ones, but delicious to ride
The tittle of the vid is well chosen, because it shows what the author consider to be the 10 best barrel spots, what we can discuss, and it's good. It doesn't say the 10 best times where a surfer has taken a barrel. Obviously, because for some of them the surfer is even not in the barrel, so we can even say it's not a barrel, in the sense a surfer surfing a barrel. That's the point i think to discuss what are the 10 best barrels.
hahahhaahhaahha listen right before is doubled up, those guys tripped. one guy wen " oohhh myyyy" seriously scared man.listen... 3:05 that guy Brennon needs less pussy of friends. He would of been fine
By the way guys, Laird's wave at teahupoo, as amazing as it is, seriously that many people have had bigger, better waves at Chopes. Just because Laird was the first, doesn't make it best.
Think main part of reason is cited so often as 'best' has lot to do with the fact it was about the best coloured water u can imagine, conditions, swell an that particular wave tht day were smooth to the point of looking alien And there hav been bigger scarier ones, BUT tht wave was redfining in a surf cultural sense, in that it was the first freakish roid sized monster at chopes/slash tow in mutant warping reef breaks.
it does.. because all Laird was doing was instinctiv. there was noone who has told him before how to move to not get sucked up by such a big wave.. sry for my english*
@SurferConky Its not about Bigger! That wave Broke Mental and Physical Boundaries! Many Men have Ridden Bigger waves Since that Day But Laird Paved the Way! It was Not about the 'Size' that Day! It was the Volume, Power, Intensity & Breaking into a realm of the "Seemingly" Impossible. That Ride Will Stand out in Surfing History No Matter what. Even The Legends of Waimea -Pat Curren & Greg Noll Have Given Respect to this Man. Laird is One of the Best & a True Waterman.
@SurferConky ....well just because guys have gotten bigger waves doesn't make them the best. in a way laird's ride was the best just because he was the first guy to do it. it makes the ride legendary where others followed in his path
@MalibuCornelius It didn't used to be that way. When I was a kid I saw Malibu in '58 before Gidget came out. It was empty. All the boards were leaning against the wall like a museum. All the spots up north were rarely surfed until about '65 and up until the mid 70's you might score empty Rincon in the morning. Santa Cruz was wide open until about '80. And Mavericks was vacant until '90. Now its all packed. Do like Dora advised - go find yourself an island. Many sailboats want crew. Hitch a ride.
