Many of us haven't heard of Dane Hall, a 25-year-old British pro surfer who smartly relocated to Peniche, where waves like this can magically happen in the middle of May. And while the tube itself is quite remarkable, it's the line Hall chooses that makes this a special clip. There's so much water sucking up off the sand that the best possible place to be is not tucking in high and tight and driving, but standing still towards the very bottom of the wave as it growls across the sandbar. |

"This wave at Supertubes was just perfect," explained Von Rupp. "I saw my friend Joao taking of a couple of feet in front of me, and I just thought if I could handle the first whitewash, I could just ride it behind him. I kept getting closer and closer to him, and my next thought was if this guy clicks the eject button, I'll just absolutely cut him into pieces, so I did a big pump underneeth him to overtake. Pity he didn't make it out -- it could've been the wave of a lifetime for both of us. But still an amazing vision." |
