Tony sent me these screenshots. I guess Paul Gordinho posted it. These were the good old days at Backdoor. I have probably logged in over a thousand sessions with hundreds of barrels. I surfed there so much that it started to feel comfortable. But a couple near death experiences out there made me feel uncomfortable again. That’s what this spot can do to you so you must respect it.
Pro surfer/Lifeguard Dave Wassel once said “there are 2 kinds of surfers who surf at Backdoor. One already hit the reef. And the other one is going to hit the reef.
Pro surfer/World champion BJJ Kaiborg Garcia once said “if you can catch waves at Backdoor, you can catch waves at any spot around the world.”
