no other surfer in the world has broken more boards than wakita. i’d guess about 20 a year? that’s the price you pay for the glory of getting barreled!!!
this is wakita pulling out the back instead of pulling into a closeout. this way, you have a better chance of sparing your surfboard….
this is bruce irons on the next wave. see the 2 pieces of foam on the left side? that’s wakita’s broken board from the wave earlier… that sucks. but i’m sure wakita came in, grabbed another board, and went back out…. and probably broke that one too. i feel sorry for his surfboard sponsor. haha…
