This is a good example of a “snowball” and rule number #324587. Just the slightest paddle of another surfer getting out of the way or even take a peek over the ledge on the upcoming shoulder can completely crumble that throwing section of that perfect wave. This thing could have been one of the best barrels of the day for this guy. Just something to think about if you’re out there in the lineup here. It’s like holding the door open for someone… it’s just the right thing to do.
