“Paddling out before the comp and getting a wave is what @dakotabriley_ would’ve done. This wave is dedicated to him.” — @luke0connell 🎥 @samezb

Another lei day for the @dahuiofficial Backdoor Shootout. Here’s to hoping we get a day like last year’s event when @m_pang was feet away from making this one. @huioheenalunorthshore

Frothing almost as hard as @rivskates on his wave for the Shootout to start. Off for today ( Saturday, January 10) @dahuiofficial @huioheenalunorthshore

#TBT: When first reef was maxing out, and @bethanyhamilton was swinging on everything. Here’s the forecast for tomorrow’s @dahuiofficial Backdoor Shootout. A long-period NW swell builds through the morning and peaks in the afternoon. As it fills in, some reefs will become overloaded (though it’s not quite large enough to qualify as a true outer-reef/Waimea swell). Widespread surf in the 2–3x overhead range prevails at the peak, with standout spots pushing 20-foot faces. A light wind pattern remains in place, with land and sea breezes likely. Mornings look like the safest bet with light SE winds. Stay tuned for the call, and plan your watch party this weekend as we bring you the stream live on our YouTube.

North Shore update: Shootout was off today, but @sheldoggydoor and @cocom4debarrelkilla were on fire. Surf trends downward tomorrow before ramping up a lot over the weekend.

Australian goofy power ⚡️ @charli.hately keeps the backhand strong ahead of a potential cyclone swell 🤞🏼 Check the latest Incoming for what’s coming to Australia’s east coast and follow @surfline_aus for local coverage.

Barrels, big turns, and hitting the lip @macaronis_resort is what the @jsindustries99 Big Horse is made for! @brettbarley took the 6’0 Tier 2 for Greenbush but surfed it at Macaronis one day and was blown away with how much he liked it on that wave.
