There are a few quick questions to ask yourself before attempting to share a barrel with a fellow surfer:
– Does the location you’ve mapped out for the stunt throw a big enough barrel to fit two surfers?
– Do you trust the guy or girl’s surfing ability you’re about share a barrel with?
– Do you GoPro it to show people and gloat or play it cool and concentrate on the task at hand?
– Where do you position yourself in the barrel, first or second?
– And most importantly, are your balls even big enough to attempt it?
We’re looking back on the surfers (and skimboarder) that have taken on the double barrel and it’s safe to say the last question is no issue for these guys. Here are the 5 best double barrels caught on camera, from some of the biggest hellmen of the sport.
