Nic JOB is the best backside barrel rider in my humble opinion. He absolutely sends it on pipe on a foamie and does it with such style.

Been working on just my backside barrel riding for this winter and it was really tough at first I kept getting smashed by the lip from not dragging my arm high enough in the wave… but it’s paying off now. He’s dead on about full commitment it’s like throwing yourself over a ledge rather then stalling then driving for speed like normal surfing but once you get a few good ones it will click.

At the young age of 56 and after 40 plus years of surfing I'm still learning, Thanks for the tips Nic! Backside barrels have always been challenging for me. I have a 5' 8" asymmetrical quad mini Simmons being glassed at this very moment. Can not wait to get in the water (late Nov in Costa Rica) and give your tips a try. Have you any experience with asymmetrical boards.

It would be great to hear some best practices on coming back to the line up, e.g. going through the crashed waves (duck dive), use currents/lifts etc. As an intermediate (below intermediate) surfer I am seriously struggling with it when waves are 8+ feet strong. Thank you again for your amazing content, it just "lift you up"! 🔥

Epic vid, good vibes from Peru

[@JoelReeves2006]

My surfing is getting better. I’ve been dropping in late lately because of these Lully waves. My 8’ soft top digs into the water with its nose. So I try to paddle side ways into the wave for these ones.

[@johnmcgroder825]

My first barrel was backside today...can surf pretty good forehand but can't quite get the timing and stalking for the barrel

[@buttersnow]

So sick! The Nias wave is incredible. It shows all the committment needed. Thanks for sharing this video. It makes me believe with all your tips I am not going with the lip next time :D

[@RandallRamsey-ht2rn]

WHATS THE BACKROUND SONG! WASTED AN HOUR OF MY LIFE TRYIBG TO HEAR ONE LYRIC

[@RandallRamsey-ht2rn]

Anyone know the background song

[@danzo4354]

Takes time long time ,but remember inside the barrel is the safest place

[@manolaso123]

Ass dragging no better to describe it keeping it real ✊🏽🤙🏽

[@-3590-]

My major problem with pigdogging is the back foot gets knocked off, either stalling or by the foam ball. Made a couple goat boating haha.

[@FirstLast.....]

I always ass drag while spooning my yogurt.
