The pioneer of the Leroy Bellet tube angle.

Tubes will forever be the pinnacle of surfing, and Laurent Pujol knows it. 

That’s why the Frenchman has dedicated his life not just to inhabiting the liquid cathedral, but also to capturing it from every possible angle – straight in, straight on, from the front, from behind, etc.

It was Laurent who pioneered the go-behind film angle, which Australian cameraman Leroy Bellet has recently brought to new heights. 

While this clip doesn’t offer any two-man joyrides, we do get to see myriad angles of spectacular international funnels. Which was your favorite?
