Griffin Colapinto, Combination soup at Backdoor, Hawaii

“I was out there trying to coach him into a good one,” said Reef McIntosh after seeing 14-year-old Griffin Colapinto ride this wave. “Little did I know he was going to do that. The kid will be just fine on his own.” Ryan Miller, professional photographer, currently in Hawaii (shooting sequences like this), was equally as shocked: “What is this world coming to when prepubescent kids are getting tubed at backdoor, coming out and doing rotators. It wasn’t exactly easy out there today. Every surfer in the Volcom Pipe Pro was out practicing and hassling for waves.” Watch out for this kid.
