Parko Leads Ryan Callinan, Laura Enever, And Jai G Down South

“We didn’t really know what we were in for.”

Certain waves are trickier to navigate than others. Studying the tides, waiting for the right winds, and evading crowds are some of the obstacles associated with the glorified “strike mission.”

Billabong’s Adventure Division, including Ryan Callinan, Joel Parkinson, Laura Enever, Jai Glindeman, Micah Margieson, and Lennix Smith, rolled the dye on a last-minute trip down south. As the clip above suggests, they couldn’t have picked a more appropriate time to pull the trigger. 

A mutant right-handed shelf quickly washed away any fear the crew had of getting skunked. Just how heavy was it? Ryan Callinan, a trained Karate assassin, broke two boards in a single session. Then Laura Enever gave him a lesson in wave selection.

Click in for some waves you think you’d want to surf, but would probably terrify you in person.
