Watch Mitch Parkinson Crab Grab His Way To A Wild Tube-Air Combo

There’s no section like the section after a tube. 

No matter how much foam you have in your eyes from a sloppy exit, nor how big or scary that fucker may be, your adrenaline-juiced brain shuts off all warning bells and tells you to soar off that section like your knees were made of tungsten. 

If you’re lucky, your board flies away and you avoid catastrophic injury. If you’re unlucky, you hold onto the board just long enough to land awkwardly in the flats and buckle your joints. And if you win happen to win the surfing lottery, as has Mitch Parkinson, you crab-grab that bitch and claw your way back on top of the board, landing off-balance but ultimately riding away in the foam. 

If you love an amazing athletic feat achieved by sheer force of will, you’ll love Mitch’s ender clip. The rest of it is pretty nuts too.
