What Does Mason Ho Think About When He’s In The Barrel?

Get inside Mason’s unparalleled mind his this auto-narrated session in Bali.

Here’s something a little…different. 

We’ve seen Mason Ho thread head-high tubes a thousand times before, watched as he performed his patented look-down, cheater-five, and jazz-hand combos, but never have we had even the slightest inkling of what odd-ball thoughts are rattling around his mind while in Trioton’s lair.

But thanks to Mason’s general willingness to partake in any silly idea we lay before him, we now have a post-surf auto-narration from a particularly cylindrical session on Bali’s east side. 

If you ever wanted to know what’s going through Mason’s mind when he’s in the tube, this is it.
