A mate of mine was in Hawaii when Tommy pulled out what I think is the greatest single manouvre ever peformed on a wave. The stuff that happened in the lead up to him paddling out and doing that hack is something of an underground ledgend. Out of respect for Tommy I wont repeat what happened on here but those who have heard the tale will have a quiet chuckle about surfings wild past!
