Video: Connor O'Leary's Backhand Surfing Is Worth Hitting Replay For
COASTALWATCH | BEST OF THE WEB
Powerful Australian goofy-footer Connor O'Leary just completed a 14 day quarantine in a Sydney hotel. Two weeks locked in a hotel room was required after returning home from competing in the Pipe Masters in Hawaii. It's probably no co-incidence that in the same time he was sitting around in a bathrobe with nothing but Uber Eats, an exercise bike and the internet to keep him occupied, he's released a hot new edit (with the help of filmer Giorde Grigor). As it's a Connor O'Leary clip, you won't be surprised to find it features some of the most fluid and fierce backhand surfing we've seen in a little while. There's some fairly good tubes on the forehand here too, but it's that backhand that'll make you hit replay.

WEST COAST? EAST COAST? IT’S PUMPING EVERYWHERE!
Well, almost all. But definitely a solid weekend ahead.
