There is not much else to this video other than heaving, throaty barrels – but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. A few airs and power gauges here and there, but Southern France is renowned for its massive chilly barrels. And who better to see navigate these tasty tubes than Mick Fanning, CJ Hobgood, Luke Davis, Vincent Duvignac, Joan Duru, Miky Picon, and Arnaud Darrigade? There could be a few more world-class barrel riders added to this list, but that should not take away from the fact that these lunatics were absolutely charging on these incredible autumn days. Reckon the best barrel goes to the surfer at the 2:00 marker?
