For the last few weeks, Kandui Resort, home to some of the finest waves the planet has to offer, has been loading their Instagram account with 2016’s best wipeouts. It’s a veritable treasure trove of goodness or badness, depending on how you look at it. Without further ado, here are the top 20 most cringeworthy wipeouts.
