When you think Mason Ho, you think eccentric aversion to the norm. He’s blazed an unholy path to surf stardom by way of one-footed floaters, boned out backside alley oops, and a fearless approach to massive Pipeline. In the current landscape of saturated surf clips – air reverse after air reverse – Mason’s are a welcome distraction. His offbeat approach and affinity for weird waves are a breath of fresh air.
In this edition of whacky web clips with Mason Ho, we travel to Brazil, where Mase was stationed for a QS event. Outside of the singlet, the world’s most entertaining surfer stumbled upon a wedgy Frankenstein of a wave. The thing is like a miniature, reversed version of The Wedge. And in true form, Mason does not disappoint – sneaking into some warbly tubes, launching airs off the backwash, and, of course, his signature one-footed floaters.
It’s not your typical warm-up heading into the North Shore contest season, but hey, Mason Ho isn’t your typical surfer. And that’s why we love ’em.
