What's up

Board Stories / Da Hui Backdoor Shootout / Dean Wilmot / v20 ep 4 Heavy Barrels & Surf History: Da Hui Backdoor Shootout & Dean Wilmot Welcome back to another edition of Board Stories TV! In this episode, hosts Mike Latronic and Ezra Rodriguez take us deep into the heart of the North Shore, blending high-octane competitive surfing with the rich history of the lensmen who capture it. 🌊 In This Episode: The Da Hui Backdoor Shootout: Experience the raw power of one of Hawaii’s most prestigious events. We wrap up the final rounds, celebrating Team Japan’s incredible performance and watching local hero Koa Rothman claim top honors with a massive, last-minute bomb. Legendary Perspectives: We sit down with renowned Aussie photographer Dean Wilmot. After a recent brush with death and open-heart surgery, Dean shares his incredible journey—from shooting legends like Tom Carroll on film in the 80s to his "two-housing" tactical approach to swimming at 12-foot Pipeline. Waimea Valley Mana: Go beyond the beach to explore the cultural significance of Waimea. From the ancient site of Hale O Lono to artisan workshops, we explore why Hawaii is about more than just the waves—it's about the land and the spirit (mana). The Time Capsule: Dive into Alan Sarlow’s Vault for a dose of nostalgia. We look at recently recovered Super 8 footage from 1974-75, featuring the now-extinct surf spots of POP Pier and the Venice Jetty. 📍 Featured Locations & Guests: Surfers: Koa Rothman, Team Japan, Tom Carroll (archive). Photographers: Dean Wilmot, Alan Sarlow. Locations: Pipeline/Backdoor, Waimea Valley, Huntington, and Venice Beach. Special thanks to our sponsor: 🌮 Jorge’s Mexican Restaurant & Bar – Located in the heart of Haleiwa Town. The perfect spot to refuel after a North Shore session!
