Wave of the Day: Benji Brand at Backdoor, Dec 17th, 2021 Vid: Jason Crane Yeah, we already covered last weekend at Pipeline. It was pumping, day-of-the-year-so-far type stuff. And while we thought we saw everything come through (which was a lot!) this wave, ridden expertly Friday evening by local charger Benji Brand, slid in last night, and our collective minds were blown. It wasn't as perfect as some of the Pipe waves that were ridden, but it was probably the most committed, deepest and well-executed tube of the swell. Hence Wave of the Day status. Worth noting: Brand is probably one of the most tubed humans on the planet, from home on the North Shore to the wilds of Skelton Bay and beyond, meaning that it's a mind-blowing ride, yes, but if anyone was gonna make that last section, it'd be a guy like Brand. "It was the first time I paddled out at Pipe this winter," said Brand. "I was super shaky and nervous out there -- really wasn't comfortable after not being out there for so long. I had to jump on a left before, so that didn't help settle the nerves. [Laughs.] This wave came in as a big teepee and broke far out at Backdoor and had a really sick looking line on it. I was in the perfect spot to chip shot in and catch it and I knew I was going to have to link it through Off-the-Wall cause that's where the energy was going. I took a pretty big high line -- that I actually regret, because I wish I was deeper after the fact. Anyways, I went through Off-the-Wall and then it hit this really shallow sandbar inside Off-the-Wall that just kept peeling! Was super stoked to just make it out the other end and settle the nerves. I actually claimed it -- I think out of pure relief! [Laughs.] Couldn't hold the emotion in. But yeah, definitely stoked to finally link one from Backdoor through OTW!"
