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!

YETI Presents | Astronaut in the Ocean Doormat. Dick dragger. Myna bird of the sea. Call bodyboarders what you want — Shane Ackerman doesn’t care. Despite his low brow status as a bodyboarder, he feels right at home in an ocean full of surfers. Equipped with just a foam board and a pair of flippers, he charges the intimidating waves others shy away from. But unlike surfing, bodyboarding has few fans and even fewer sponsors. So to support himself, Shane works the mines. And while every dollar earned is spent on his next adventure, it’s a cost Shane happily pays to do what makes him feel most free. Director – Keith Malloy DP – Andrew Schoneberger Producer – Brett Williams Executive Producers – Scott Ballew, Taylor Johns Camera Unit B – Prahlad Strickland AC – Noah Woo Sound Engineer – Prahlad Strickland Photography – Ryan Collins Color – Arlington Peak Sound Mix – Brotheryn Studios Original Music: Todd Hannigan, Erik Janson, EJ Worland, Jacklen Ro, Popkillers, Scott Ballew Additional Footage: Shane Ackerman, Conor Hegyi, Chris Bryan, James Kates, Dave Fox, Tim Bonython, Nathan Florence, Guy Mac, Cameron Staunton.
