5. Mr. Gigglesworth. Brett Simpson. You know that little smile you can't help but get when you're sitting in church/temple/whatever and you think of something super inappropriate and you want to laugh so hard. Well, this is that. Photo: ASP
Everyone loves a good barrel face. It’s like the ultimate claim, because it’s one that isn’t really under the surfers’ control. You can see exactly what they’re thinking: scared, excited, or in John John’s case, incredibly bored. And why shouldn’t he be bored? He’s just in a barrel that could hide a truck, traveling at an incredible rate of speed over an extremely sharp reef. Boooorrrring.
Watch more barrel faces right now on the live ASP webcast of the Billabong Pro Tahiti.
