The Inertia

Koa Smith should probably stop surfing. The term “chasing the dragon” comes to mind here – after this ridiculously perfect Skeleton Bay barrel, not much else is going to compare. It’s so perfect, it looks fake. This is the fem-bot of barrels. Not a drop of water out of place. Perfect, glassy conditions. And oh yeah, the longest barrel of Koa’s life. It’s nearly a minute long – that’s probably more barrel time on one wave than a lot of surfers will log in their entire surfing career.
