Of all of the methods you could possibly wipeout at 25ft Jaws, this one is probably the worst. Ouch!

File that one under "Probably seemed like a good idea at the time."

Shane Dorian's instagram identifies the kitesurfer.

It is everybody's new favourite action sports superhero, Niccolo Porcella.

The man who is also responsible for the most horrific looking wipeout ever at Teahupoo.

And now bringing his particular brand of genius to Jaws.
Niccola, we salute you.

Knows how to take a beating!

Hopefully he survives long enough to enjoy the rewards for winning the XXL Wipeout of the year

Yep, thankfully he survived with little injury, but arguably, in visual terms, it's got to be close to the worst wipeout ever filmed.

If he doesn't win XXL Wipeout of the year for Chopes then the guy that does will have to die to take the title.
