Watch: Nic von Rupp backdooring Mavericks

The Mavericks left is a temptation to all goofys who ride the wave, yet it's a slide rarely ventured. Portuguese big wave chaser Nic von Rupp took a chance when the opportunity arose during last Monday's swell.

Didn't Jeff Clark only surf the left for years?

spot on mate, this has been done for years but the media has a massive boner for Von Rupp at the moment, guy can't fart without it being all over surf websites and instagram, I mean the guy charges and absolutely rips but the current obsession is just weird

Don’t think Jeff Clark was backdooring the peak and getting tubed was he?
Happy to be corrected

Clark could switchfoot Left and Right,both natural or goofy,so i guess he could'a backdoored it all over the place...but only the seals would know
