I saw Blair Simpson get his body into a barrel up north once - on an 8ft beauty.
he had the rig poking out the front of the barrell. He got smashed another 30m down the line as he was so deep he couldnt make the next section. He just ghostied his gear out the front of the wave , took the pounding and waterstrted out of there
The footage is on west oz power - but with the spray and back light its hard to really see it.
Could you link to it?

The guys a freak - and if he starts sailing again would blow minds all over the planet.
He used to get up side down underneath the lip and just get flicked out the front of the wave.
Was wondering if someone's done a full barrel roll. Have seen a few on film do little ones off the lip, but most flicky 360 type things with just a little bit of air, not full blown launches into the flat.
