Yesterday, the 18-year-old Australian, fresh off winning Stab High Japan and entering the 2025 Swatch Nines at the 11th hour, paddled out for the first session of the day and landed one of the most inverted, off-axis airs ever seen in Waco’s famed wave pool. Hughie greased a one-handed stalefish backflip — with no straps or winch pull — right in front of slack-jawed filmers.

Something started when the Chapter 11 crew drove north up 101 and raided the Channel Islands factory a few years back. Maybe “Out of the Rafters” sparked a timeless theme in surfing — that yellowed boards are still worth riding. Even if they look a bit odd at first glance. “It’s not like a fish at all,” Dane Reynolds said of an obscure Channel Islands model he pulled out for the video below.
