Koa Rothman has taken out the 2017 Da Hui Backdoor Shootout, in Pipeline, Hawaii. It might be one of the most low-key surf contests in the world, but its participants are no strangers to Banzai Pipeline. The rashguard-free, invite-only event once again had a stellar roster of local tube riders.

Four days of incredible performances.
