This is the best sequence. Taken on Tuesday (day 3) at Cloudbreak. Believe it or not, I didn't even see that barrel. All I remember is that it was getting steep and I felt the urge to stay as low as possible, before jumping in the water (you can see my hand in the water in the last shot).
I'm definitely NOT a barrel rider (yet). My strategy usually is to try to escape the barrel and look for an open face where to throw some turns. Must have failed on that one...
Here's a link to an article in which you can see some of the photos that the same photographer (Stu Gibson) took on that big Friday at Cloudbreak. Just let the slideshow roll.
And now I'm going to try to catch the remaining of that big swell in Lahaina... better don't have any expectations at all!

The sea is a much darker blue for some reason - can you explain?

Ciao Ni'!
Anne, probably just the better camera of the photographer...
Awesome GP. Not only you got barrelled but it looks like you were nice and deep! How can you not tell??? Alex
'Cause I can do things that normal people can't... :)
Like what? Close your eyes in the barrel ;)
That's a barrel, even if it was short and you did not come out it... it's a FuckinFijian barrel... how heavy was the water curtain in the end?
The other, Alex
