It’s that time of the year again, when the studious folk at WSL HQ comb through the hundreds of entries and drop their shortlist for the least coveted prize in surfing; The Wipeout Of The Year.
As the standard of big wave surfing climbs ever higher, the wipeouts just get worse and worse and this years list certainly features offerings as horrendous as ever.
Our very own Andrew Cotton kicks thing off with his back shattering Nazare bouncy ball impression, then Kemper gets eviscerated by a Jaws lip, Coco Nogales suffers a nasty Peuerto hang up, Eli Olson performs a few weightless cartwheels down the face at Jaws and finally, Owen Shultz and a one footed ride gone wrong at Nazare.
Enjoy the clips in full here:
