Screams of excitement explode from delighted spectators mouths as a tiny Brazilian lady on a bodyboard paddles late into a maxing 10ft Pipeline beast. She falls top to bottom, dropping head first into the barrel, and gets annihilated by the wave. Everyone fears for her life. Water patrol race in to pick her up and the crowd cheers as she is dropped on the beach. She is safe. Leila Alli smiles, thanks the patrol, hobbles down the beach a bit, and paddles back out for more. |
