Tommy Carroll

At Pipeline in the mid 80’s TC earned the same kind of respect that Rory Rusell and Gerry Lopez achieved in the 70’s. The only difference being instead of just riding the barrel with style and grace Tommy began snapping turns in the most critical sections where no one else had gone before. This shot of the accident prone TC wearing a Gath helmet was shot mid 90’s as he draws his line at Pipe and is about to get enclosed by the lip.
