Gabriel Medina avoids boat in surf
Video of Brazilian surf champion Gabriel Medina narrowly avoiding a boat in large swell has emerged in a Rip Curl promotion.
The 21-year-old in the video above can be seen coming out of a tube to set-up for a cut back only to abort at the last minute and avoid a face full of fiberglass.
The Rip Curl promotion published last month joins a list of close calls and epic saves in the waves.
