Watch: Is This the Best Backdoor Tube of All Time?

Picking the best Backdoor tube of all time is a monumental task.

From Tom Curren to Kelly Slater, Michael Ho, Laurie Towner, John Florence and so many more, every year someone packs a new wild ride that's up there with the best.

Still, this wave from Kaiehe Hunt yesterday might just top them all.

Let's turn to Kuio Young for the backstory:

"Brah… my Hoa Pili @kainehe_hunt just got the best Backdoor wave I’ve even seen in my life. Fuckin incredible this guy!!!", writes Young on Instagram. "FUNNY STORY: 28 minutes before he caught this wave I called him up to see what he was doing. He answers and goes hooo I’m resting, I might wash my truck. I go u faka, I’m filming and it’s getting good, you better paddle out. Sure enough he paddles out at the gums sand pile, 2 minutes later this wave comes straight to him, deepest guy out and HO-ing guys off the wave. Faka wrangled that thing from Deep in the pipe channel, all the way to the end of OTW. They say Pipeline chooses you and that wahine must love him because she gave him one mean blessing today. Came a long way from da house in poipu beach, couldn’t be more stoked for you brother."

In an Instagram post of his own, Hunt credits Young for getting him out there, and thanks him for filming the wave.

"Kuio Young love you brother, couldn’t have gotten this wave without all that we’ve been through together LET ALONE YOU CAPTURING IT!!!"

So, is this the best Backdoor wave of all-time? Young definitely makes a compelling case with this multi-section screamer.

Either way, this ride won't soon be forgotten.
