It makes me wonder the answers to two questions:
(i) Is a 2s barrel on a SUP that hard or noteworthy? (judging by the responses, yes)...
It's a good sequence of a good surfer on a good barrel. This is the internet equivalent of giving a good ride a hoot.

(ii) Why use a SUP in waves like that? (in his case he might want to gather experience to use in competition?)
Ask Doggie why he licks his balls. Cause he can. Cause it feels good. Tastes a bit funny tho.
Funny thing is that with this sequence i don't even care what you are riding. He took off behind the section and pulled straight in at Gnarloo, it's about 2 foot deep and heavy as. If this pit is only 2 seconds I will burn every board I own which I assure you would make a bloody big fire.
Good surfing is good surfing, who gives a rats about the equipment?? If you took off on waves like this on a booger, goat boat, shortboard, Mal, fish, Alaia, Rubber tube, mat, Hand Plane or whatever it deserves reco. The guy obviously rips, the fact that it is harder to get pitted on SUP than shortboard in my mind just shows that he would surf better than most on a shortboard as well.
Here's one for you Dogleg. SUP's are harder to surf well than a shortboard, when you see a guy ripping on a SUP it's not because the board helps him to do it, it's because the guy also rips on the board he came from originally. It's not imposting, it's a different challenge and for most surfers that do both the reason why they ride SUP in the first place.
