It's abundantly clear that professional surfer Mason Ho is more than happy to use his prodigious surfing skills to surf small, weird breaks. As far as we can tell, he fully subscribes to the "a barrel is a barrel, no matter how small" philosophy, and is just as happy to rip a four-foot swell as he would be to surf a huge swell at Jaws.

Luckily, Ho's surf style lends itself well to smaller waves where he's able to get creative without worrying about a potentially-fatal hold-down. On the morning depicted in this POV edit, he headed to an old favorite break for a session of small barrels and near-misses of sharp rocks, which didn't seem to bother him as much as one might expect.
