Gabriel Medina Did a Backflip on a Surfboard [Video]

Professional surfer Gabriel Medina recently pulled off this backflip. I’m not sure how rare this is, but since it got 170,000 views since it was uploaded yesterday, I have to assume this is kind of special.

Look, I’m sorry. I’m not a professional surfer. All I know about surfing is that they are bros who do Ninjutsu and rob banks and the Fonz was a natural. Also, the WB had a reality show about female surfers in the early 2000′s and it was great television. So much drama though. Why must there always be such drama?
