As a parent there is fewer rewarding feelings than being able to surf with your son or daughter. Watching them grow and evolve from a white water warrior, to paddling out the back with you and eventually if they get good enough, trading tubes with you is something really quite special. In the case of Brett Barley, he’s now doing marathon sessions with his 12-year-old son Masen and the pair can be found trading tubes on many of the OBX sandbars that Brett has made his name on.

In Brett’s latest YouTube edit, they score a fun looking left hand sandbar with head high running tubes and proceed to surf for six hours. It seems that whether its two or ten foot on the Outer Banks, there’s always a wave with a bit of girth that allows for some tube time.

Here’s what Brett wrote about the session: “We thought we were just going to have a fun little window of leftover waves for the morning, before the wind ruined it… Masen and I hopped out for some green and glassy barrels, then ended up rolling that into a 6hr session at the sandbar next door! The wind cooperated longer than our bodies could survive…. it was such a blast surfing together, and he paddled and surfed just as long as I did. Quite the feat for a 12yr old haha.”
