Snippet:
Australian surfer Hughie Vaughan found viral fame after landing a so-called 'stalefish flipper' at a competition in a Texas wave pool last year. The teenager from Bateau Bay on the NSW Central Coast launched into a backflip on a right break, holding his board with his right hand and landing smoothly on the top of the wave.
