Story and video at link. Two unusual things about this:
1) Jordy Smith perfected the backflip while surfing waves, and
2) a mainstream news agency is breaking / covering the story

Pigs may be flying.

pffft, I've done plenty of backflips while surfing. Ok, the last little bit of the manouvere (landing) hasnt quite been perfected, and I havent intentionally done one, but if I can do them without even trying it can't be too hard.
