Team Volcom And Billy Kemper Win 2024 Da Hui Backdoor Shootout

Billy Kemper wins Da Hui Backdoor Shootout; Volcom takes Team honors
 
So maybe they didn’t get a Day 4 this year. Big deal. The 2024 Da Hui Backdoor Shootout in Memory of Duke Kahanamoku still got three pumping days of Banzai and Backdoor Pipeline, and two particularly memorable ones out of that three, before being shut down by crappy Kona winds for a week.
 
The Shootout’s format is completely unique: eight teams of five surfers (chosen by sponsor, crew, nation, or neighborhood), four non-elimination heats each, best five waves decide the winning team -- and best three waves decide an individual winner.
 
“For me, the Shootout holds the same prestige as the Eddie,” says event winner Billy Kemper. “There are some of these events in surfing that never really register as, like, surf contests, you know? To me, only two events in the entire world hold that power. The Shootout and the Eddie, they're more like celebrations of surfing, culture and community — rather than rankings, ratings, or competition.
 
“At the end of the day, the weight of winning the Shootout is so much heavier than a WSL event or any other contest.”
