A few weeks ago Hawaii’s Zeke Lau breathed life back into his YouTube channel and posted a vlog for the first time in four months.
It was probably a much needed break, since the dude had a lot going on. Lau’s known as “one of the world’s most well-rounded surfers” and was regrouping in the wake of some big changes. He split from longtime sponsor Quicksilver, nailed down a new one, had a rough go with the CT last year, and had a baby.
He hadn’t been surfing much either, and said he skipped the first few months of winter on the North Shore. But Lau’s been vlogging and surfing regularly since. In the video below, he gets insanely barreled surfing Backdoor with friends.

Lau captioned his latest vlog above:
“ZEKE SURFS SCORES AN EPIC SESSION AT BACKDOOR WITH SOME FRIENDS.”
The video’s a true short and sweet surf flick. It’s almost five minutes of dialogue-free surfing on the North Shore, with a cast of rippers including Mason Ho, Shion Crawford, Betty Lou Sakura Johnson, and Ivan Florence.
Press play for a fun day on the North Shore.
Lau’s viewers are stoked he’s back. It’s clear in the comments below:
“Looks so fun. Great post. Keep it up. Thanks”
“Bro, this is turning into a killer, no BS channel! Well done!!! Good job putting in Mason, Betty Lou, Keahi de Aboitiz and the others. Good choice of extras!!! Keahi rips all kinds of different craft.”
“Keep vlogging Zeke cuz people like me who just shoveled my way out of 10ft of snow in Tahoe is dreaming of surfing!!!”
“Thank you for bringing us along to experience riding the waves with you. So enjoyed watching all of you having fun together”
