In Surfing, "backdoor" refers to a specific type of wave or surf break, particularly associated with the famous Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. It occurs when a wave breaks over a shallow reef in a way that allows surfers to ride it from the backside, or "behind," rather than the more common frontside approach. This maneuver requires skill and precision, as it often involves navigating through heavy waves and challenging conditions. The term can also refer to a specific surf spot where this type of wave consistently breaks.
