A young woman prepares to execute a “Barrel”,' also referred to as tubing or getting pitted, at Arpoador in Rio de Janeiro on June 28, 2024. Barreling involves riding inside the hollowed-out face of a wave, making it one of the most exhilarating and demanding maneuvers in surfing. The peak season for this thrilling experience is winter, marked by predominantly left-hand waves that can be enjoyed across all tide conditions. (Photo by Bob Karp/ZUMA Press Wire/Alamy Live News)
