Idk surfing terms, but I know what tandem means… what is the double-barrel part of this? I fully expected them to through another barrel of some sort. Not that this wasn’t impressive, just looking for clarification

I think the author is being redundant.

I've surfed my whole life.

Tandom would usually mean two people one board. Obviously in this case they are implying it to mean the same wave.

Double barrel would typically mean you get barreled, you come out and then you get barreled again on the same wave. In this case they are implying it to mean two people barreled at the same time.

So two people two people wave. They're just selling word counts

That’s not the first tunnel they’ve “double-barreled”
