After an incomplete pass thrown at Nabers, Joseph and fellow DB Terrion Arnold got in Nabers’ business.

The Olympic surfing competition has been one of the most interesting parts of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. That’s because instead of trying to catch barrels, bruh, on the English Channel or somewhere in the Mediterranean along the south of France, surfers are thousands of miles away from the City of Lights doing their thing in Tahiti, part of French Polynesia.
The event now holds the record for the Olympic event held furthest away from the host city, and it has provided some spectacular moments, but nothing will top watching a whale breach during the competition.
