If you’re an avid follower of social media or YouTube devotee, then you would be aware that yesterday saw a swell for the history books bombard Hawaii.
At the pinnacle of the action was Jaws, which was so big we’re not even game to begin assigning a size to it. It’s probably best to just call it really, really fucking big.
With the notorious Maui trades blowing a gale, paddle surfing was out of the question, so it was the tow crew, along with a hardy bunch of windsurfers and kitesurfer to take it on.
Kai Lenny was at the front of the pack and took to the waves as only he can. Chop-hop rotations into giant drops, mach-10 carves in the bowl, and even air attempts on waves that would make reasonable people brown their trousers just by looking at them.
