The Hawaiian Islands have been getting slammed with all kinds of huge swell this winter. Maui is no exception as Jaws has seen XXL surf for most of January.
Recently, a paddle session went down at Peahi featuring Francisco Porcella, his brother Niccolo Porcella, and other chargers. Francisco positioned a GoPro on the nose of his board and another camera filmed from up above. With more than a couple surfers sharing these bombs, something brutal was bound to happen. And it did. There are more than a few cringe-worthy slams in here as well as some heart-in-your-throat barrels.
Is tow surfing a more organized and safer way to surf massive waves like these?
Hat tip to Sofie Louca for the find.
