They say there are no absolutes in life; I beg to differ. Albee Layer is 100 percent, without doubt, one of the baddest, most well-rounded surfers walking the Earth. There’s arguably not another soul on his level at this very moment. He was perhaps the standout during this year’s big-wave Jaws season and his past accomplishments and accolades should’ve already been enough to induct him in the Surfers’ Hall of Fame.
“Albee set two goals this year,” said filmmaker Dan Norkunas. “One was to stay healthy through a Jaws year and the other was to land a backside 540. Not sure if either goal went the way it was planned. Regardless, it was a winter to remember, and this edit proves that Jaws wasn’t the only thing worth surfing on the Valley Isle.”
If this isn’t the most intense six minutes of surfing you’ve seen today, then I’d love to see what is.
