$Erik Aeder has seen the evolution of surfing at Jaws from day one and is there every time it is breaking. This is an angle you don’t usually see of the lineup right at sunrise on a beautiful Maui day. I love this angle, because it gives a different perspective of how much water is moving out there.

$This is one of my all time favorite photos. Pure gold! Albee Layer <a href=\"https://instagram.com/hipstersurfer808\">@hipstersurfer808</a> looks on at an empty Peahi beauty, which is very rare nowadays. Sometimes photos can make this place look too perfect. It is a much different game when you’re in the water. I would have loved to been on that one!

$Peahi is the heaviest paddle-in big wave in the world, and our Maui crew takes safety very seriously. The <a href=\"https://instagram.com/skullbase_everything\">@skullbase_everything</a> boys are out there every swell keeping an eye on and watching over the best surfers in the world. They pull people out of extremely heavy situations and are always there to lend a hand when someone is in need. The whole crew are such great humans!
