Perhaps you’ve been asleep under a rock? If so, you might have missed this giant swell and the subsequent photographic and video evidence that has flowed endlessly across social media over the last 24 hours.
And for good reason. Cloudbreak was gigantic. Dane Gudauskas caught one of the first paddle-in waves of the session. Forgotten among the enormous barrels framed by the blue Fijian waters is the fact that it was pretty dangerous out there. So you can see the relief and appreciation when Dane is picked up by water safety expert Ryan Hargrave, who was on hand to play “hand of God,” with his jetski. Yes, Dane caught a keeper (even though he didn’t make it). But Ryan saved him from taking multiples on the head. Or worse.
